In 2018, Nigeria-based cybercrime jumped 54 percent over the previous year, as groups of scammers expanded their operations adding new tactics and reaching a wider breadth of targets.
The increase, outlined in a report released Thursday by Palo Alto Network’s Unit 42, shows that Nigerian scammers continue to launch attacks at an alarming rate.

"[...] These actors predominately rely on email to distribute their malware with the most targeted industries being: High Tech, Wholesale, Manufacturing, Education and Professional/Legal Services.”
New Threats
Nigerian cybercrime groups are turning to from more traditional information stealing malware samples to Remote Administration Tools (RAT).
That signals a shift to more RATs, which saw a 36 percent increase, researchers said.
