The first cyber attacks timeline of October 2021 is here and let me say that, at least in terms of numbers, I have recorded the lower value for this year:

It's time to publish the second timeline of October, covering the main cyber attacks happened in the second half of the month, plus some additional events that occurred before this period, but were discovered or disclosed in the considered interval. This timeline contains 119 events, so apparently the break in the previous timelines was just an illusion. Unsurprisingly ransomware plays an important role in these numbers: almost one out of three events is...

The second timeline of March is here! Unsurprisingly in this fortnight I have collected the highest number of events so far (107), and one third of them is somehow related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately cyber criminals are not showing any mercy in such complicated moments. Not only...

Happy new infosec year! Let's start this 2020 with the first timeline of December covering the main cyber attacks occurred during the first half of the same month. In this timeline I have collected a total of 81 events (including 5 that occurred before but were included in this timeline as well), a value that is back to the levels of the first half of November, and records a sharp increase in comparison to the previous one.

Here’s the first timeline of August, covering the main cyber attacks occurred in the first half of the eighth month of this troubled 2019. Even if we haven’t achieved the same level of July, the temperature of the infosec thermometer continues to be quite high, since in this timeline I have collected...
