RiskIQ’s research has also uncovered
additional malicious activity each minute,
ranging from blacklisted mobile apps
to malvertising:
• A total of 1.5 organisations fell victim to
ransomware attacks every minute with an
average cost to businesses of US$ 15,221
• There was a total of 0.17 blacklisted
mobile apps
• There were 0.21 new phishing domains
• A total of 0.07 incidents of the Magecart
credit card skimmer
• There were 0.1 new sites running the
CoinHive cryptocurrency mining script
• Four potentially vulnerable web
components were discovered
“As companies innovate online to make more
meaningful touchpoints with their customers,
partners and employees, attackers prey on
their lack of visibility into their Internet-facing
attack surface to erode users’ trust and access
credentials and sensitive data,” Manousos
said. “Businesses must realise that they are
vulnerable beyond the firewall, all the way
across the open Internet.” n
