Trend Micro warned of the vulnerabilities of the metavselnaya – Bits Media

Computer security specialists from the antivirus company Trend Micro count, that in the first few years of their existence, the metavselny will be the crime seedlings.

Trend Micro reports, that the metavselny have growing vulnerabilities, which can manifest over the next five years. Among the main threats, the company called problems with the regulation of metavselnaya, NFT security problems, Development similar to the Dark Metavselnaya Darknet, Financial fraud, Confidential problems, Physical threats and traditional attacks on information technology.

According to experts, NFT ownership is checked using blockchain, Therefore, they are vulnerable to attacks, implying data interception. Blockchains are simpler vulnerable to the so -called "attacks of Sivilla", when the victim is connected to the obviously controlled fraudster node.

“It is here that the attacker receives control over more than 50% single -rating nodes, which check transactions, And in this way it can manipulate the ownership of NFT. Also, do not forget, that the space of the metavselnaya may not observe the right of ownership, declared in NFT, Since there is no legal basis for this ", - Experts emphasize.

Besides, Metavsaids can turn their attention to criminal groups, Since a huge amount of transactions of e -commerce will be made in the virtual space. According to experts, “We will see a lot of pumping and reset schemes, when attackers increase the value of digital assets using fake recommendations, approval and investment, and then throw them away. "

At the same time, law enforcement agencies will need about two years, to gain sufficient skill and technology for the fight against crime in metavsel. Therefore, in the early stages of their existence, users are unlikely to receive qualified assistance, Experts concluded.

Earlier, analysts of the international company Technavio said, that the metavselnaya market will show significant growth, And its capitalization will exceed $50 billion to 2026 year.
