Cybercrime report reveals new opportunities and risks for EMEA in online channels
exisNexis Risk Solutions
L has released its biannual
Cybercrime Report , which tracks global cybercrime activity from January 2020 through June 2020 . The report dives deep into how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global digital economy , regional economies , industries , businesses and consumer behaviour . The period has seen strong transaction volume growth compared to 2019 but an overall decline in global attack volume . This is likely linked to growth in genuine customer activity due to changing consumer habits .
The LexisNexis Risk Solutions Cybercrime Report analyses data from more than 22.5 billion transactions processed by the LexisNexis Digital Identity Network , a 37 % growth year over year . Mobile device transactions also continue to rise , with 66 % of all transactions coming from mobile devices in the first half of 2020 , up from 20 % in early 2015 . The Digital Identity Network also notes an uptick in transactions from new devices and new digital identities . We attribute this to many new-to-digital consumers moving online to procure goods and services that were no longer available in person or harder to access via a physical store , during the pandemic .
The Europe , Middle East and Africa region ( EMEA ) saw lower overall attack rates in comparison to most other global regions from January through June 2020 . This is due to a high volume of trusted login transactions across relatively mature mobile apps .
