The document is a security threat report from Symantec that summarizes key cyber threats. It finds that while some threats like malware distribution through emails are decreasing, others like crypto-ransomware attacks have risen dramatically by 45 times from 2013 to 2014. The report also warns that cybercriminals have made attacks cheaper and easier to carry out by offering crimeware-as-a-service and renting out attack toolkits for as little as $100 a week. However, the report provides recommendations on how individuals and organizations can better protect themselves against cyber threats through actions like frequent password changes, keeping systems updated, and using encryption.
