Check Point and related sources report that Latin America has become the most heavily targeted region for cyberattacks (about 3,100 threats per week), driven largely by email-based phishing campaigns that lead to ransomware, infostealers, banking malware and botnets; healthcare, financial services and education are among the most targeted sectors, and regional security maturity gaps and supply-chain incidents (e.g., the C&M Software breach and subsequent Dragonforce activity) are cited as enabling higher impact and scale.
