网络安全研究人员发现，2021年最后5个月与今年前5个月相比，全球针对消费者的勒索软件攻击增加了38%，而在印度，这一数字为65%。
根据全球安全公司Avast的数据，在移动端，广告软件和欺诈软件是最大的威胁。
“攻击者的方法正变得越来越复杂。网络犯罪分子使用的技术使他们更难被发现，并进行更个性化的网络攻击。他们还在尝试和测试的技术上添加了新的内容，特别是在诈骗等社会工程类型的攻击中。”
在6月至10月期间，全球企业遭受的攻击数量也增加了32%。
然而，对于印度来说，这一数字低于全球平均水平，为19%。
总体而言，网络钓鱼攻击在2021年继续增加。
今年最后5个月，全球企业遭遇网络钓鱼诈骗的几率增加了40%，但印度的几率要低得多，仅为13%。
报告指出:“消费者也继续成为网络钓鱼诈骗的目标，全球(24%)和印度(23%)的数字几乎相同。”
今年，据报道，各种各样的新威胁旨在从加密货币中获利或以用户的费用挖掘加密货币。
除了Crackonosh和BlueStealer，研究人员还发现了通过HackBoss传播的窃取加密货币的恶意软件电报在被发现时，该频道从受害者那里偷走了超过56万美元。
今年9月，研究人员发现了超过19300个安卓类的不正确配置可能暴露用户数据的应用程序重火力点数据库——开发者可以用来存储用户数据的Android工具。
这影响了广泛的不同应用程序，包括世界各地的生活方式、健身、游戏、送餐和邮寄应用程序。
萨拉特说:“网络犯罪分子今年继续使用他们的许多伎俩，利用社会工程传播恶意软件来获取人们的钱，滥用跟踪软件等技术来侵犯人们的隐私，或者欺骗脆弱的观众，让他们为欺诈软件应用程序或不必要的技术支持付费。”

<\/figure>New Delhi: Cybercriminals continued to exploit people's screen habits formed during lockdown to spread scams and ransomware was the top threat for Indians in 2021, followed by crypto scams, a new report showed on Wednesday.Cybersecurity<\/a> researchers observed a 38 per cent increase in ransomware attacks targeting consumers globally, when comparing the last five months of 2021 to the first five months of the year, whereas for India, that number stands at 65 per cent.
On the mobile side, adware and fleeceware were among the top threats, according to global security company Avast.
<\/div><\/div>\"The pandemic has changed nearly every aspect of everyone's lives, and that includes the cyberworld too,\" said Michal Salat, director of threat intelligence at Avast.
\"Attackers' methods are becoming more sophisticated. Cybercriminals are using techniques that make them harder to spot and carrying out more personalised cyber attacks. They are also adding new spins on tried and tested techniques, especially in social engineering type of attacks like scams,\" Salat added.
Businesses globally also experienced an increased number of attacks during the June-October period to the tune of 32 per cent.
However, for India, this number was less than the global average and stood at 19 per cent.
In general, phishing attacks continued to increase during 2021.
The chances of businesses encountering phishing scams has increased globally by 40 per cent in the last five months of the year but was much lower in India with 13 per cent.
\"Consumers, too, continue to be targeted by phishing scams with the increase in global (24 per cent) and India (23 per cent) figures being nearly the same,\" the report noted.
This year, a wide variety of new threats aimed at profiting from or mining cryptocurrencies at users' expenses were reported.

This year, a wide variety of new threats aimed at profiting from or mining cryptocurrencies at users' expenses were reported.
<\/div><\/div>Some of the main ones that impacted many countries around the world were Crackonosh, and BluStealer.
In addition to Crackonosh and BlueStealer, the researchers also found cryptocurrency-stealing malware that was distributed through HackBoss, a Telegram<\/a> channel which, at the time of discovery, had stolen over $560,000 from victims.
In September, the researchers found more than 19,300 Android<\/a> apps that potentially exposed user data due to an incorrect configuration of the Firebase database<\/a> -- an Android tool that developers can use with the purpose of storing user data.
This affected a wide range of different apps, including lifestyle, fitness, gaming, food delivery and mailing apps in regions around the world.
\"Cybercriminals kept up many of their tricks this year, using social engineering to spread malware to get their hands on people's money, abusing technology such as stalkerware to violate people's privacy or deceiving vulnerable audiences into paying for fleeceware apps or unneeded tech support,\" said Salat.
