Hosting the Cybercrime Atlas in the World Economic Forum creates the space to experiment with how we enable disruption collaborations - giving the Cybercrime Atlas participants access to the expertise and ideas of the Forums' Partnership Against Cybercrime community. This was a turning point as it answered one of the first questions posed by the Cybercrime Atlas community: can we create new and actionable intelligence relying on open-source information and, by working collectively, can we build insights that match or exceed those created by the community members working in isolation? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding "Yes".

A new study by Critical Insight shows that cybersecurity attacks in the health care sector are hitting more individuals and finding vulnerabilities in third-party partners. A new study by cybersecurity firm Critical Insight noted that while the sheer number of breaches against health care facilities is actually down, there is a spike in the number of people who have been affected by attacks as well as an increase in supply chain and third-party targets.
The maximum attack power rose from 600 to 800 Gbps. UDP flood attacks were most common and amounted to 52% of total attacks, while SYN flood accounted for 24%. In third place was TCP flood. In 2021, the capacity of DDoS attacks was up to 300 Gbps. In 2022, the attack capacity was about 650 Gbps. In Q1-Q2 of 2023, we see a capacity of about 800 Gbps.
