| More attacks on unpatched software IBM warns Biggish Blue’s annual X-Force Threat Intelligence Index said that there had been a 33 per cent increase in attacks caused by vulnerability exploitation of unpatched software which were the cause of 44 per cent of ransomware attacks. While phishing was the most common cause of cyberattacks in general in the past year, IBM Security X-Force said that ransomware and vulnerability exploitations "imprisoned" businesses in 2021 further burdening global supply chains, with manufacturing emerging as the most targeted industry. Ransomware was the top attack type for the third year in a row, comprising 21 per cent of all attacks IBM Security X-Force observed globally. The 2022 report details how in 2021 ransomware actors attempted to "fracture" the backbone of global supply chains with attacks on manufacturing, which became 2021's most attacked industry (23 per cent), dethroning financial services and insurance after a long reign. https://fudzilla.com/news/54426-more...tched-software |
