FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 
 

Boston, Massachusetts. (October 30, 2024) Frances M. Lynch, CEO of THC Technologies Corporation, a private corporation engaged in the global biometrics solutions market, today stated, “A new report by Blackberry with which THC concurs reveals that cyber threat actors target entities in the United States more than any other country in the world. 

The Blackberry  report (link below)  features a “top list” of countries most often on the receiving end of cyberattacks: five countries that receive the most cyber-attacks overall, and five countries most often targeted with unique, never-seen-before malware variants.

The Blackberry report states these cyberattacks focus on targeting government agencies, military organizations, businesses, and financial institutions, frequently adapting their techniques to make their attacks harder to detect and defend against.

One organization historically appears vulnerable to such attacks. Just a few months ago Microsoft confirmed that a cybercriminal gained access to unclassified government Microsoft email accounts as part of a campaign that affected about 25 organizations, including federal agencies. The hackers used Microsoft's Outlook Web Access in Exchange Online and Outlook.com to access the unclassified email accounts.
