Cyber Defense eMagazine February Edition for 2022

The view from the Publisher’s desk is very encouraging, based on celebrating 10 years of growth and success at Cyber Defense Magazine! When our tiny team began our journey at Cyber Defense Media Group (CDMG) together in January 2012, we were happy to help smaller, lesser-known innovators of infosec, get their message out there and Rise Above the noise. Now, after 10 years, we’re even helping multi-billion-dollar companies and governments around the globe with our offices in D.C., London, N.Y. and other locations in play, as we continue to scale, thanks to you – our readers, listeners, viewers and media partners. Beyond the magazine, in response to the demands of our markets, the scope of CDMG’s activities has grown into many media endeavors. They now include Cyber Defense Awards; Cyber Defense Conferences; Cyber Defense Professionals (job postings); Cyber Defense TV, Radio, and Webinars; and Cyber Defense Ventures (partnering with investors). Please check them out and see how much more CDMG has to offer! Very respectfully and with much appreciation, Gary Miliefsky, Publisher

How Criminals Have Migrated Through Identity Theft and<br />

Privacy into <strong>Cyber</strong> Attacks<br />

By P. William Zivanchev, Executive Director, Institute of Consumer Financial Education<br />

Introduction<br />

At first glance, readers may wonder why an article on identity theft appears in <strong>Cyber</strong> <strong>Defense</strong> Magazine,<br />

and why it comes from the Institute of Consumer Financial Education (ICFE). To understand today’s<br />

cyber criminal trends, it’s necessary to delve into the history of the phenomenon.<br />

For nearly 20 years, the ICFE has provided the premier identity theft risk management course <strong>for</strong><br />

professionals working with consumers and businesses. ICFE is the certifying and publishing authority<br />

<strong>for</strong> the nationally recognized Certified Identity Theft Risk Management - CITRMS® course, a credential<br />

which has been earned by thousands of professional advisers and case workers.<br />

During that period, we have seen many changes in the threat landscape, but also many continuing trends<br />

in the ways in which cyber criminals operate and the ways in which defenders, both public and private,<br />

have responded.<br />
