APAC countries were a bit
unusual when it came to
overall metrics.
While attacks targeting Japan grew 229 percent, both max
attack size and throughput dropped significantly—48 percent
and 84 percent, respectively. China, meanwhile, saw only a
25 percent drop in attack frequency, while max throughput
dropped 51 percent.
But when it comes to top vertical industry targets—
ecommerce, education, cloud services, and healthcare—
the COVID-era attacker mantra held true. Attacks on
ecommerce increased by 191 percent, with high-throughput
campaigns proving particularly popular—a 154 percent
increase. Meanwhile, attack size and throughput for hospitals
grew by 98 percent and 100 percent, respectively.
