How many people DON\u2019T report ransomware attacks?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s too early to see the Q42021 results from CertNZ but their Q3 report<\/a> tells there were 2,072 incidents that they responded to in Q3 and fraud\/scam\u2019s were up 25%.<\/p>\n

Their report confirms that the very risks we have been warning our readers about are very real, and the defences that all organisations need are layered tools like KARE for Security<\/a> that minimise risk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No one can prevent a cyber-attack but we can reduce the risk.<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve just had a report from US cyber-vendor \u201cBlackFog\u201d come through that reports on ransomware in 2021, and the most stunning statistic was that cybercrime damage is expected to hit $US6Trillion this year, up from $23Trillion in 2015.<\/p>\n

The link above shows a summary of the larger incidents that impacted more recognisable names in a month-by month timeline : Dassault Falcon Jet, Hackney Council, Northern Territory Government, Serco, Toyota, Kia, Nine Network, University of Maryland and so many more \u2013 more universities, more government agencies, police departments, healthcare including here in NZ. But the alarming information was that more of the attacks were moving into the SME space.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but the nature of attacks against non-PCs stepped up, highlighted by \u201cFluBot\u2019 in September – FluBot malware infecting Android phones | CERT NZ<\/a><\/p>\n
