August 27, 2022

Known cyberattacks from April, May, and June 2022 on public institutions worldwide. Cases from Europe, North America and South America are listed.

• The statistics are based on the known incidents listed here.
• Since only some of the cases become known, the evaluations are not representative.
• Industries where incidents are immediately visible due to public access (e.g. healthcare) are more represented than others.
• An incident may be assigned to multiple countries or industries. Also, a country cannot always be assigned. So the totals shown on the charts may be different.
