Wolfpack Information Risk’s Post

My journey at Group-IB began as a Cybercrime Investigator, where our commitment to incident response and investigations is ingrained in our DNA. Over the past 12 months alone, we've been actively involved in public international operations like #SYNERGIA, AFRICA CYBER SURGE II, #16SHOP, #NERVONE (aka #OPERA1ER), Action Against Digital Skimming collaborating with #Interpol, #Afripol, #Europol and law enforcement agencies across multiple countries. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Today, I'm thrilled to invite the cybersecurity community to join us in our mission to #FightAgainstCybercrime and support law enforcement efforts worldwide. As community and business leaders, it's imperative that we shift away from outdated approaches and work hand-in-hand to mitigate the growing cyber threats. To showcase the effectiveness of proactive measures in preventing cyber attacks and bolstering business security, we've launched the TOP Investigations Project. Through this initiative, we'll share success stories of collaboration with police forces and their impact on businesses globally. Starting with 5 compelling stories on #phishing, #ddos, and #blackmail investigations, we're eager to demonstrate the tangible outcomes of our efforts. 🔗https://lnkd.in/g47a4svn Let's dispel any doubts - cyber threats can be stopped. Follow us and join the fight! Together, let's protect people and companies from cybercrime. #cybercrime #investigation #interpol #afripol #europol

Kaspersky and Zambia Partner to Combat Rising Cyber Threats. Discussions between Kaspersky and Zambia's Ministry of Science and Technology highlighted efforts to combat cybercrime locally and internationally.

Cyber threats continue to evolve, making global resilience more critical than ever. The Beyond 125 Action Plan emphasises the need to build national capacities, foster international collaboration and empower communities to tackle growing threats in cyberspace. TAG contributes to these goals through education, policy alignment and technical capability building in developing world states experiencing frequent strategic cyberattack, helping to keep the internet safe, open and secure environment for all.

Here's the report from Alex Samm and myself where we've documented all our research on Ransomware attacks for 2023 in the CARICOM and Caribbean Regions and also included attacks on Canadian organizations for comparison. Information on attacks in CARICOM and Caribbean nations and islands is very difficult to obtain (if any exists at all) and we have decided to share this information with other researchers and the public. The names of organizations are not disclosed but the groups responsible and the sectors affected are listed for each affected country within the specified regions. This report only contains information on data leaks published by Ransomware groups of their respective official dark web sites. Feel free to or contact us on add us on LinkedIn.

Not only is the Philippines in the middle of a cyber crime and online fraud / scam explosion, cyber attacks aimed at critical national infrastructure and government entities have also experienced a four fold rise in the last 12 months. Targets included government (80%) and educational institutions (20%) and the attacks are combined with a disinformation campaign designed to discredit the current administration. Geopolitical tensions in the region have been suggested as one of the potential root causes but nonetheless, it’s safe to say that much more needs to be done to raise cybersecurity awareness both within government and the public - at the moment we seem to be an easy target. Thanks to Alexander Rogan for bringing this article to my attention. #cybercrime #fraud #scam #online #cybersecurity #awareness #investigations #security #cyberdefense #philippines #china #southchinasea

Amidst rising tensions with China in the South China Sea, Resecurity has observed a significant spike in malicious cyber activity targeting the Philippines in Q1 2024, increasing nearly 325% compared to the same period last year. The cyberattacks consist of a combination of hack and leak (55%), distributed denial-of-service (10%), and misinformation and influence campaigns (35%), according to researchers at Resecurity who have been following the campaigns. The main targets are government (80%) and educational institutions (20%) in the Philippines, and these attacks — on police agencies, government ministries, and universities — and associated data leaks are sowing discontent in the country, according to the researchers. This represents a four-fold (325%) increase in what the researchers identify as malicious cyber-espionage activity targeting the Philippines in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. "The goal of this activity is to discredit the government and create chaos via cyberspace, as the Philippine population also relies on digital media channels and is active on social media networks," says Shawn Loveland, COO of Resecurity. https://lnkd.in/d4ECTuCf #darkweb #darkwebmonitoring #cybersecurity #cyberespionage #cyberrisk #cyberriskmanagement #cybercrime #cybercriminals #criticalinfrastructure #government #ddos #cyberthreatintelligence #threatintelligence #hacktivists #geopolitics #indopacific #propaganda #misinformation

Gil Fromovitch, our VP of Sales in EMEA and APAC, joined an interview with BusinessMirror to talk about the Chinese-backed 'Mustang Panda' group attacks on Philippine government agencies. Amid heightened geopolitical tensions between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea and motivated by cyber espionage, these attacks are initiated using fraudulent PDF and antivirus software to lure victims to download these payloads.

#VaptWithAnmol A "disinfection operation" has been started by French law enforcement in association with Europol to purge infected hosts of PlugX, a known malware. According to Parquet de Paris, the Paris Prosecutor's Office, the program began on July 18 and is anticipated to last for "several months." It went on to say that the cleanup operations have already helped almost a hundred victims who were spread over France, Malta, Portugal, Croatia, Slovakia, and Austria. This news occurs about three months after the September 2023 disclosure by the French cybersecurity firm Sekoia that it had paid $7 to get the IP address of a command-and-control (C2) server that was connected to the PlugX malware. Additionally, it said that every day, about 100,000 different public IP addresses send PlugX queries to the confiscated domain. #security #securityawareness #knowledgesharing #learning #growth #vapt #penetrationtesting #vulnerability
