2024’s Cyber Circus: Browser Threats Take Center Stage, Email Attacks Exit Left!
Browser-based cyber-threats have skyrocketed in 2024, leaving email-delivered malware in the dust. With attackers using drive-by downloads and malicious ads, threats like Lumma Stealer are bypassing traditional filters. Valid credential abuse is up too, with fraud marketplaces practically having a clearance sale on high-value credentials for just $10.
Hot Take:
Looks like cybercriminals have shifted gears and are now cruising down the information superhighway with their new browser-based threats. Who needs email when you can drive-by and download everything you need? It’s like ditching the old-school postman for a speedy pizza delivery guy—instant, hot, and ready to cause heartburn (or in this case, data breach)!
Key Points:
- Browser-based threats have surged in 2024, replacing email as the go-to delivery method for malware.
- Malicious actors are using drive-by downloads and ads to deliver threats like Lumma Stealer and NetSupport Manager RAT.
- Traditional email filters and security controls are easily bypassed with these new browser-based tactics.
- Valid credential abuse has increased, becoming the primary access point for cyber intrusions.
- Fraud marketplaces are offering compromised credentials for as little as $10, making corporate infiltration more accessible than a Black Friday sale!
