Allianz: Attackers Shift From Large Firms to Easier Targets

🛡️ Allianz warns that cybercriminals are increasingly shifting focus from well‑defended large organizations to smaller, less secure firms and to regions beyond the US and Europe. The insurer's Cyber report says customer losses in H1 2025 were about half those in H1 2024, even as active ransomware groups may have risen by roughly 50%. Double extortion and data theft now account for a growing share of large losses, and attackers often exploit third‑party IT providers to reach hardened targets.
