UAE faces 33,000 cyberattacks in 6 months
Gulf Today
|August 28, 2025
The United Arab Emirates recorded 33,165 cyberattacks in the first half of 2025, with some campaigns lasting more than three hours-the longest durations anywhere in the Middle East.
These prolonged attacks carry outsized consequences for the UAE's role as a regional financial hub and innovation leader. Strikes lasting over 200 minutes risk downtime in banking, e-commerce, and smart city platforms, undermining the reliability on which the Emirates’ digital economy depends.
The report also found attack peaks of 434 Gbps, among the most intense in the region. Taken together, the UAE is not only a frequent target but also the testing ground for new “patience-driven” tactics, where attackers prioritize persistence over speed.
