2020 was one of the worst for cybersecurity. In light of the pandemic and catastrophic economic turmoil, keeping our personal privacy and online safety is far from our priorities.
Researchers in 2020 recorded a huge spike in phishing attacks on the banking sector. Medical companies with the beginning of the development of a vaccine against "the one who cannot be called" came under the gun of hacker groups.
In terms of data breaches, over 737 million files were compromised in 2020. The biggest leak occurred at the cosmetics company Estee Lauder, with 440 million records leaked to hackers.
AV-test, a company that catalogs new types of malware, has seen a rapid increase in new types of malware that it detects. The sharp increase in the number of attacks using cryptojacking, ransomware and phishing attacks increased by 252% compared to the previous year.
