Cybersecurity threatscape: Q3 2023

In Q3, the total number of incidents went down only slightly (by 2%) when compared to the previous quarter. Social engineering remained the top threat to individuals (92%). Cybercriminals were eager to improve their malicious methods and use new tools, including neural networks. In attacks on organizations, cybercriminals continued to use malware (in 45% of cases), but the share of encryption malware dropped from Q2 2023, with some ransomware operators now stealing data without encrypting systems. Exploitation of vulnerabilities accounted for a significant share (37%) of successful attacks on organizations. The third quarter also saw multiple cyberattacks that caused serious consequences, such as data breaches (56% of successful attacks on organizations and 61% of attacks against individuals).

Cybersecurity threatscape: Q2 2023

The number of incidents rose by 4% compared to the previous quarter and by 17% against Q2 2022. Successful cyberattacks on organizations most often resulted in leakage of confidential information (51%) and disruption of operations (44%). Targeted attacks accounted for 78% of the total. Ransom cyberattacks are still on the rise: the number of incidents grew by 13% compared to Q1. On the flip side, ransomware groups tend to threaten their victims with publishing the stolen data, rather than ask to pay a ransom for data decryption. We note that cybercriminals use spyware in attacks on individuals more frequently. The number of crimes against blockchain projects increased as well. Q2 saw numerous major leaks of users' personal data and large-scale attacks that exploited vulnerabilities.
