Just as criminal acts have never been disrupted in the history of human society, attacks in cyberspace (hereinafter, cyberattacks) are not likely to be disrupted. Rather, cyberattacks are expanding their targets and sophisticating their techniques. This report provides an overview of the global trends of cyberattacks in recent years, and details the trends of indiscriminate cyberattacks based on the observation of the large-scale cyberattack monitoring and analysis system NICTER. In addition, this report introduces the current status of infected IoT devices and a notification act in Japan called NOTICE.
