The overall number of financial malware attacks on corporate users in Kenya has hit 29.3 per cent. Kaspersky in a statement on Wednesday said the number was a decrease from the first half of 2020. Enterprise Sales Manager at Kaspersky in Africa Bethwel Opil said the percentage is out of 7, 962 attacks recorded in the country. When looking at such statistics, we believe it is evident that cybercriminals are more commonly targeting unsuspecting corporate users,” Opil said. Opil said organisations in Kenya have become susceptible to financial malware as more employees work outside the relative safety of the corporate network.
