The Initial Access Broker is the unsung hero of the criminal underground… and they want to keep it that way. For many ransomware gangs, accessing corporate networks to execute malware simply comes at a price, and a fairly low one typically. As seen in this article, access to a US company costs just $6000. These access brokers are often lone wolfs but sometimes are large operations conducting phishing operations on a daily basis, but no matter the size, they wish to stay out of the light. Once someone buys access, they are wise to wipe their hands clean and walk away. For a long time, they have stayed away from the attention of Law Enforcement, steadily gaining capital, experience, and making contacts in the underrealm seeking reputation for larger sales. Authorities have chased major ransomware operations like LockBit or Black Basta, but continuing to look further up the supply chain may help to dry to well and combat the endless stream of victims posted daily.

🥳🍾Good news in the war against cybercriminals! The FBI just took down the “911 S5” botnet; a zombie network of 19 million infected computers, perhaps the largest botnet in the world. Imagine you're a cybercriminal. Now, imagine you have control of 19 million computers, AND you can rent them to interested parties. 🤑💵💰 🖥 That’s what a botnet is, a huge network of computers secretly under the control of a cybercriminal(s). Those computers are infected with malware, then used to commit crimes without the owner’s knowledge. 😈 The person/people running the “911 S5” botnet built a tremendous network of infected computers. Then, they, rented this huge network of computers to cybercriminals for use in cyber crimes like cyber-attacks, large-scale fraud, child exploitation, and harassment. 🏆 SO, it's a BIG win for all of us that law enforcement was able to dismantle this massive botnet. Criminals can no longer use that network to commit crimes. Authorities seized 23 internet domains and more than 70 servers. The “911 S5” botnet’s alleged administrator was also arrested. 👮♂️🥂👮♀️ Big congratulations to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and their international partners https://lnkd.in/etJwkj5G #cybercrime #cybersecurity #securityawareness #informationsecurity #themoreyouknow

The FBI recently released its annual Internet Crime Report for 2023, based on complaints received by the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). The report paints a concerning picture of the cybersecurity landscape in the United States. With a record-breaking 880,418 cybercrime complaints filed in 2023, resulting in potential total losses that exceeded $12.5 billion, the need for a collective effort to strengthen national cybersecurity defenses is more critical than it’s ever been. The 880,418 complaints are a nearly 10 percent increase in complaints received, and the $12.5 billion represents a 22 percent increase in losses suffered, compared to 2022. As alarming as these figures appear to be, they are likely much higher in reality, as there are many victims of cybercrime that don’t report to authorities. For instance, in the FBI’s report, they cite the Hive ransomware group and the fact that about 20 percent of Hive’s victims reported their incidents to law enforcement. If that 20 percent number remained consistent across the board, that would mean that there were more than 4.4 million cyber incidents in the past year. That number is simply too high. #PelionCyberSecurity #CyberCrime #InternetSecurity #CyberThreats #DataBreach #CyberAwareness #InformationSecurity

The cybercrime organization, LockBit, might be fighting on its back foot. Fulton County, Georgia, faced a ransomware threat from the LockBit group, which claimed the county had paid a ransom to prevent the online publication of stolen internal documents. Despite LockBit's claims, Fulton County officials assert that no ransom was paid, either by the county or on its behalf. Security experts believe LockBit may have been bluffing, especially since the group's servers were recently seized by U.S. and U.K. law enforcement, potentially leading to the loss of stolen data. Regardless, this situation underscores two critical points: 1. County-level governments and organizations are vulnerable. This is not the first event in which a county was recently targeted and victimized. Prioritize your security. 2. Cybercriminals frequently extend their efforts beyond just the cyber realm. Social engineering, manipulation, and extortion are just some of the additional tactics they employ. #Cybersecurity #Leadership #Cyberattack #ShieldsUp https://lnkd.in/gsrD6X9V
