New data has found that unique cyber-attacks have declined for the first time since 2018. The research has shown that in Q3 2021 there has been a 4.8% decline in unique attacks, which is the first decline recorded since 2018. The researchers have said that this reduction was mainly due to a decline in ransomware attacks, as well as the fact that some of the largest cybercrime gang’s activities have been curtailed by law enforcement.
