How does Threat Intelligence help against Cyber Security Threats?
First will go through basics and key points before getting into Threat intelligence in detail
What is a Threat?
A threat can be any activity that will take advantage of the known and unknown vulnerabilities of a system or asset to breach security controls and negatively alter, erase, harm subject or specific objects interest.
Information Security should be part of our everyday life as we are increasingly observing threats can be a software-based attack, intellectual property theft, identity, and access management breach, hardware related theft like sensitive equipment’s design or prototype, or whole hardware itself with personal or official information’s leak, sabotages and using all these details to create illegal extortion methods. Basically, these meliaceous software codes are developed by Hackers to exploit the vulnerabilities of public usage or commercial systems.
Types of Threat?
Attack Vectors: are using malicious software codes like Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, and Bots with other types of attacks like Phishing or spear phishing, Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), Man-in-the-middle (MitM), Drive-by attack, Password attack, SQL injection, Cross-site scripting(XSS), Eavesdropping attack, Birthday attack, etc. users believes that malware, virus, worms, bots all same but actually they are not the only similarity is all are the malicious software’s and will behave differently to harm end-users in different ways.
Malware-based Attack vectors: is a combination of two words called Malicious and Software. Malware is basically malicious software that can be used as intrusive or directive software codes is designed to perform certain malicious operations on a specific or large number of systems. Using these software codes and attack the systems or resources can be described as malware attacks mostly these are knowingly or unknowingly installed in your system without your consent. These are attaching themselves with legitimate codes and propagate them across systems and networks; they can lurk in useful applications or replicate themselves across the Internet.
What is Threat Intelligence?
Threat intelligence is collective data about an organization analyzed in detail to understand the threats that have or will or are currently targeting the organization. In detail, all collected raw data is used to prepare, prevent, and identify cyber threats watching to take advantage of vulnerable resources. The main advantage is to gain as much as proactive knowledge gatherings really help to understand cybersecurity threats that could impact organization assets, networks, and overall to protect personal and business information.
What are the Sources of threat Intelligence?
It can be collected from a variety of sources, mainly categorized as internal and external intelligence sources.
Internal threat intelligence: It’s a collection of highly sensitive data collected within organizations securely stored, segmented, and analyzed from their own networks, including event and application logs, firewall logs, DNS logs, OS log files, Database, and network logs, and other sources. Hence its important organizations need to maintain details of past security events details to help and extract, compare and understand further threat intelligence. Including data on the systems affected by the incident, what are the specific vulnerabilities actually exploited by the hacker or attacker, and what indicators of compromise were detected, along with package data and other raw supporting data.
External threat intelligence: Variety of sources outside of the organization that is ready to share and pool information including open-source intelligence as readily available in public domains like tech news blogs, detailed reports, public blocklists, in various forms, etc., private and commercial sources form paid vendor as the form of software’s, reports and industry-specific sharing groups on potential cybersecurity threats.
Why Threat Intelligence is Important?
In cybersecurity, advanced persistent threats (APTs) and defenders are constantly trying to outsmart each other as a way of life. Especially Organizations want to know the adversary’s next moves hence better prepared and proactively adapt their defenses ready and anticipate future attacks.
How Threat Intelligence actually works?
All Threat intelligence solutions developed and underdevelopment are continually gathering a massive amount of raw data about emerging or existing threat actors and threats from a numerous source, then data is continuously analyzed and filtered to produce threat intelligence feeds and management reports, all the information’s can be used and developed and strengthened automated security control solutions.
The primary purpose of these solutions is to keep organizations informed about the risks of advanced persistent threats, zero-day threats, and exploits possibilities and on top of how to protect against them.
What all are the Key Attributes of Threat Intelligence?
Key is getting actionable insights from the huge volume of data as a source to success to any hence threat intelligence items can be characterized by using 3 key attributes:
• Evidence-based
• Organisation Specific AI Platform
• Actionable insights.
Evidence-based threat intelligence means threat has been rigorously analyzed, validated, and confirmed by cyber experts that the threat is real and vital to organizations’ assets. Always easier to produce evidence for internal threats than outside of the organization where a lot of external factors are involved
Organisation Specific AI Platform A good threat intelligence system designed for organization-specific requirements using AI becomes an asset where they need to strengthen the existing system and add more intelligence to avoid security incidents.
