In our 12th annual Data Breach Industry Forecast, our focus covers a wide swath of attacks from the personal (teens exploitation), corporate (increases in internal fraud), national (using dynamic identification as a fraud defense), and global (bad actors pursuing data centers). Spanning all these predictions is the dramatically accelerated speed and scaling of cyberattacks that are AI-enabled. This year’s predictions come from Experian’s long history of helping companies navigate breaches over the past 22 years.

In this report, Marsh McLennan’s team demonstrated a statistically significant correlation between all of our dark web intelligence sources - including (but not limited to) dark web market listings, hacking forum chatter, and dark web traffic to and from the corporate network - and an increased likelihood of suffering a cybersecurity incident.

To reflect the shift from malware to threats we have evolved our State of Malware report once again. We asked our experts what resource constrained IT teams should pay attention to in the year ahead. They have chosen six threats that illustrate some of the most serious cybercrime tactics we’ve seen on Windows, Mac, and Android. It is not an exhaustive list, but if you are equipped to handle these then you are well placed to deal with anything the cybercrime ecosystem can throw at you.

This research report provides a comprehensive analysis of ransomware incidents and binaries recorded and gathered globally, offering insights into trends, attacker profiles, ransomware families, and the implications for cybersecurity defenses. Ransomware knows no borders and neither do the groups unleashing it. Rather than picturing these groups as a collection of individuals in hoodies, we must extend our collective imagination to fathom the international business model that delivers the end product — ransomware — to our doorsteps.

In this report, the IT-ISAC tracked 18 new ransomware groups in 2023, reflecting that financial gain continues to be one of the top motivating factors behind cyberattacks. As long as the chances of making money is high and the risk of getting caught is low, ransomware will continue. Despite government and law enforcement efforts to take down malicious infrastructure, new ransomware strains continue to emerge.

In this report, cybercriminal landscape remained diverse, comprising both lone actors and criminal networks offering a wide range of expertise and capabilities. Some cybercriminals targeting the EU were based within the EU, while others preferred to operate from abroad, concealing their illicit operations and funds in third countries. The use of deepfakes is another area of concern as this is a powerful addition to the cybercriminal toolbox.

In this report, he have to caveat by saying that these figures are lower bound estimates based on inflows to the illicit addresses we’ve identified today. One year from now, these totals will almost certainly be higher, as we identify more illicit addresses and incorporate their historic activity into our estimates. 2023 was a year of recovery for cryptocurrency, as the industry rebounded from the scandals, blowups, and price declines of 2022.

Our data shows that 96% of people who took a risky action knew that what they were doing might be risky, so it seems that key information is getting through. However, knowing what to do and doing it are two different things. The challenge is now not just awareness, but behavior change.
