The growing threat of cyber crime to Australian retailers

With thousands of online transactions happening every day, Australian retailers have become a major target for cyber criminals. Due to the sheer volume of transactions and potential financial gains, nearly 24% of cyber attacks target retailers.

In 2020, it was estimated that of all the retail organisations attacked by cyber criminals, 54% had their data encrypted and locked away by ransomware, which is one of the most common kinds of cyber attacks experienced by retailers.

What makes retailers vulnerable to cyber attacks?

Here’s a look at why retailers tend to fall victim to cyber attacks so often:

Customer information

Retailers handle the personal and financial information of hundreds, sometimes thousands of customers daily. This makes them a much-preferred target for financially motivated cyber criminals.

Security cuts on e-commerce sites

Some customers aren’t fond of too many security measures affecting their user experience when using a retailer’s website. So, to boost customer satisfaction, many retailers tone down cyber security measures on their websites.

Supply chains

As retailers expand their network with more suppliers, their supply chain becomes more vulnerable to cyber attacks. This is usually due to some members of their supply chain lacking proper cyber security measures.

Employees lack cyber security training

For many retailers, cyber security and enterprise security awareness training for employees isn’t a priority. In most cases, adequate cyber security training is not carried out to cut costs.
