A recent report by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) highlights a significant rise in cyber espionage, linking multiple incidents to state-sponsored actors, primarily from China and Russia. Notably, the hacking campaign “Salt Typhoon,” linked to China’s Ministry of State Security, has affected several European nations. The report also identified ransomware as the most pressing threat across the EU, overshadowing the state-backed espionage issue, with distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks being the most frequent type of cyber incident. This trend underscores the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures and international cooperation among nations, including India, to counter growing cyber threats and protect critical infrastructure from such malicious activities.
