Vietnam leads SE Asia with 8.4 million web cyberattacks on businesses in 2025: Kaspersky

Kaspersky said it detected and blocked more than 18 million malicious cyber incidents aimed at organizations across Southeast Asia during the year.

Vietnam recorded more than 8.43 million web threat detections, followed by Malaysia with over 3.36 million incidents and Indonesia with more than three million.

Organizations in Thailand and Singapore each faced more than one million web-based cyberattacks in 2025.

Web threats include compromised websites, malicious downloads and other online attack methods that can lead to unauthorized system access and data leaks.

Adrian Hia, Kaspersky's Asia-Pacific managing director, said the firm observed a sharp increase in such threats in Singapore and Vietnam, adding that both countries have strengthened cybersecurity policies and compliance in recent years, prompting more organizations to reinforce their defenses.

The data reflect the growing scale of digital activity in the region, where the digital economy is valued at about US$300 billion and is projected to reach $1 trillion by 2030, according to the World Economic Forum.
