ACTIVE ADVERSARY MULTIPLE ATTACKERS REPORT

In recent months, we’ve noticed an uptick in the number of cases where
organizations have been attacked multiple times. Some attacks take place
simultaneously; others are separated by a few days, weeks, or months. Some
involve different kinds of malware, or double – even triple – infections of the
same type. 


SOPHOS 2023 THREAT REPORT

The cybercriminal economy has increasingly transformed into an industry.
Information technology companies have shifted to “as-a-service” offerings, and
the cybercrime ecosystem has done the same. Access brokers, ransomware,
information-stealing malware, malware delivery, and other elements of cybercrime
operations have lowered barriers to entry for would-be cybercriminals.


CYBERTHREATS: A 20-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE

In security we spend a lot of time trying to decipher the future. Where’s the
next technology breakthrough? What are cybercriminals going to do next?




AN INSIDER VIEW INTO THE INCREASINGLY COMPLEX KINGMINER BOTNET

Kingminer is an opportunistic botnet that keeps quiet and flies under the radar.
The operators are ambitious and capable, but don’t have endless resources – they
use any solution and concept that is freely available, getting inspiration from
public domain tools as well as techniques used by APT groups.


MYKINGS: THE SLOW BUT STEADY GROWTH OF A RELENTLESS BOTNET

The botnet known as MyKings wields a wide range of automated methods to break
into servers – all just to install cryptocurrency miners.


CLOUD SNOOPER ATTACK BYPASSES AWS SECURITY MEASURES

An investigation into an attack against a cloud computing server reveals an
unusual and innovative way for malware to communicate through Amazon’s firewalls
