In this YouTube short, the speaker highlights two alarming developments in cybersecurity. First, cyberattacks now cost society an estimated $20 billion every day, a figure far higher than commonly cited annual totals. Second, the nature of the threat has shifted: attacks are no longer dominated by nation‑state actors such as Russia, but are increasingly carried out by smaller, independent cybercrime groups that can inflict damage comparable to state‑sponsored campaigns. The speaker illustrates this shift with the September 2025 ransomware attack on Jaguar Land Rover, which was executed by a small independent group rather than a nation‑state, underscoring how accessible high‑impact cyber‑offensives have become.

Just 2 things that really shock me and that I read recently. The first one is that cyberattacks cost society $20 billion daily, not a year, but daily. And the incredible thing and what is really happening, and we were just talking just now with Max before starting the event, is that the nature of the attack has gone from really domain state actors, like we were seeing like Russia or could be other countries, really independent global teams. So it is now unfortunately easier to promote cyberattacks and individual teams can now create damages that used to be before only available to big and organized state actors. And this is exactly what happened with Jaguar Land Rover. I'm sure that many of you are familiar with the fact that in September this year, 2025, Jaguar Land Rover suffered a massive ransomware attack. Which was perpetrated by a small independent group. It was not launched by a nation.
