The year 2021 experienced a record number of cyber-attacks. The year-on-year increase in cyberattacks is around 50% and the outlook for 2022 is the same. The attackers are working in more and more sophisticated ways, focusing on the sensitive data of companies and their clients.
Emil Frey, a car dealer, is one of the latest large companies you can read about in the media. The damage is not known yet, and a group called “Hive” is currently threatening to release up to 300 GB of sensitive company data. It appears that the attack was caused by a ransomware, where attackers stole and encrypted data with the aim to obtain a nice amount of ransom money.