Actionable Insights generated from the Threat intelligence system implemented and tuned and make sure information should drive the development of new security control or policy that mitigates against the threats. Security analysts can configure an alert whenever threats are detected in the network via an Indicator of Compromise (IOC).
What all are types of Threat Intelligence?
There are 4 types of threat intelligence reports that can be used by organizations to improve their cybersecurity posture and each one will represent diverse types of threat information that can be applied and improve the cybersecurity posture.
1.Strategic Intelligence offers very high-level and risk-based lookout that is most relevant details for executive decision-makers rather than being directly actionable by IT security analysts,
2.Tactical Intelligence offers comprehensive information about threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for carrying out a specific type of cyber-attack.
3.Operational Intelligence comprises actionable evidence-based information for a specific upcoming attack. Operational intelligence is fewer than other types of threat intelligence but can serve as a timely warning against an upcoming security threat.
4.Technical Intelligence is a consequence of information gathered from internal sources and technical threat indicators are picked up through event logs analysis.
How Thread Intelligence helps organizations?
The threat intelligence can help to achieve the following objectives:
•To stay up to date on using advanced AI/ML models to analyze and tune the huge volume of data by analyzing kinds of threats and vulnerabilities, targeted sources, and bad actors in the watch.
•Entire organization becomes proactive and well prepared for any future cybersecurity threats.
•Make sure all key leaders, decision-makers and stakeholders, and end-users are well informed about the latest cyber threats and mitigations required to avoid repercussions could be faced in the business.
•Costs Reduction: recent data breaches in organizations have caused not only data loss but also reputation, market position with business loss hence they need to bear costs of fines, lawsuits, investigation expenses, post-incident remediations, and restoration efforts, and timelines, costs, and more. Cyber threat intelligence certainly helps to reduce an organization’s overall expenses and save the business capital by improving its security defenses while mitigating the organization’s risks.
•Risk Reduction: Cybercriminals are relentlessly exploring new ways to penetrate into organization networks. Threat intelligence analysis provides appropriate visibility into those emerging security threats on time to minimize the risk of data loss, block disruption in business operations, and maximize regulatory consent.
•Data loss Management: The threat Intelligence system acts as a watchdog when suspicious IPs or domains are trying to communicate with the organizational network to collect important information using a smart CSTI system that can prevent such IPs from infiltrating into the network and stealing sensitive data.
•Efficient staff management: A threat intelligence system will improve the overall efficiency of the security team by correlating threat intelligence with anomalies flagged by tools on the network. Especially enterprises using automated systems become agile and respond swiftly this allows staff members can focus on critical tasks.
•Deep Cyber Intelligence Analysis: Cyber threat intelligence really helps organizations to analyze and emulate different techniques are designed by hackers and cybercriminals by analyzing these threats deeply helps organizations to determine whether the security defense systems can eliminate such an attack and to what extent.
•Threat Intelligence Sharing: Intelligence Sharing is crucial for protecting organizations and the common man, it really helps to understand how hackers plan for a security breach and can help others prevent such attacks.
Threat Intelligence monitoring and Alerts and Response:
•Hybrid Cybersecurity team using AI/ML models and human’s combo to monitor all networks, systems log on real-time, compare current logs & events with past security events and recognize it then will automatically trigger alerts. Also, proactive threat monitoring with AI-based deep analytics helps to predict when will similar event happens in the future. All these systems are using enterprise SIEM tools hence they can able to send alerts and initiate an automated response to block the threat.
•Organizations need to correlate observed Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) with its known threats to determine how quickly and accurately respond to an intrusion is identified based on continuous observation on their network as aggregated in a SIEM.
What Are the Common Indicators of Security Compromise?
In Pandemic times, organizations are under immense pressure to reduce cost and increase protection against security vulnerabilities as the threat landscape is continuously evolving hence AI-enabled Threat intelligence reports can assist in identifying Common indicators of compromise (IOC) and recommending necessary mitigation steps to be taken to prevent any future attack or infection.
Some most common Indicators of compromises (IOC) are:
•Web Traffic with Unhuman Behaviour
•Swells in Database Read Volume
•HTML Response Sizes.
•Large Numbers of Requests for the Same File
•Mismatched Port-Application Traffic
•Suspicious Registry or System File Changes
•DNS Request Anomalies
•Unusual Outbound Network Traffic.
