Manufacturing remains among the most targeted industries by cyberattacks. Among the most significant attacks in this sector, in terms of monetary losses, was the 2023 Clorox attack, where the company lost around 356 million U.S. dollars due to decline in sales, based on lower production volumes due to the attack. Another big hack involved a business partner of semiconductor giant Applied Materials, which cost the company 250 million U.S. dollars.
