Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team constantly monitors known and emerging cyberthreats directed at the financial industry, with banks and fintech companies being the most targeted. Kaspersky researchers also closely follow threats that aim to infiltrate a wider range of industries, namely ransomware families that are financially motivated.
