ABSTRACT
The information security problems include a wide range of possible threats that affect almost every aspect of human life. This article makes a survey about the trends of the latest problems in cybersecurity reviewing the security reports issued by some major information security companies. These problems are not static, nor equally distributed. Some of them have more significant impact than others in a specific time but at the next period the situation is changed. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the existing trends in the cyberspace security and to point out the future research tasks in the area.
