Cybercriminals adopt unique tools and tactics in their attacks - and Sophos names them ~ ~ security LOLbins

Cybersecurity specialist Sophos has released its Active Adversary Report for Business Leaders, an in-depth look at the changing behaviours and attack techniques that adversaries used in 2022.

In addition, Sophos found that unpatched vulnerabilities were the most common root cause of attackers gaining initial access to targeted systems. In fact, in half of the investigations included in the report, attackers exploited ProxyShell and Log4Shell vulnerabilities – vulnerabilities from 2021 – to infiltrate organisations. The second most common root cause of attacks was compromised credentials.

More than two-thirds of the attacks that the Sophos IR team investigated involved ransomware demonstrating that ransomware is still one of the most pervasive threats for companies. Ransomware also accounted for nearly three-quarters of Sophos’ IR investigations over the past three years.
