ZDNet: According to the 2021 Annual Data Breach Report published by the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) on Monday, the overall number of data compromises (1,862) is up more than 68% compared to 2020 (1,108). Out of the 1,862 compromises, 1,600 of those were cyberattacks.
Finextra: Based on data from eight years of working to assess cyber risk at hundreds of companies across many sectors in dozens of countries, it is clear that the financial sector is one of the best prepared for an attack, reflecting years of improvements and investment. But, although it only lagged behind the industrial, cyber and manufacturing sectors, the financial sector still has a lot of work to do, we found in our soon-to-published research.

CNBC: Scammers took home a record $14 billion in cryptocurrency in 2021, thanks in large part to the rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, according to new data from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.
ZDNet: The threat of cyberattacks is growing and much more needs to be done to educate businesses and users about risks in order to prevent widespread damage and disruption as a result of cyber incidents.
Help Net Security: Between cloud proliferation, new tech infrastructure and tools and an increasingly distributed workforce, organizations are struggling to implement proper risk management practices.
