That cyberattacks are at their historical peaks is a clear and indisputable fact, unfortunately. What we had not noticed until now was the increase in cases in which cybercriminals are specifically hired to sabotage companies.
Trend Micro has published a study focused on the cybercrime supply service, after noticing the increase in ransomware cases. The demand has increased so much in recent years that cybercriminals now offer their “services” to customers.
The report also reveals that sellers focus on obtaining profits quickly and that the services are usually used by other smaller groups.
On the part of potential victims, to avoid these cases it is recommended to monitor access networks, activate a password reset system, configure a multi-factor authentication system, monitor user behavior, segment the network, use secure passwords and, Of course, apply a Zero Trust policy to all received messages.
