Cybercrime in Spain - statistics & facts
Accounting for over one in six registered criminal offenses in Spain, cybercrime has become an increasing threat to citizens, companies, and authorities. The country now ranks second worldwide to be most targeted by spam or malicious mailshots, fourth with the most users affected by data breaches on their online accounts, and sixth in terms of most companies experiencing cyberattacks. With an impact of almost 50 billion U.S. dollars annually, Spanish citizens and companies struggle to avert the growing number of online threats, while national courts face an increasing workload dealing with a threat that sees little chance of reducing its local and worldwide upward trend.
