Over 50% of Indian web users came under cyberattack in 2023: Kaspersky

Cybersecurity company Kaspersky said in 2023, nearly two in five. i.e., 53% of the web users in India faced a form of internet born cyberattack. The Kaspersky Security Network report noted that cyberattacks via browsers and social engineering are the most prevalent methods of web infection.

Attacks via browsers remain the main way of spreading malicious programs. Kaspersky’s report showed that cybercriminals often exploit the vulnerabilities in browsers and their plugins to penetrate user systems. Users are usually attacked when they visit an infected website, which happens without the user’s knowledge and intervention and may involve the download of dangerous file-less malware.

Kaspersky’s report also revealed that social engineering is another major cyber threat in India and globally. In social engineering, the user is manipulated by the cybercriminal to download a malicious file and give control of the system to the criminal.
