A draw of good things came with the evolution of the internet close to the globe. However, As the saying goes, every coin has 2 sides, the internet also has its pros and cons, the cons being the cyberattacks carried out by hacking groups or individual hackers. Well, we hear of new cyberattacks every other week, merely if you were questioning which countries are the all but vulnerable to cyberattaks, well, NordVPN recently revealed with their new research, the countries are most vulnerable to cyberattacks.

NordVPN recently collaborated with the business data provider, Statista to pile up its Cyber Lay on the line Index. Therein index, the VPN party listed 50 countries according to their cybercrime vulnerability. Statista was responsible for collecting all the leading data from these 50 countries. NordVPN and then analyzed the information to create the index.

Now, according to the research, a country is most assailable to cyberattacks when to the highest degree of its population has an online presence. The more the list of people online, the more is the risk of infection of a cyberattack.

"Cybercriminals preceptor't looking for victims, they seem for opportunities — much like pickpockets in jam-packed places. Spend enough time in a jammed bus, and a pickpocket will 'accidentally' bump into you. Same floor online. Your cyber risk increases with every superfluous hour online." , same Daniel Markuson, a digital seclusion expert at NordVPN.

So, according to the forefinger, developed countries like the US, the UAE, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland are most vulnerable to cyber risks. While less developed countries like Nigeria, South Africa, and Indonesia are safer.

Now, in the encase of India, the Cyber Risk Power found that the country is one of the least under attack countries amongst all. This is because most of the population of the country (almost two-thirds) do not have an cyberspace connection and a very small portion of the whole population owns a smartphone. So, less time washed-out on the internet agency lesser chances of cyberattacks. However, India was still among the top nations to experience ransomware attacks back in 2022.

So, Markuson points out that Indians who do have the internet spend very much of their fourth dimension online. This amounts to more than an hour thirster than average. So, this increases the risk of cyberattacks on these people WHO generally sleep in metro cities and earn high wages.
