PC threat statistics for Q2 2021 contain data on miners, encrypting ransomware, financial malware and threats to Windows, macOS and IoT.

In this report you’ll find Kaspersky DDoS Intelligence statistics, news overview and DDoS market trends and predictions for Q2 2021.

Dan Demeter, Senior Security Researcher with Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team and head of Kaspersky’s Honeypot project, explains what honeypots are, why they’re recommended for catching external threats, and how you can set up your own simple SSH-honeypot.

In Q1 2021, we blocked more than 2 billion attacks launched from online resources across the globe, detected 77.4M unique malicious and potentially unwanted objects, and recognized 614M unique URLs as malicious.

Q4 2020 in terms of DDoS attacks: DDoS market fall, bitcion rise, careful prognoses.

With privacy more often than not being traded for convenience, we believe that for many 2020 has fundamentally changed how much privacy people are willing to sacrifice in exchange for security and access to digital services.

Kaspersky solutions blocked 666,809,967 attacks launched from online resources in various countries across the world, 173,335,902 unique URLs were recognized as malicious by Web Anti-Virus.

The pandemic has turned 2020 into a year of medicine and information technology. The remarkable surge in the criticality level of medical infrastructure, coupled with feasible across-the-board digitalization, led to many of our last year’s predictions coming true much sooner than expected.

Kaspersky solutions blocked 1,416,295,227 attacks launched from online resources across the globe. Ransomware attacks were defeated on the computers of 121,579 unique users.

If Q2 2020 surprised us with an unusually high number of DDoS attacks for this period, the Q3 figures point to a normalization. Judging by the number of unique targets, in comparison with last quarter, cybercriminals were more attracted by European, and less by the Asian countries.

Now, this unique year presents us with a new surprise: the second SAS in one calendar year! Once again, everyone can visit this online event.
