Our colleague Luis Enrique Sánchez Crespo has been interviewed in La Tribuna de Ciudad Real. A member of the Security and Audit Group (GSYA), he noted that 2021 marks a change in trend in the way cybercriminals attack.

If in 2020 there were 'many attacks', during 2021 they were used in 'serious cases', mainly active against public administrations, something that the Ukraine war, when the 2022 data is known, will show with an increase in those criminal actions.

In fact, Sánchez Crespo recalled the kidnapping cases that occurred in 2020, something that was reduced in 2021, shifting to other types of actions such as 'intellectual property theft attempts', as well as hacking in public administrations. This means that one of the most used assets is the so-called RaaS, a ransomware that involves data kidnapping for which they ask for small amounts, which in many cases are paid because it is less than losing the files.
