During November 2021, I have collected 200 events (in the first and second timeline) that I am finally aggregating into statistics. A number very close to the 200 events that I collected during the previous month.
Cyber crime continues to lead the Motivations chart, but its percentage drops to 80% from 87.8%. There is a clear explanation of this number and it’s the growth of cyber espionage that jumps at 15% from 8.1%, The widespread exploitation of vulnerabilities has pushed this sector back to the values of September.
This trend also reflects in theAttack Techniques chart, with malware that drops to 35.5% from 49.2%, once again, among the known techniques, ahead of account takeovers with 17% (from 13.7%), Targeted attacks account for 9% (from 5.1%) and vulnerabilities for 7% (from 5.6%). It really looks like the values are very similar to September.
Last but not least, multiple targets lead the Target Distribution with 25.5% (it was 26.9% in October), ahead of healthcare with 13.5% (vs. 11.2% in October) and individuals (11.5% vs. 13.2%).
Check out the interactive charts and the statistics, also available as an infographic.
