By Digital News Asia April 15, 2024Region saw a YoY decline in email threats, online banking malware
Trend Micro blocked 161 billion threats overall in 2023, compared to 82 billion threats five years ago. Some of the key global findings include: These findings suggest that firstly, threat actors are becoming more prudent about selecting their targets, and secondly, becoming more skilled in bypassing early detection layers. In the case of malicious emails, for instance, instead of launching large-scale attacks that rely on victims clicking on malicious links in websites and emails, cybercriminals are targeting a smaller pool of higher-profile victims with more sophisticated attacks.
The report also illuminated threat developments in Southeast Asia in 2023. While SEA saw an overall increase in ransomware detections, making up more than half of the global number, this was largely attributed to significant detections within Thailand. Other markets such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines saw a decline in ransomware detections, similar to the overall global trend. In Singapore, the number of ransomware detections fell by 42%.
