A major purpose for which the hackers do these data breaches is to sell the personal information of the victims, the personal information stolen can be further used for identity theft, used for extortion and other such purposes. The increasing awareness about data security and privacy amongst the customers of different data driven platforms is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.

The advent of COVID-19 had a positive impact on the global counter surveillance market since the pandemic brought the industrial activities and other operations on a digital platform making it easier for the hackers to access the data. The sudden change of business operations worldwide from a physical platform to a digital one during the pandemic owing to the strict protocols being set by the governments across several countries has created more security vulnerabilities which has led to a rapid increase in the data attacks during the pandemic. According to a report done by Interpol’s private sector partner, about 907,000 spam messages, 737 incidents related to malware and 48,000 malicious URLs – all related to COVID-19 were detected during a four month period of January to April. This has given rise to more number of companies and individuals opting for counter surveillance solutions. The increased dependency of the people around the world on online platforms has created several opportunities for hackers to attack, track and steal. The distribution of the key COVID-19 inflicted cyberthreats based on member countries’ feedback depicted, 22% malicious domains, 36% malware/ransomware, about 14% fake news and 59% phishing, scam and fraud.
