The NCSC in collaboration with allies from around the world have released a list of those cyber vulnerabilities that were the most exploited by threat actors last year.
NCSC and allies reveal most common cyber vulnerabilities exploited in 2022 – NCSC
There are two main trends in the report:
- threat actors are tending to exploit older vulnerabilities, seeking out those that don’t patch ASAP
- half of the vulnerabilities in the 2022 report also appeared in the 2021 report.
Defend against those six and your cyber security will just be better.
The report is here:
