Nuspire today unveiled its Q1 2024 Cyber Threat Report. This latest report provides an in-depth examination of the changing dynamics in cyber threats, highlighting rises in ransomware, dark web commerce and exploit activities, alongside measures to safeguard against these threats.
The Q1 2024 report spotlights a 3.69% rise in ransomware activities from Q4 2023, punctuating the persistent threat ransomware groups pose. Additionally, dark web market activity saw a staggering 58.16% increase in listings, indicating significant growth in the trade of stolen data and illicit goods.
Exploitation events also experienced a sharp uptick, with a 52.61% increase in total activity from Q4. The report specifically points to the exploitation of the Hikvision Product SDK WebLanguage Tag Command Injection vulnerability (CVE-2021-36260) as a leading concern.
Additional findings from Nuspire’s newly-released cyber threat report:
- Despite the U.S. Department of Justice’s disruption of LockBit’s operations on Feb. 20, 2024, the group’s extortion publications experienced only a temporary decline before rapidly recovering, resulting in a 1.74% increase in LockBit’s publications by the end of Q1 2024 compared to Q4 2023.
- The manufacturing sector, crucial to supply chains and rich in intellectual property, faced a jump in ransomware attacks from LockBit and CL0P. The growth in attacks highlights the vulnerabilities this industry often faces resulting from complex IT/OT systems, underinvestment in cybersecurity and the sector’s historical prioritization of operational continuity over security measures.
- The report also revealed a more than twentyfold increase in exploit attempts against the Hikvision Product SDK WebLanguage Tag Command Injection vulnerability (CVE-2021-36260) compared to Q4’s data. This vulnerability allows for remote device hijacking without user interaction on Hikvision security cameras.
- Listings on dark web marketplaces featuring Lumma Stealer saw a significant increase, more than doubling from Q4 2023. Lumma Stealer emerged in 2023 and quickly became a leader in infostealing malware.
