A quarter of cyber incidents reported to Australian security officials over the past year have targeted critical infrastructure and essential services, including health care, food distribution and energy.<\/p>\n

The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) will disclose the incidents in a report to be published on Wednesday, warning of \u201csignificant targeting, both domestically and globally, of essential services\u201d.<\/p>\n

These incidents have \u201cunderscored the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to significant disruption in essential services, lost revenue and the potential of harm or loss of life\u201d.<\/p>\n

The report will also show ransomware attacks disclosed to the ACSC increased 15% in the 2020-21 financial year, when compared with the previous financial year.<\/p>\n

The ACSC \u2013 which is part of the Australian Signals Directorate \u2013 received more than 67,500 reports of cybercrime of all types in 2020-21, or one every eight minutes.<\/p>\n

That compared with one every 10 minutes the previous year.<\/p>\n

The report says businesses, individuals and other entities had incurred more than $33bn in total losses from cyber crime throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Cybercriminals sought to exploit the pandemic by encouraging recipients to enter personal credentials to access Covid-related information or services, while unnamed foreign governments targeted the health sector seeking \u201caccess to intellectual property or sensitive information about Australia\u2019s response to Covid\u201d.<\/p>\n
