India is the second-biggest target of cyber criminals in
Asia-Paci c in 2020: IBM
By VARINDIA - 2021-02-26
India ranked second after Japan in attack by cyber criminals in
Asia-Paci c in 2020, was stated in an IBM report released recently.
"India was the second-most attacked country in the Asia-Paci c.
Attacks on India made up 7 percent of all attacks X-Force
observed on Asia in 2020.
"Finance and insurance was the top attacked industry in India (60
percent), followed by manufacturing and professional services,"
the report said.
Ransomware was the top attack type, accounting for around 40
percent of total cyber attacks.
In addition, X-Force observed digital currency mining and server
access attacks had hit Indian companies last year.
"We also witnessed cybercriminals using relief efforts and public
health information as spam lures, including targeted attacks on
critical components of the vaccine supply chain. These all remain
issues in 2021," Sudeep Das, Security Software Technical Sales
Leader, IBM Technology Sales, India/South Asia, said in a
statement.
National Cyber Security Coordinator Lt Gen (Dr) Rajesh Pant, earlier in October 2020 said cyber crimes in India caused Rs 1.25 lakh crore losses
in 2019 and cyber threats will continue to increase as the country starts developing smart cities and rolls out the 5G network, among other
initiatives. Further, Pant called for setting up a dedicated industry forum for cyber security to develop trusted indigenous solutions to check cyber
attacks.
"Last year, our o cial gures were Rs 1.25 lakh crore lost due to cyber crimes in India. Ransomware attacks are increasing everyday and these
criminals have been working from home. They have no qualms. They are heartless people. They are attacking hospitals because they know that
in an emergency, hospitals will pay," Pant said at an event organised by industry body FICCI.
