ANALYSIS OF THE FREQUENCY AND TYPE OF CYBER ATTACKS ON VIBER: STATISTICAL CORRELATION AND TRENDS IN THE LAST THREE YEARS

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the frequency and types of cyber attacks on Viber, as well as the impact of various protective measures on reducing the risk of attacks. Data from 100 users were used, of whom 47 reported attacks, while some successfully applied protective mechanisms. Using statistical methods of correlation and trend analysis, it was investigated how two-step authentication, regular application updates, avoiding suspicious links, anti-virus software and access restriction contribute to reducing the likelihood of an attack. The results showed that the combination of several protective measures significantly reduces the risk. The combination of four measures provides the best protection, reducing the probability of an attack to 37.6%. These results highlight the importance of implementing multi-layered safeguards to protect the privacy and security of Viber users.
