Quote:According to a newly released survey conducted at Black Hat 2018, 50 percent of hackers said that Windows 8 and Windows 10 have been the easiest attack vectors to exploit this year.

Thycotic surveyed more than 300 hackers – nearly 70 percent of whom identified as white hats – to understand the hacker perspective with regard to vulnerabilities and attack vectors.  

In 2018 Black Hat Hacker Report, Thycotic reveals that hackers often leverage the reality that operating systems are only as secure as the people using them. “The 2018 Black Hat Hacker Report indicates that our operating systems and endpoints remain woefully vulnerable to hackers and threats from cyber-criminals,” said Joseph Carson, chief security scientist at Thycotic, in today’s press release.
