“The number of targeted attacks has dramatically increased. Unlike largely indiscriminate attacks that focus on stealing credit card and banking information associated with cybercrime, targeted attacks noticeably differ and are better characterized as cyber espionage. In a typical targeted attack, a target receives a contextually relevant email that encourages a potential victim to click a link or open a file. The links and files the attackers send contain malicious code that exploits vulnerabilities in popular software,” said Amit Nath, country manager India and SAARC at Trend Micro.


When compared to the same period last year, India appears to have overtaken the United States as the top global contributor of junk messages, while spam originating from the United Kingdom has decreased by a massive 47 percent.
