Verizon Data Breach Report 2021: Pandemic Has Caused Major Surge in
Phishing, Ransomware and Web App Attacks

By Scott Ikeda

Verizon's data breach report for 2021 frames the degree to which the
pandemic has influenced cyber criminal activity, with the focus
shifting strongly toward work-at-home infrastructure. 39% of all data
breaches in 2020 stemmed from web application compromise, and both
phishing and ransomware incidents jumped significantly from 2019. One
thing has not changed, however - human negligence continues to be the
leading cause of security breaches.
