226 cases of damage from ransomware attacks in 2025, including Asahi Group Holdings
Phishing scams grew to a record high of over 2,450,000 cases in 2025.
South_Korea HIGH South Korea experiences a rising number of cybersecurity breaches, driven by AI-powered threats and sophisticated North Korea-linked APT activity targeting critical sectors.
2,383 cybersecurity breaches reported in 2025, a 26% increase from 2024
North Korea-linked actors increasingly use AI-powered deepfake spear-phishing campaigns against military and diplomatic targets.
North_Korea CRITICAL North Korea remains a critical state-sponsored threat actor, actively engaging in sophisticated cyber warfare, including AI-powered deepfake campaigns and financial sector targeting.
North Korea-linked actors increasingly use AI-powered deepfake techniques in spear-phishing campaigns against military and diplomatic targets
The "Korean Leaks" hybrid cyber operation in September 2025 devastated South Korea's financial sector via a managed service provider breach.
Taiwan CRITICAL Taiwan is a frontline digital battleground facing sustained state-sponsored pressure and a high volume of daily cyber intrusion attempts, particularly targeting critical infrastructure.
Critical infrastructure endured an average of 2.63 million cyber-intrusion attempts daily in 2025, a 6% increase from the previous year
Incidents targeting the energy sector increased tenfold in 2025, often coordinated with Chinese military exercises.
Philippines HIGH The Philippines faces an unprecedented surge in cyber threats, marked by high supply chain vulnerabilities, large-scale data breaches, and a significant number of compromised user accounts.
100% of organizations in the Philippines experienced cybersecurity incidents linked to supply chain vulnerabilities
Data breaches rose by 49% in Q3 2025, exposing over 52 million credentials.
Vietnam MEDIUM Vietnam, like many rapidly digitalizing APAC nations, faces an evolving threat landscape with a focus on opportunistic attacks and increasing sophistication.
Cyber-scam techniques such as phishing have emerged as widespread and financially damaging forms of cybercrime across the Asia-Pacific region.
Indonesia CRITICAL Indonesia is experiencing an alarming surge in cyberattacks, with billions of incidents recorded, primarily malware-driven and targeting government and financial sectors.
Indonesia recorded around 5.5 billion cyberattacks throughout 2025, a 714% jump compared to the annual average across 2020–2024
Malware-driven attacks accounted for 93.8% of traffic anomalies through September 2025.
Singapore HIGH As a regional hub, Singapore faces a dense threat mix with high APT activity, significant data breaches, and ransomware targeting its critical infrastructure and financial services.
APT activity in Singapore is running nearly 1.4 times the Asia-Pacific country average
Singapore disclosed a state-linked cyber espionage campaign targeting its critical infrastructure in 2025.
Thailand HIGH Thailand is a prime target for cybercriminals, experiencing a high volume of attacks, significant data breaches, and a massive increase in leaked credentials.
Organizations in Thailand faced an average of 3,201 cyberattacks per week in the first half of 2025, 164% higher than the global average
5 million usernames and passwords were leaked in 2025, a 6,250% increase from 2024.
Malaysia MEDIUM Malaysia is an emerging target for ransomware and has reported a substantial increase in cyber incidents, particularly against its government.
Malaysia overtook India and Thailand to become the top-targeted country globally for ransomware in January 2026
The country reported a substantial increase in cyber incidents targeting its government in 2025.
Myanmar MEDIUM Myanmar faces evolving cyber threats common to developing nations in the region, including opportunistic cybercrime and potential state-sponsored activities.
Jurisdictions with fragmented enforcement structures, limited technical capabilities, and weaker legislation remain particularly vulnerable to exploitation.
Cambodia MEDIUM Cambodia's rapidly digitalizing environment presents an expanding attack surface, making it susceptible to common cybercrime tactics like phishing and malware.
Cyber-scam techniques such as phishing have emerged as the most widespread and financially damaging form of cybercrime across the Asia-Pacific region.
Mongolia LOW While specific recent incidents are less reported, Mongolia faces general cyber threats associated with increasing digitalization and regional cybercrime trends.
The overall cyber threat landscape in the Asia-Pacific region is intensifying alongside unprecedented growth in internet connectivity.
Brunei LOW Brunei maintains a relatively lower profile in reported cyber incidents, but its digital transformation efforts necessitate vigilance against regional and global cyber threats.
Many developing countries and small island states in the region continue to face significant resource and capacity constraints in cybersecurity.
Sector Threat Matrix
Government
HIGH
The government sector is the most frequently targeted in APAC, facing persistent probing by state-sponsored actors for espionage and disruption.
  • APT activity (espionage, pre-positioning in critical infrastructure)
  • Data breaches (exfiltration of sensitive information).
Finance & Banking
CRITICAL
Asia Pacific's financial institutions are the most targeted globally for cyberattacks, experiencing high volumes of DDoS, API vulnerabilities, and ransomware.
  • DDoS attacks (application-layer and network-layer)
  • API vulnerabilities and supply chain attacks.
Energy & Utilities
HIGH
The energy and utilities sector faces increased targeting, particularly for industrial control system probing and ransomware, posing risks to critical infrastructure.
  • Industrial control system (ICS) exploitation
  • Ransomware (operational disruption).
Telecommunications
HIGH
Telecommunications infrastructure is a critical target for service disruption and strategic intelligence collection, often through supply chain compromises and DDoS attacks.
  • DDoS attacks (service disruption)
  • Supply chain compromises (access to broader networks).
Defense & Military
CRITICAL
The defense and military sector is a primary target for state-sponsored APTs, facing sophisticated espionage campaigns, including AI-powered deepfake spear-phishing.
  • APT espionage (intelligence gathering)
  • AI-powered deepfake spear-phishing (social engineering).
Healthcare
HIGH
The healthcare sector is heavily targeted, especially in Southeast Asia, with ransomware and data breaches posing direct risks to patient safety and public health.
  • Ransomware (data extortion, operational paralysis)
  • Data breaches (theft of sensitive medical data).
Technology
HIGH
The technology sector is a frequent target due to its role in global supply chains and holds valuable intellectual property, making it susceptible to APT activity and supply chain attacks.
  • Supply chain attacks (software/hardware compromise)
  • Intellectual property theft (espionage).
