In 2022, 168 major databases of Russian companies entered the network. In total, the attackers published more than 2 billion records. Approximately 48 million lines (16%) contained passwords.
The majority of user data (64%) was compromised as a result of attacks on large companies, RIA Novosti reported with reference to a Kaspersky Lab study.
The leaders in terms of leaked information were retailers, with 14%, and delivery services, with 34%.
In 2023, according to the company’s forecasts, the number of leaks could increase by 20%. At the same time, attackers may still be interested in the retail sector, which historically stores huge amounts of information.
Alexander Alkhimov, head of the MTS Digital Advertising and Information Center product portfolio, told RB.RU what companies should do to prevent information leakage through mail programs.
