Nuspire, a leading managed security services provider (MSSP), today announced the release of its Q2 2022 Quarterly Threat Report. The report outlines new cybercriminal activity and tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs).
Nuspire’s data reveals a significant increase in overall threat activity across malware, botnet and exploits. Malware events increased over 25%, botnets doubled over the first quarter and exploit activity grew by nearly 150%, buoyed by the Log4j vulnerability.
Additional notable findings from Nuspire’s Q2 2022 Threat Report include:
- VBA agent activity, which has been one of the top offenders over the past year in Nuspire’s Quarterly Threat Reports, has significantly decreased as predicted last quarter, due to Microsoft’s announcement of blocking them by default.
- A substantial increase in botnet activity near the end of Q2, attributed to Torpig Mebroot botnet, which is a banking trojan designed to scrape and collect credit card and payment information from infected devices. Torpig Mebroot is particularly difficult to detect and remove, as it infects the victim machine’s master boot record.
- Manufacturing is the world’s most attacked industry vertical. Our data shows the LockBit ransomware gang and Dynamite Panda (APT18) as two of the most prevalent threats to the manufacturing industry in the second quarter.