•Anomalies in Privileged User Account Activity.
•Geographical Irregularities.
•Unexpected Patching of Systems
•Mobile Device Profile Changes
•Bundles of Data in The Wrong Places
•Signs of DDoS Activity
•Other Log-In Red Flags
•IP addresses, URLs, and Domain names will be targeted by malware to an internal host that is communicating with a known threat actor.
•Phishing attempt against organizations Email addresses, email subject, links, and attachments that relies on an unsuspecting user clicking on a link or attachment and initiating a malicious command.
•Registry keys, filenames, and file hashes, and DLLs are attacked from an external host that has already been flagged for malicious behavior or already infected.
The main types of cybersecurity threats?
Attack Vectors in detail
•Virus
It’s also a software code where its true power is relying on to duplicate themselves multiple times by hooking them to the program on the host computer like open-source business software’s, games, videos, songs, etc is out there across web Examples File Virus, Macro Virus, Boot Sector Virus, Stealth Virus, etc.
•Worms
Worms also self-replicating by nature but they don’t hook themselves into programs on the host computer. The main difference between virus vs worms is that worms are network-aware software codes, they will easily travel from one pc to a different one if the network is connected and on the target machine but it’ll not do much harm. for instance, it’ll consume high hard disc space, memory hence slowing down pc speed.
•Trojan
Trojan is different from viruses and worms, the name Trojan derived from ‘Trojan Horse’ tale in Greek mythology, it explains the old story behind how the Greeks were ready to enter the fortified city of Troy by hiding their soldiers during a big Trojan Horse given to Trojans as a present than in night attacked the town from inside. Similarly, a number of the software’s seem very legitimate outside then when software is executed, they’re going to do either stealing information or the other purpose that they’re designed as a backdoor gateway for malicious programs or malevolent users to enter your system and steal your valuable data without your knowledge and permission. Examples include FTP Trojans, Proxy Trojans, Remote Access Trojans, etc.
• Bots
Bots are often considered as complicated sort of worms and their highly automated processes with intelligence embedded inside hence it’s very interactive without the necessity for human interaction due to AI and Machine Learning technologies. supported usage is often good or bad functionalities and it can infect one host and after infecting will create a connection to the central server which can provide commands to all or any infected hosts attached thereto network called Botnet.
Other Thread Vectors:
Distributed denial of service (DDoS)
Denial of service (DoS) attack basically overwhelming system resources for a targeted system try to stop functioning and denying access to the end-users, for distributed denial of service (DDoS) is a variant of DoS and attackers are negotiating with a large number of devices and network systems and then use as a coordinated attack against the target organizational resources. These attacks are part of collective resources for cyber threats and used to launch a denial of service to precious resources, end-users and create confusion using situation attackers will carry out more refined attacks aimed to steal data or causing huge damage to organizational resources
Methods of DDoS attacks include:
TCP SYN Flood Attack, Botnets, Smurf attack, Teardrop attack, Ping of death attack
Man-in-the-middle attack (MitM)
When users or devices are accessed by a remote system through the internet, most of the users assume that they are communicating directly with the server of a targeted system. In a MitM attack, attackers break this assumption, placing themselves in between the user and the target server. Once the attacker has intercepted communications, they may be able to compromise end-user's credentials and steal sensitive data and even return different responses to the user.
MitM attacks include:
Session Hijacking, Replay attack, IP Spoofing, Eavesdropping attack
Social engineering attacks
Social engineering attacks are mostly based on psychological manipulation to the end-users via performing selected activities or actions desirable to the attacker/hacker/stalker with revealing sensitive information.
Social engineering attacks include:
Phishing, Spear phishing, Homograph, Trojan virus, Wiper malware, Ransomware, Malvertising, Drive-by downloads, Rogue security software
Password attacks
It’s basically hackers gain access to the password information from an individual via ‘sniffing’ into personal internet or organizations' local network connection using various methods including social engineering, guessing, or gaining access from the password database. An attacker can ‘guess’ a password in a random or systematic way using various tools and automation techniques
Passwords attacks include:
Brute-force password guessing and Dictionary attack
Advanced persistent threats (APT)
An advanced persistent threat (APT) is an attack where unauthorized hackers are gained access to the organization resources like systems and networks and databases, hackers are remains sits anonymously for an extended period of time to avoid being tracked or detected by a security team and their tools over the period of time-based on deep analysis they figured out loopholes in setup by using it gradually progress the APT attacks, these type of attacks are very difficult to detect as its highly customized and sophisticated especially these are designed, implemented by the highly skilled hackers for a specific and targeted purpose hence organizations with good security setup, mitigation plans find themselves very difficult to trace and defend against it.
