Figure 12: Most Targeted Industries in Consumer Cyclicals 2022 vs 2023

As is to be expected based on the provided justifications for threat actors favouring these sectors, the most targeted have remained largely the same with just a few minor fluctuations.

In first place we have Hotels & Entertainment Services with 134 attacks (19% of the total), followed by Specialty Retailers with 128 cases (18% of the total), and finally followed by Homebuilding & Construction Supplies in third place with 98 cases (14% of the total).

NCC Group do not foresee a major shift in the top three most targeted industries within this sector in 2024 due to their attractiveness to extortive threat actors.
