Cybercrime Evolution: Why Hackers are the Real MVPs of Adaptation!
Ransomware is evolving, not vanishing, with fewer victims paying up. Cybercriminals are diversifying attacks, targeting supply chains and critical infrastructure. Meanwhile, malware delivery via browser extensions, advanced phishing, and vishing techniques are on the rise, along with IoT and OT device attacks. Cyber threats persist, adapting like a villain in a never-ending sequel.
Hot Take:
Cybercriminals are the ultimate survivalists – always ready to adapt and thrive, even in the harshest of digital landscapes. If they ever form a club, it should be called “Ransomware and Friends,” because these guys are like the cockroaches of the cyber world – they just keep coming back, no matter how many times you try to squash them!
Key Points:
- Ransomware payments have decreased, but the number of attacks has increased.
- Browser extensions and malvertising are becoming popular methods for malware delivery.
- Phishing and vishing are getting smarter thanks to AI.
- IoT and OT devices are under increasing threat due to their weak security.
- Cybercriminals evolve tactics to maximize their return on ‘investment’.
