The 2022 edition of the Cybersecurity in Portugal - Risks and Conflicts Report analyses the main cybersecurity incidents and cybercrime indicators, as well as the threat actors, in cyberspace of national interest and the major national and international trends. Regarding the most frequent criminality based on the registry of denunciations to the Cybercrime Office, of the General Prosecutor of the Republic, in 2020 and 2021, hate crimes occupied respectively the 10th and 11th position. The Report also informs that, in the Platform for Reporting Illegal Content of the Portuguese Association for Victim Support, in the years 2020 and 2021, the reported hate speech were respectively 216 and 380, corresponding to 28% and 33% of the total records.