In fact, nowadays APT attacks are increasing multi-fold as attackers are relying on their ability to remain undetected and untraced and under the radar techniques in order to carry out the specific mission to become successful especially these attacks are dangerous for large corporates or enterprises where hackers use have gained access to their sensitive data.
APT has several phases from design to implementation to tracking and hacking starts with hacking the network, avoiding detection mechanism and refrain it finally constructing a detailed plan of attack and mapping company data to determine where the desired data is most accessible, gathering sensitive company data, and exfiltrating that data.
APT warnings are including as follows:
Suspicious Logins, Backdoor Trojans, Data Flow Monitoring, discovering unexpected data bundles, Detecting pass-the-hash attacks.
Phishing/spear phishing Attacks
Phishing attacks are part of the peculiar practice of sending emails that appear to be from a trusted source with the aim of gaining personal information or influencing users to manage specific functions. These kinds of attacks are traditionally combining with social engineering attacks then do a trick to cheat end users. Normally these attacks are designed to send an attachment in an email where attachments are loaded with malware while end-user try to open it then it will load into end-user systems and another type of attack is sharing a tricky link of a hacking website that’s very difficult to believe malicious that can trick users to download malware or handing over personal information via scam links using best brand names/schemes- website ads like amazon coupons via social media forwards/ emails
Spear phishing is a very targeted type of phishing activity. Attackers will take their time to conduct deep research on their targets and create innovative designs and measured messages that are very personal and relevant to users. Due to personally designed attack spear-phishing attacks are hard to identify and even harder to defend it because it’s personalized one.
The most common way hackers are conducting spear-phishing attacks are via email spoofing in which information received in “From” section of the email is completely falsified and looks like appear coming from someone known to them a long time or official exchange for example email from the office manager, colloquies or business partners or friend or a family member. Another technique that scammers are using is website cloning where they copy/clone legitimate websites with almost identical details to fool you into entering personally identifiable information (PII) or login credentials.
To reduce the risk of being phished, you can use these techniques:
Critical thinking, hovering over the links, Analysing email headers, Sandboxing
Drive-by attack
It’s a special malware using spread and attack method designed for Drive-by download as a common practice. Normally hackers look into insecure websites and plant the malicious script into HTTP or PHP code as part of the page, scripts are installing this malware directly into the target devices of an end-user who visits these sites. Drive-by downloads will happen only when end-user visiting this malicious website or open and view an email attachment message or a pop-up window clink and unknowing download, unlike other types of attacks are drive-by an end-user do some activity but drive-by download can take advantage of an app, operating system or a web browser browsing with security flaws like unsuccessful updates or lack of updates can be used as a weapon to attack the resources
To protect yourself from drive-by attacks:
· Regularly update OS and Browsers UpToDate and Clean-up malicious Codes,
· Remove unnecessary codes and cleanly manage application and Don’t keep too many unnecessary programs and apps on your device,
· For plug-ins kind of applications more plugin usage means more vulnerabilities that can be exploited by drive-by attackers.
Password attack
Passwords are the most widely used security mechanism to manage access management and authenticate applications or information systems including social media apps hence obtaining passwords important to hackers to target it, it’s a very effective attacking approach across the globe to penetrate and extract personal information. Accessing a person’s personal password is to obtained by watching around his personal activities hence ‘‘sniffing’’ into their network connection via acquiring unencrypted passwords or using social engineering techniques or finding from password databases, or doing by outright guessing or using ML tools to crack password locks. Hackers are using different approaches to achieve their goal
1.To protect from password attacks needs to protect
2. Brute-force password guessing and Dictionary attack
SQL injection
SQL injection attacks are becoming a common issue for most of the websites that are driven by databases all these are happened due to malefactor executes a SQL query function to fetch databases via input data from a client application to fetch server as an application call. Though SQL commands application data will be inserted into database/tables any successful SQL injections will exploit that can read sensitive data from the database and do the update statement (insert, update or delete) to the database, also execute administrative operations start/shutdown on the database, and recover the content of a given file and, in some cases, issue commands to the operating system.
