Cybersecurity: Last year was a record year for attacks, and Log4j made it worse

Cybersecurity firm Check Point Research reported a 50% increase in cyberattacks on corporate networks in 2021 compared to 2020, with education, government, and healthcare sectors being the most targeted. The Log4J vulnerability discovered in December contributed significantly to this rise. The firm also noted that organizations in Africa experienced the highest rate of attacks, followed by the APAC region, Latin America, Europe, and North America.
