Global cyber security: List of ransomware & cyber attacks 2022

Who is affected? Which national & international companies were hit by cyber attacks? The following is an overview of known 2022 cases wordwide, with incidents from all continents: Africa, Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, Oceania. The number of unreported cases is likely to be very high, because many victims do not go public for fear of reputational damage.
Due to the large number of incidents, the list had to be split. This page contains the entries for the 2nd half of the year. For the details from the 1st half of 2022 see ...
