The growing dependence on advanced digital technologies to transform work and leisure have expanded the cyber-attack surfaces leaving individuals and organizations exposed to greater cyber risks and many expressed concerns that the situation is likely to get out of hand as people and businesses start discovering new ways to collaborate, interact, trade, buy, and work in the metaverse world.
Digital world has internet-based applications to make our life easier and the metaverse has potential to become a transformative medium for human engagement. It can enhance our digital experience and engagement further by bringing virtual, 3D environments and immersive technologies together. Users can navigate this online world similar to the way we traverse the real world but with digital avatars. With the concept of metaverse becoming a reality, the lines between digital and physical spaces will become even more blurry. But what could be the downsides?
Vulnerabilities and security loopholes that are likely to plague the Metaverse
Because of its infrastructure, the metaverse is expected to bring totally new cybercrimes, in addition to the usual phishing, malware, and hacking. First, cybercriminals will have plenty of possibilities thanks to the metaverse's personal nature and the data it generates. VR headsets and digital avatars provide a more intimate look into users' real life than anything that could be shared on social media. Second, the AR/VR devices that power the metaverse collect a huge amount of personal user data such as biometric information, which opens a window for potential cyber hacks/ attacks. As the metaverse evolves. the risks to the user data will also increase manifold. Third, technologies that are powering the metaverse will require robust IT devices and their firmware, and hence, these are the most critical areas for cybersecurity.
