According to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), the most significant cybersecurity challenges identified in its 2024 Threat Landscape report are as follows:

1. Threats against availability (DDoS attacks)

Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks continue to be the most prevalent, with the primary aim of disrupting the availability of online services. These attacks frequently target public administration, transport, and finance sectors, often resulting in severe operational interruptions.

How deleteme.com can help
deleteme.com can assist by monitoring and tracing exposed data related to such attacks on the dark web. Although tracing perpetrators or negotiating with them is often tricky, our intelligence capabilities sometimes enable the identification of their digital footprint.

2. Ransomware

Ransomware remains a significant cybersecurity threat. Groups such as LockBit, Cl0p, and PLAY have been particularly active, encrypting data and threatening to leak sensitive information as part of multi-layered extortion strategies.

How deleteme.com can help
Deleteme.com monitors dark web marketplaces and forums to trace exposed data and assist in removing compromised information where possible. Although attackers are often difficult to trace or contact, Deleteme.com can identify digital footprints and provide actionable intelligence in some instances.

3. Threats against data

Whether accidental or malicious, data breaches and leaks continue to pose significant risks. These incidents often lead to the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive and personal information, affecting individuals and organizations.

How deleteme.com can help
Deleteme.com scans the dark web and breach databases to identify if clients’ data has been compromised. We inform clients about the scale and severity of the breach and offer solutions to help remove or reduce exposed data.

4. Malware

Malware, including viruses, worms, and trojans, remains widespread. These malicious programs are designed to infiltrate systems, steal data, and facilitate other cyberattacks, including ransomware deployments.

How deleteme.com can help
While deleting malware traces is often challenging, deleteme.com scans for infostealer malware logs and other compromised credentials to determine whether a client has been affected.

5. Social engineering

Techniques such as phishing, spear-phishing, and baiting continue to exploit human psychology to gain unauthorized access to systems and sensitive information. These methods remain highly effective as they target individuals directly.

How deleteme.com can help
deleteme.com assesses clients’ digital footprints to identify exposed personal information that may be exploited in social engineering attacks. We then work to clean and minimize this exposure.

6. Information manipulation and interference

Misinformation and disinformation campaigns have become increasingly prevalent, often utilizing social media to influence public opinion and disrupt democratic processes.

How deleteme.com can help
Through advanced internet and social media scanning, deleteme.com detects and monitors digital mentions, including false or malicious narratives. We provide comprehensive reports and support reputation management strategies to counter misinformation.

7. Supply chain attacks

Cyber attackers increasingly target supply chains, exploiting third-party services and software vulnerabilities to infiltrate more extensive networks. These attacks highlight the interdependent nature of today’s digital ecosystems.