To protect from SQL injection attacks,
To apply the least0privilege model for permissions in databases
Stick to stored procedures and should not use any dynamic SQLs and prepared statements with parameterized queries
Codes are executing against databases must be safe enough to prevent injection attacks with addition, validate input data against a white list at the application level.
Cross-site scripting (XSS)
Cross-site scripting XSS attacks are using third-party web resources to run scripts into the victim’s web browser or targeted scriptable applications. More specifically attackers use to injects a payload with malicious JavaScript to target the respective website’s database whenever an end-user or a victim requests a page-load from the website when the website is transmitting pages with the attacker’s payload as part of the HTML body to the victim’s browser, which executes the malicious script.
For example, it will send the victim’s browser cookies details to the attacker’s server then the attacker extract required information’s and then use for session hijacking attack type, the most significant impact will be whenever XSS is used to exploit additional vulnerabilities that can ensure the attacker not only steal cookies data but also log keystrokes related details and capture screenshots details, discover and collect network information, and remotely access and control the victim’s machine.
While XSS can be taken advantage of using JavaScript frameworks as the latest and most widely used attacking method because it's used for web and mobile applications development.
To defend against XSS attacks, developers must cleanse data inputs shared by users via an HTTP request before reflecting it back. To make sure all data is validated, filtered, or escaped before echoing anything back to the user, such as the values of query parameters during searches. Convert special characters such as ? &, /, <, > and spaces to their respective HTML or URL encoded equivalents. Give users the option to disable client-side scripts.
Eavesdropping attack
Eavesdropping attacks occur through interception of network traffic by sniffing/snooping, the main objective of the attacker is to obtain personal sensitive information’s PIIs like passwords, credit card numbers, and other confidential information for a user might be sending over the network in the BFSI domain or personally identifiable information’s.
Eavesdropping can be passive or active:
· Passive eavesdropping — A hacker detects the information by listening to the message transmission in the network.
· Active eavesdropping — A hacker actively grabs the information by disguising himself as a friendly unit and by sending queries to transmitters. This is called probing, scanning, or tampering.
Detecting passive eavesdropping attacks is often important than spotting active ones since active attacks require the attacker to gain knowledge of the periocular network by conducting passive eavesdropping before. The best measure to secure the data in the network is to enable Data encryption as a countermeasure for eavesdropping.
Birthday attack
Birthday attacks are targets to hashing algorithms that are used to verify the integrity of messages, software, and digital signatures. Messages are processed by a hash function that produces a message digest (MD) of fixed length, independent of the length of the input message and MD has uniquely characterized those messages.
The birthday attacks are referred to the probability of finding two random messages that generate at the same MD when processed by a hash function. If an attacker calculates the same MD for his message as the user has, he can safely replace the user’s message with his, and the receiver will not be able to detect the replacement even if he compares MDs.
Malware based Attack Vectors
Malware, Spywares, and Ransomware will vary based on their actions and behaviors:
Hackers will use all types of innovative methods to get malware is passed into user’s devices, basically using tricks to ask end-users to make certain action such as clicking a link or opening an attachment and so on, and also they will exploit vulnerabilities in browsers or operating systems via malware to install themselves without the user’s knowledge or consent once the malware is installed then they can monitor the end-user activities, send confidential data to the attacker, assist the attacker to penetrate other targets within the network and gather more information to target other targets continually even it can cause user’s device to participate in a botnet leveraged by the attacker for malicious intent
Adware — An attacker can embed malicious code inside the software as adware for marketing purposes; advertising banners are displayed while any program is running to display ads based on end-user interests as the primary purpose of this adware, they can use code to monitor end user’s system activities and can even compromise machines as they do have able to breach the privacy of the users. It mostly comes as an extra part of free-to-use software or part of open-source codes. Another important fact that it automatically downloaded to the end user’s system while browsing any website and can be viewed through pop-up windows or through a bar that appears on the computer screen automatically.
Spyware — Spyware is a type of program that is installed to collect information about users, their computers, or their browsing habits. It tracks everything you do without your knowledge and sends the data to a remote user along with It can download and install other malicious programs from the internet. Spyware works like adware but is usually a separate program that is installed unknowingly when you install another freeware application. Spyware is generally dropped by Trojans, viruses, or worms, and once dropped they install themselves and sits silently to avoid any detection.
