Top ten Cyber affected countries

1. Cybercrime Top 10 affected countries
Russia
The country has one of the highest
rates of ransomware encounters and
malware infections in the world. Russian
sites have also been targeted by
hacktivists protesting against the lack of
media freedom.
United States
There have been a number of
cyber-attacks in 2014, including
ransomware distributions, the temporary
closure of the PlayStation network, the
theft of information from four major
financial institutions, as well as
sustained attacks on state
infrastructure networks.
Germany
Cybercrime equated to 1.6 percent
of Germany’s GDP in 2014; a loss of
US$58 billion. In 2013, 64,500
cybercrime cases were recorded;
however, with non-reporting levels
estimated to be at around 90 percent,
the actual number could exceed
600,000.
The Netherlands
In 2014, cybercrime represented 1.5
percent of the Netherlands’ GDP, or a
loss of US$12 billion. In relative terms,
this is more than twice the rate of the US
and nine times as high as that of the UK.
United Kingdom
The annual cost of cybercrime to
the economy is estimated at £27 billion
(US$43 billion). The most common
cause of cybercrime in 2014 was the
insecurity of information online, followed
by the theft of files and financial details.
China
China lost more than US$45 billion
as a result of cybercrime in 2014. The
majority of this was a result of the theft of
intellectual property from computer
networks. Such attacks are launched
from both within and outside of the
country.
Norway
In 2014, cybercrime represented
0.64 percent of Norway’s GDP, with
estimated losses placed at US$32 billion.
In relative terms, this is equal to that of
the US. On 28 August 2014,
approximately 300 Norwegian oil and
energy companies were targeted in
cyber-attacks.
India
58 percent of attacks in 2014
targeted financial institutions, while the
entertainment industry and infrastructure
organisations each recorded 11 percent
of attacks. The main motivation for these
incidents is financial gain; phishing
attacks are most commonly used to
target individuals and
organisations.
Brazil
More than 87,000 incidents of
malware launches were recorded prior
to and during the start of the 2014 FIFA
World Cup. An attack against an online
payment system infected over 192,000
computers and led to 495,000
fraudulent transactions.
Hong Kong
Statistics from the Hong Kong
Police Force indicate that the number
of reported cases of cybercrime rose by
70 percent in 2013, while financial losses
totalled US$118 million in the same year,
nearly four times as much as 2012.
