July 12, 2018

 

When it comes to the global cyber threat landscape, threats are ever evolving, keeping organizations, as well as the security research community, constantly challenged.

In our Cyber Attack Trends: 2018 Mid-Year Report we take a look at how so far this year, the different strains of malware and their authors have proven to be capable of much more than previously imagined, with more sophistication and a new level of agility. Indeed, as seen in our analysis of the GandCrab Ransomware, malware is now rapidly adapting in real-time to the technology solutions offered by security vendors.

One of the biggest ongoing trends is Cryptominers and crypto-related threats as a whole. Indeed, Cryptominers have taken the world by storm, becoming the leading attack vector used by threat actors this year, overtaking even Ransomware.

The Check Point Cyber Attack Trends: 2018 Mid-Year Report provides a comprehensive overview of the malware landscape in the top categories of Cryptominers, Ransomware, banking and mobile threats, based on threat intelligence data drawn from the ThreatCloud World Cyber Threat Map between January and June 2018.
