Exploits Targeting Corporate Users Surged Nearly 30% In 2016

A new report from Kaspersky Lab this week holds some mixed news for individuals and organizations on a couple of fronts. Attacks against individual users decreased nearly 21% last year, but corporate users jumped sharply from 540,000 in 2015 to 690,000 last year. Over 702 million attacks with exploits in 2016, a substantial 25% increase over 2015. The Stuxnet LNK flaw that was most targeted in 2016 was the vulnerability that was exploited in the cyber attack on Irans nuclear enrichment facility in Natanz.”]
