RANSOMWARE
Wrecking businesses to feed their own
Ransomware groups make up a huge chunk of the cybercrime economy for a reason: their attacks work. If an org isn’t secure, it doesn’t take long for attackers to quietly steal data and take over their infrastructure…at least until they get paid. But here’s how you wreck ‘em.
BUSINESS EMAIL COMPROMISE
Stealing identities & credentials is easier than ever
While the cybercriminals behind business email compromise are after wire transfers and stolen data, they get there by targeting human trust—and they’re only getting better at it. (Just not good enough to hide from Huntress, though.)
