Editor's Message

Welcome to DBD. Cybercrime made global headlines in 2025. Attacks on well-known brands and organisations raised public awareness of the severity, frequency and impact of cyber attacks. Ransomware attacks were the highest ever recorded, and 2026 could be worse, as cyber criminals continue to extort their victims, with little chance of being brought to justice. It's a dangerous world out there, so please be extra vigilant and mindful of the risks and threats. Wishing you all the best for the New Year. Thanks again for all your support. Stay safe. :)


“Data Breaches Digest and its PRiSM portal provide Dentons Global Security Team with valuable insights into the ransomware landscape, from the latest incidents to trends over time, as well as the ability to customize visual analytics. Timely reports and tracking by Data Breaches Digest help inform cyber intelligence for the world’s largest law firm and thus our cybersecurity posture across more than 80 countries worldwide.”
