As of right now, the United States is one of the largest targets for attacks on the business aspects of things. Because of the different benefits the US brings, it makes it a very open spot for many attacks to counter on. Many companies within the US keep their systems online and updates every time online. making it easier for hackers to get there hands on. Mainly because its online, its been creating a huge role for phishing attacks to happen. COVID played a huge roll with things being put online, and as it stands it opened up many chances for informations to be leaked out because of it. Many people here in the United States believe that most of the hacks we get are foreign based from Russia or China. Recently from looking up research, the US is only ranked fifth for being secure in cyber security. Even though its pretty high up there we are still a main target for many other countries to come after. Many countries in the middle such as Iraq have very different rankings when it comes to cybersecurity. Iraq is still considered a developing country, but it still creates middle rankings when it comes to attacks to there networks. Many of there attacks have been from other surrounding countries trying to infiltrate information out of there government. Iraq also has groups of hackers that receive state sponsorship. They also have them serve within the military. These attacks have been going on for years, but the Iraqi government continues to do them. Attacks in these times of countries are praised for what they find as a way to find more information of a specific group or country. Iraq is usually in contest with neighboring countries and to fight for dominance within the Middle Eastern countries. Which plays a roll for why they are least likely to be getting attacked like it is for the US.
