A new report by Acronis, a global cybersecurity firm, reveals that India has become the top target for malware attacks worldwide. The alarming rise is largely attributed to the increasing use of AI-driven ransomware, marking a dangerous shift toward more advanced, adaptive, and difficult-to-detect cyber threats.
The report highlights that cybercriminals are leveraging artificial intelligence to automate phishing campaigns, bypass security protocols, and launch ransomware attacks that evolve in real time. This trend places Indian businesses, government agencies, and digital infrastructure at greater risk, with malware infection rates now outpacing global averages.
India’s rapid digital transformation, high internet penetration, and often underprepared cybersecurity frameworks make it a prime target for cyberattacks. Experts are calling for immediate investment in AI-powered cybersecurity solutions, employee training, and robust national defense mechanisms to mitigate the growing threat.
With cyberattacks becoming more intelligent and frequent, the report signals an urgent wake-up call for Indian organizations to bolster their cyber resilience. As AI in cybersecurity becomes both a tool for defense and exploitation, the need for proactive strategies has never been more critical.