The most common examples of spyware are Keylogger and the basic job of a keylogger is to record user keystrokes with a timestamp, its mostly capturing sensitive information’s like username, passwords, credit card details, etc to
Worms — Worms differ from viruses as they do not attach to a host file but they are self-contained programs to propagate across networks and computers, especially worms are commonly spread through email attachments; opening the attachment activates the worm program. A typical worm exploit involves the worm sending a copy of itself to every contact in an infected computer’s email address in addition to conducting malicious activities, a worm spreading across the internet and overloading email servers can result in denial-of-service attacks against nodes on the network.
Ransomware — It is a special type of malware that will either encrypt your files or databases or will lock your devices or operating systems making them inaccessible either partially or wholly to make sure end-users unable to perform day-to-day functions. Hackers use to display a screen with a message asking for money as a ransom in exchange for unlocking the system or resources. The most advanced malware is using a technique called cryptoviral extortion, in which it encrypts the victim’s files/databases/devices in a way that makes them nearly impossible to recover without the decryption key.
Scareware — It’s pretenses as a tool to help fix systems but when software is executed it will infect your system or completely destroy it will display a message that will frighten end-users and force them to take action like pay them to fix the sensitive devices or systems.
Rootkits — are designed to gain root access or assume to say administrative privileges in the user system. Once gained the root access, the exploiter can do anything from stealing private files to private data.
Zombies — It works the same way as Spyware especially infection mechanism works similarly but it won’t spy and steal information’s rather it will wait for hackers to execute commands for their convenient time and resources.
Macro viruses — These viruses usually infect applications like Microsoft Word or Excel applications, Macro viruses attached to an application’s initialization sequence, and whenever the application is opened, the virus executes instructions before transferring control to the application. Another fact is this virus replicates itself and attaches to other codes in the device
File infectors — File infector viruses are attaching themselves to executable code, such as .exe files and these viruses are installed whenever the code is loaded into system memory for execution and there is another version of a file infector is associates itself with a file by creating a virus file with the same name as existing but a .exe extension. Therefore, when the file is opened, the virus code will execute.
System or boot sector or boot-record infectors — A boot-record virus attaches to the master boot record on hard disks and whenever the system is started, it’ll look into the boot sector and load the virus into memory and then propagate to part of storage disks and PC.
Polymorphic viruses — These types of viruses conceal themselves through varying cycles of encryption and decryption. The encrypted virus and an associated mutation engine are initially decrypted by a decryption program then the virus proceeds to infect an area of code. The mutation engine then develops a new decryption routine and the virus encrypts the mutation engine and a copy of the virus with an algorithm corresponding to the new decryption routine. The encrypted package of mutation engine and virus is attached to new code, and the process repeats. Such viruses are difficult to detect but have a high level of entropy because of the many modifications of their source code. Anti-virus software or free tools like Process Hacker can use this feature to detect them.
Stealth viruses — Stealth viruses take over system functions to conceal themselves and they do this by compromising malware detection software so that the software will report an infected area as being uninfected. These viruses conceal any increase in the size of an infected file or changes to the file’s date and time of last modification.
Logic bombs — A logic bomb is a type of malicious software that is appended to an application and is triggered by a specific occurrence, such as a logical condition or a specific date and time.
Droppers — A dropper is a program used to install viruses on computers and in many instances, the dropper is not infected with malicious code and, therefore might not be detected by virus-scanning software but at any point of time a dropper can connect to the internet and download updates to virus software that is resident on a compromised system.
Theft of intellectual property means violation of intellectual property rights like copyrights, patents, Trade symbols, trademarks, copying know-how? etc.
Identity theft means to illegally or fraudulently or without consent obtain a person’s personal information or to access vital information or shared from the device or stealing/hacking/sharing from social media accounts by using their login credentials. Theft of a device and information is increasing these days due to the usage of mobile devices and using it for handling a huge volume of personal and sensitive information data.
Sabotage means destroying a personal or organizational web asset like websites or mobile applications to create a loss of business or reputation or loss of confidence for their customers.
Information extortion means theft of a company’s property or information to receive payment in exchange. Most of the ransomware attacks will lock victims’ files making them inaccessible thus forcing victims to make payments in exchange. Only after payment victim’s files will be unlocked.
