Furthermore, Spain is the third most hacked state in the world. According to the Industrial Cybersecurity Center of Gipuzkoa, Ziur, more than 13 million computers are used for cyber attacks worldwide.
93 103 shifts IT systems and servers in the Basque Autonomous Community (CAV) are currently likely to suffer a cyber attack, as warned by the Industrial Cybersecurity Center of Gipuzkoa, Ziur. Moreover, Spain is the third most hacked state in the world, and its geopolitical positioning in the war in Ukraine has a lot to do with that.
The work of this center has been fundamental since its creation five years ago. The Cybersecurity Center’s latest report for the third quarter of this year reveals worrying data. More than 13 million of the world’s computers are currently being used for cyber attacks without the owner’s knowledge.
According to the latest Ziur report, Spain has suffered from a “unprecedented” impact of hackers. In addition, the arrest of members of a network of 70 pro-Russian hackers “which have seriously compromised cybersecurity in Spain.”
The document also shows that “the main vulnerability identified, known as ‘Freak’allows an attacker to decrypt secure communications between clients and vulnerable servers, severely compromising the organization’s cybersecurity.”
Similarly, the Cyber Intelligence Report also warns about the campaigns of a Chinese group against the transport, logistics, technology and automotive sectors Spain, United Kingdom, Italy, Turkiye, Taiwan and Thailandand another one from phishing against the mining and manufacturing sectors, both historically relevant in the BAC and, specifically, the latter in Gipuzkoa.
Ziur granted more than 1.4 million euros to the industrial companies of Gipuzkoa in their five years of existence, because, they assure, “protecting the industry is equal to protecting our competitiveness.” last year 6990 Gipuzkoan companies suffered a cyber incident, a figure that is “increasing,” according to Ziur director María Penilla.
It is now possible to proactively detect threats and provide a “faster and more automated” response, but the AI It has also made it easier for cybercriminals to carry out “more massive and effective” attacks, so Ziur must “strengthen its support to companies to adapt their protocols and investments in cybersecurity to defend themselves against a phenomenon that will increase,” he concluded.
