Which industries draw the most tracked threat-actor attention, by authored sector. Updated 2026-07-25.
Which economic sectors draw the most tracked threat-actor attention. Each count is the number of distinct actors we track whose reported targeting includes that sector. The sector labels are authored directly on each actor's target list, not derived from an industry code.

Source: our per-actor target-sector data, refreshed daily. Sectors follow the LSEG economic-sector taxonomy (TRBC), authored per actor. Actors whose targeting we cannot attribute to a sector are not counted, so this undercounts rather than invents.
A sector high on this list is one where a working
intrusion playbook already exists and is being reused. If your
organization sits in one, assume you are in-scope for a known method,
not a novel one.
