What is driving the surge in cyber reconnaissance?
The surge in cyber reconnaissance is largely driven by cybercriminals deploying automated scanning at an unprecedented scale. In 2024, active scanning rose by 16.7% worldwide, with billions of scan attempts each month. This increase reflects a focused effort to map exposed services and identify vulnerabilities before patches can be applied, indicating a shift in adversary strategy towards more proactive and automated reconnaissance.
How are adversaries utilizing the darknet for cyberattacks?
Adversaries are increasingly using the darknet as a marketplace for acquiring resources necessary for cyberattacks. This includes trading stolen credentials, corporate access, and sophisticated exploit kits. In 2024, over 100 billion records were shared in underground forums, marking a 42% increase from the previous year. This ecosystem allows even less skilled attackers to access ready-made resources, thereby increasing the volume and sophistication of attacks.
What role does AI play in modern cybercrime?
AI is reshaping the cybercrime landscape by enabling adversaries to automate various aspects of their operations. Tools powered by AI, such as FraudGPT and BlackmailerV3, help in crafting convincing phishing emails and automating extortion tactics. This evolution lowers the barrier to entry for aspiring cybercriminals, allowing them to execute attacks with greater efficiency and effectiveness, regardless of their technical expertise.
