Latin American Orgs Face 40% More Attacks Than Global Average

Latin America is experiencing rapidly accelerating cyber threats, with organizations averaging 2,569 attacks per week—roughly 40% above the global average. The report attributes the surge to financially motivated criminal groups exploiting weaker cybersecurity postures and rapid fintech adoption (notably banking app Pix), highlights banking malware families like Grandoreiro and Coyote, and warns that cooperation between cartels and cybercriminals plus uneven law enforcement and regulatory responses are amplifying regional risk.
