Are you currently experiencing an attack?
This Attack of the Month report discusses a growing trend away from automated attacks, and towards direct human participation and orchestration of attacks.
Cybercrime has become an extremely lucrative industry. The large hacker groups are making millions of dollars per year. (According to the US Treasury, ransomware payments alone totaled $590 million in the first half of 2021.)
This has created two growing trends: first, a rising complexity of threats, because the hackers are hiring top programming talent. (Some advertise openly on job boards in Russia and other CIS countries.) Second, more human participation in cyberattacks, because they are also building teams of skilled operators for their attack tools.
