This paper outlines five predictions for the data breach industry in the coming year.

Trend Micro researchers’ in-depth explorations of the cybercriminal underworld— from Germany1, Brazil2, Japan3, North America4, and China5 to Russia6—have shown how financial gain motivates the way malware, crimeware, personally identifiable information (PII), and stolen commodities change hands. While their marketplaces are profit-driven and focused on flaunting their wares, we observed that the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) underground was somewhat different with its ironic mix of ideology and felony.

In this quarterly threats report, they highlight three Key Topics: In the lead story, they analyze the recent WannaCry and Petya attacks, the perpetrators’ likely motives, and the business impact. The second Key Topic departs from their usual threat analysis stories. Because threat hunting is becoming increasingly important, in this story they offer detailed advice and recommendations for using certain types of indicators of compromise when hunting for threats. In the final Key Topic, they explore script-based malware—why it is used, how authors obfuscate scripts, how it propagates, and its growth in popularity.

The Proofpoint Quarterly Threat Report captures threats, trends and transformations we see within our customer base and in the wider security market.

This paper seeks to answer the following questions, “What motivates victims to pay up? How much do they value their data? What role does antivirus protection play in the problem-solving equation?"

This report uses the impact of the Mirai botnet, to help stakeholders prevent future incidents by addressing the lack of security-by-design in the Internet-of-things and in the Internet itself.

This report from October 2016 takes a look at the Mirai botnet, VULNS, breach responses, and some new security initiatives.

This report takes a look at how the ransomware types work, not just from a technological point of view but also from a psychological viewpoint. They also look at how these threats evolved, what factors are at play to make ransomware the major problem that it is today, and where ransomware is likely to surface next.
