👾 The rising tide of cyberthreat Kaspersky → shares with Durov's Code insights on threats shaping cybersecurity in 2024. According to Kaspersky's analysis, the number of online threats caused by vulnerabilities in web pages, emails or web services varies significantly across the region. Turkey has the highest number of users affected by online threats (41.8%), followed by Kenya (39.2%), Qatar (38.8%) and South Africa (35%). When looking at the threat landscape in the United Arab Emirates, Kaspersky’s analytics showed that the number of overall cyberthreats in the country decreased by 20% in 2023 as compared to 2022. At the same time, there was a 44% increase in the number of spyware attacks, where malware infiltrates a user's computer to collect and transmit data to third parties. And backdoor attacks, which allow users to bypass security and gain high-level access, increased by 55%.

As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, cyber threats continue to become diverse and sophisticated. This trend is particularly evident due to the emergence of advanced technologies like AI and the escalating geopolitical and economic turbulence within the META region. These factors collectively contribute to the surge in cybercrime and the heightened complexity of cyberattacks,
