Overall observations
In April 2023, 63 cyber operations were recorded in the EuRepoC database. This is 28.41% less than the previous month, but still 15 operations (31.25%) more than the overall monthly average activity of 48 cyber operations.
The average intensity of operations recorded in April 2023 is 2.81, which is higher than the historical average (2.7). The striking increase in operations since February 2023 can also be explained primarily by the fact that, from March 2023 onwards, EuRepoC is recording all cyber attacks against critical infrastructure targets and no longer makes inclusion contingent on whether these activities are linked to political or governmental threat actors or victims.
