Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have become a desired target for many hackers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the data presented by the Atlas VPN team, phishing and web-based attacks were the most common among Europe’s small and medium enterprises last year.
Phishing attacks were the most popular as 41% of SMEs claimed to have experienced such a threat. This type of attack has become extremely popular due to remote work.
The second most common type of attack was web-based – 40% of SMEs were affected by it. Next up, 39% of SMEs suffered from a general malware attack.

However, that is precisely what hackers search for, as they can get quick money with a ransomware threat from lesser secured SMEs.
