Kaspersky Identifies Cyberespionage as a Growing Threat Across Africa, Others

Kindly share this postAt the recent Cyber Security Weekend – META event, Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) experts presented the latest findings on the cyberespionage threat landscape across the Middle East, Turkiye, and Africa (META) region. While most cyberthreat categories declined over the past year, cyberespionage continued to intensify in the region. Thus, throughout the past year, spyware attacks increased by 40% in Africa, while password stealer attacks grew by 31% in Africa. The cyberespionage landscape across the META region continues to be driven by geopolitical tensions, regional conflicts and ideological motivations. Another rapidly growing trend is mobile cyberespionage.
