Attacks like Wannacry, for example, leveraged public RDPs as points of entry and we know that was a big concern. What are some of the most popluar attack vectors right now?ĭM: There are a lot of systems that are now publicly exposed, especially with increased usage of Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). By doing this, these bad actors can target more institutions and users much quicker. All attackers have to do is target the internet connections being used in the classrooms, rather than targeting cloud applications or other platforms. It’s almost the perfect situation for attackers because a lot of schools are set up with a hybrid learning model, where teachers are headed to classrooms while doing remote work and teaching. Things like remote learning are still ongoing in places like the U.S., so we’re seeing more service and online attacks aiming to disrupt these organisations. Aamir Lakhani, FortiGuard LabsĪL: Attackers have also shifted their focus to areas where people are becoming more digitally populated. They have new platforms and classroom setups, as well as a lot more connections that are happening, so education is a big target right now. And that’s been a huge challenge for some institutions that weren’t fully prepared with remote learning capabilities, particularly in K-12 learning where this is all very new to them. The start of Q4 means a lot of people are heading back to work, but also students are heading back to school-both remotely and in-person, or a combination of the two. The attack surface for threat actors is constantly growing, are there any targets that stand out to you as most vulnerable?ĭM: Cybercriminals are often going to jump on the freshest opportunity they see for the element of surprise but that varies from place to place. For example, bad actors are injecting themselves into the middle with classic threat attempts such as sending malicious PDFs as resumes. For example, as some organisations begin hiring again, we’re seeing lures that are specifically targeting candidates, particularly with man-in-the-middle attacks. Now that things are shifting to a different normal, we’re seeing the old threats kickoff once again, but with a change in general focus. In our trackers, the traditional COVID lures have dropped down quite a bit, going from almost 350 a day to double digits now. Outside of the workplace, people were being targeted by health authority impersonators for example offering more information about the pandemic. These threats played off of layoff notices sent to employees, false purchasing orders, messages from HR departments, really anything that could exploit the huge shift in the work environment that employees were experiencing. What changes in attack trends has FortiGuard Labs seen in the months since the beginning of the pandemic?ĭM: April and May were the months where the most COVID lures came about, and of these, email-based threats were by far the most dominant in the threat space. Result = ("media_player.kitchen").In our increasingly digital world, the threat landscape is rapidly changing and expanding, leaving organisations to wonder how they can keep up with evolving threats-especially as cybercriminals swiftly take advantage of new threat vectors and global events as lures.ĭerek Manky (DM), Chief, Security Insights & Global Threat Alliances and Aamir Lakhani (AL), Global Security Strategist and Lead Researcher, FortiGuard Labs, provide some insight into the minds of cybercriminals and their various tactics and targets. ![]() Action: JSON post query with such JSON body:.Trigger: Google assistant, with sentence: I want to listen to album $.It can also be used to target a Squeezebox from IFTTT (or Dialogflow, Alexa…).įor example, to play an album from your collection, create an IFTTT applet like this: This service can be used to integrate any Squeezebox action to an automation.
