The World Economic Forum had noted that the complex systems and technologies being used by the oil sector made it increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks.
The new report noted that healthcare and social assistance ranked first, with 472 breaches, public administration ranked second, with 162 breaches, and educational services ranked third, with 137 breaches. About1,335 attacks were reportedly tracked by the firm last year, a development which is 26.8 percent less than the 1,825 incidents it tracked during the same period a year earlier.
