Cyber threat activity in Brazil has increased, according to a report from the World Economics Forum. It is suggested that the rise is, in part, due to the Olympics in Rio, but also potentially because cyber attacks only rank 23rd on Brazil's table of global risks measured by Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs, in contrast to the US, Japan, and Germany where cyber attack risk tops the tables of business concerns. The volume of malicious domain names and URLs in Brazil is also on the rise - up 83% in June compared to the average of 16% in the rest of the world.
