Yesterday I have published the Cyber Attacks Timelines of June (part I and part II), so now I can finally publish the statistics. In June I have collected 211 significant events, an increase compared to the 211 of May.
Unsurprisingly, cyber crime leads the Motivations chart with 85.8% (a slightly lower than May when it was 88.7%.) Similarly, malware continues to lead the Attack Techniques chart, but its value drops to 40.8% from 48.6% in May). I won’t stress enough the concept that the real value could be even higher since some malware-based attacks are filed as “Unknown” as the victims do not disclose enough information.)
And one again multiple industries keep the leadership of the Target Distribution chart with 17.8%, two points higher than May, when it was 15.8%, and for the second month in a row, ahead of public administrations.
The statistics are also available as an infographic.
