Attack Techniques July H2 2024

No Data Found

In the second timeline of July 2024 I collected 116 events (7.25 events/day) with a threat landscape dominated by malware with 27.7% ahead of targeted attacks (15.1%) and the exploitation of vulnerabilities (11.8%). It is interesting to notice the drop of ransomware (“only” at number four with 10.1%).

Cyber crime led the motivations with 66.7%, nearly eight points less than the previous timeline, when it was 74.3%, and once again ahead of cyber espionage up to 16.7% from 14.9% of the previous timeline. It is also interested to note the 5% of events characterized by hacktivism.

Besides these trends, as always the timeline is rich of interesting events, such as mega breaches, and attacks against organizations in the fintech space, so my final suggestion does not change.

Feel free to share it to support my work and spread the risk awareness across the community. And last but not least, don’t forget to follow @paulsparrows on X (formerly Twitter), or even connect on Linkedin, or Mastodon for the latest updates.
