Talos Intelligence report for Q1 2024 - Business Email Compromise (BEC) has surged, now representing 46% of incidents. - Ransomware incidents have declined by 11%. - Data theft extortion, VPN brute-force activity, and new ransomware variants like Phobos and Akira are on the rise. - The manufacturing sector remains highly targeted, with compromised credentials as a common attack vector. But here’s the kicker: Unauthorized MFA Pushes: A startling 25% of security incidents were due to users accepting unauthorized MFA notifications. MFA Implementation: There’s been a 21% engagement in incidents due to improper MFA implementation, though it’s a 44% decrease from the previous quarter. Actionable Steps for Organizations: - Train employees on the correct response to excessive MFA notifications. - Adopt number-matching in MFA applications for an added security layer. - Implement MFA on all critical services, including remote access and IAM services. - Prevent compromises effectively with MFA, the most robust method against remote threats.

Remote-access tools the intrusion point to blame for most ransomware attacks Self-managed VPNs from Cisco and Citrix were 11 times more likely to be linked to a ransomware attack last year, At-Bay research found. Remote-access tools were the primary intrusion point for ransomware attacks, accounting for 3 in 5 attacks last year, cybersecurity insurance firm At-Bay said Wednesday in a report. Attackers primarily targeted perimeter-access tools in 2023, but shifted their focus from remote desktop protocol to targeting self-managed VPNs. These on-premises VPNs were linked to more than 3 in 5 ransomware attacks where remote access was the initial entry vector, according to At-Bay. “Attackers go after the same things.
