2023
A third of attacks on retailers led to a halt in sales
In 2023, a third of attacks on retailers led to a halt in sales. Positive Technologies reported this on April 1, 2024.
According to a study by Positive Technologies, Russian retailers and e-commerce companies were in the spotlight of hackers, entering the top 3 in terms of reports of stolen data and infrastructure access in the shadow market. At the same time, 80% of ads about Russian trading companies offer free distribution of stolen databases.
At the end of 2023, the share of incidents with theft of data from retailers and e-commerce companies increased to 74%. The main goal of cybercriminals is to obtain personal information of customers. Almost half (46%) of confidential information leaks contained this data.
 | We see several reasons for the large number of ads selling initial access to the infrastructure of retail companies, "said Anna Golushko, senior analyst at the Positive Technologies research group," first of all, outdated databases force cybercriminals to actively seek access to systems for fresh and more complete information. In addition, the constant development of the shadow market attracts new participants, including inexperienced hackers who specialize in gaining initial access and then selling it to more experienced attackers. |  |
On average, the cost of each second announcement for 2023 did not exceed $1000. However, amid geopolitical tensions, hacktivists give away stolen databases of Russian retailers and e-commerce for free.
Key techniques used by attackers to attack trading companies are malware infection (58%), exploitation of vulnerabilities (42%) and various social engineering methods (39%). Most often, hackers attack CMS systems (content management systems) used by online stores, which leads to theft of customer payment data and penetration into the company's infrastructure. These attacks not only undermine customer confidence, but can also cause serious damage to the reputation of companies and business as a whole. So, in 2023, a third of retailers around the world faced a halt in sales as a result of cyber attacks.
Positive Technologies experts believe that a large percentage of leaks are associated with an increase in the amount of information in companies, which often becomes uncontrollable. This causes problems with the inventory of the data infrastructure, its classification and control of access to them. Therefore, in retail and e-commerce, there is a need for a Data security platforms (DSPs) class solution that allows you to manage various types of data regardless of their structuring and location. This approach will build effective cybersecurity in industries that process large amounts of information.
