2017 Q2 Cybercrime Report
By ThreatMetrix
Cybercrime continues to grow, with organizations being attacked more than ever before. ThreatMetrix detected and stopped 144 million attacks this quarter and 300 million bot attacks. The complex, networked nature of cybercrime attacks can be seen in the following key trends analyzed this quarter: • The evolution of emerging economies in the cybercrime landscape as identity data trickles down to all regions of the globe following large-scale breaches • The regional variations in attack vector trends, with South America emerging as a hub for new account origination fraud • The emergence of highly organized criminal gangs targeting multiple organizations within the ThreatMetrix Network • The rise in mobile attack rates as attackers turn their attention towards the growing mobile economy
