Kaspersky Reports Over 33,300 Cyber Attacks on SMEs in 2026

Kaspersky reported over 33,300 cyber attacks targeting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from January to April 2026. This figure represents a nearly fivefold increase compared to the same period in 2025, with attackers using malware disguised as popular AI services. The data highlights a growing threat to SMEs, which often lack the resources to adequately protect their systems. The use of sophisticated malware indicates a shift in attackers' strategies, targeting vulnerabilities in less protected systems.
