Malware and vulnerabilities dominated the July cyber weather

Several extensive ransomware targeted at both large and small enterprises in Finland and in other countries gained attention in July. A great number of vulnerabilities were also found. Vulnerabilities are exploited rapidly in targeted attacks, which is why it is important to install updates quickly also during summer. In addition, the EU has taken the first ever active counter-measures concerning cyber attacks directed against the EU member states and imposed sanctions against six individuals and three entities.
