The Verizon 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report indicates that organized criminal groups were behind 55 percent of breaches, and 86 percent of breaches were financially motivated. (Note that Verizon points out that their use of the term “organized crime” refers to a criminal with a process and not necessarily the mafia.)
