Latin America is facing a surge in cyberattacks that has made it one of the riskiest regions for cybersecurity threats. Recent tactics include data-leak extortion, where attackers threaten to release sensitive information unless a ransom is paid, and credential-stealing campaigns aimed at gaining unauthorized access to user accounts. Additionally, there’s a rise in the exploitation of edge devices, which are often less secure and can serve as entry points for attackers. Researchers have noted that some attackers are even using artificial intelligence to enhance their methods. This increase in cyber threats not only puts businesses at risk but also endangers personal data for millions of users across the region, highlighting the urgent need for stronger cybersecurity measures.
