💰 The True Cost //
As Durov’s Code has learnt from Kaspersky, globally the average cost for access to corporate systems is in the range from $2,000 to $4,000, and in the Middle East, Turkey and Africa the average price for access to corporate infrastructure is $2,100.
This is relatively inexpensive compared to the possible damage to the targeted business. One of the ways can be infecting user devices (personal or corporate ones) with a data stealer. According to Kaspersky, the number user accounts stolen in this way n 2021-2022 amounted to more than one million in Saudi Arabia, 970,000 in Egypt and 540,000 in the UAE.
