Explosion in cyberattacks!

Microsoft's newly released Digital Defense Report 2024 reveals striking data in the field of cybersecurity.

According to the report, password attacks have reached a record level of 7 thousand per second. This situation highlights how fragile web security has become.

STATE-SPONSORED ATTACKS ARE INCREASING

One of the most notable points in the report is the increase in state-sponsored cyberattacks. Microsoft states that many countries are using hackers to steal data, cause damage, and spread ransomware.

These hackers pose a serious threat due to being well-funded and possessing advanced tools.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE USHERS IN A NEW ERA IN CYBERCRIME

Artificial intelligence is becoming a new tool for cybercrime. Hackers can use AI to generate fake content such as images, videos, and text to deceive people. This leads to cyberattacks becoming more sophisticated and effective.

Tim Burt, head of Microsoft's Customer Security and Trust team, states that state-sponsored hackers are becoming increasingly capable and difficult to stop.

Burt draws attention to the danger of using artificial intelligence in cybercrime, emphasizing that this situation poses a major risk for companies and individuals.

ATTACKS ARE INCREASING EXPONENTIALLY

Microsoft announced that it blocks more than 600 million cyberattacks every day. While fraud cases have increased by 400 percent since 2022, ransomware attacks have also nearly tripled.
