Global critical infrastructure under attack, study finds
Global critical infrastructure networks are being pummeled with repeated cyberattacks from foreign nation-states and other adversaries, including terrorist organizations and organized crime groups, a report by McAfee concluded.
More than half of the respondents said their organization has already experienced “large-scale” cyberattacks and “stealthy infiltration” of their networks by organized crime gangs, terrorists or nation-states. Malware and virus infections were the most widely reported cyberattacks, which 89 percent of respondents said their organization has experienced.
