In the first quarter of this year 1,046 businesses found themselves victims of double extortion. It might not sound like an issue but its important to consider that the actual number could be much higher as many cases go unreported staying hidden in what experts refer to as the “dark figure.”
The reality is that all businesses, no matter their size or industry are targets. However certain sectors face frequent attacks. Manufacturing, professional services, scientific and technical services and wholesale trade are among the targeted. Alarmingly there has been an increase in attacks on the healthcare and social assistance sectors despite potential societal and political implications.
