Welcome to this week’s Black Arrow Cyber Threat Briefing – a weekly digest, collated and curated by our cyber experts to provide senior and middle management with an easy to digest round up of the most notable threats, vulnerabilities, and cyber related news from the last week.

Top Cyber Stories of the Last Week

Over Half of Companies Experienced Cyber Security Incidents Last Year

According to a recent global survey, over half of the participating companies faced major security incidents in the past year, necessitating additional resources to tackle these challenges. Despite these incidents, many organisations claim improved performance on key cyber security indicators and express confidence in their threat detection capabilities. The research highlights a concerning discrepancy between perceived security measures and the actual state of security operations, underscoring a lack of comprehensive visibility and effective response mechanisms within companies. Particularly concerning is the finding that organisations can typically monitor only two-thirds of their IT environments, exposing significant vulnerabilities. Furthermore, the study points to a greater need for greater automation and third-party assistance in threat detection and response, suggesting that while companies are aware of their shortcomings, the path to enhanced security involves embracing AI-driven solutions to close these gaps. This insight highlights to leadership the importance of investing in advanced cyber security technologies and expertise to safeguard the organisation’s digital assets effectively.

Deepfake Video Conference Costs Business $25 Million

There has been a surge in the number of artificial intelligence deepfake attacks where technology is being used to impersonate individuals. In one case, a finance professional at a multinational was reportedly swindled out of $25 million (HK$200 million) of company money when scammers created a deepfake of his London-based chief financial officer in a video conference call, faking both the CFO’s look and voice. The scam involved the fake CFO making increasingly urgent demands to execute money transfers, resulting in 15 transfers from the victim employee. The reality of the attack was only discovered by the victim after he had contacted the company’s corporate head office.

Watershed Year for Ransomware as Victims Rose by Almost 50% And Payments Hit $1 Billion All-Time High

Even with enforcers shutting down some ransomware gangs, the business of ransomware is booming. A recent report from Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 found a 49% increase in the number of victims reported on ransomware leak sites; this does not include those who were victims but did not appear on sites. This comes as ransomware hit an all time high, with over $1b made in ransomware payments. Of note, this is just ransom payments; this does not take in to account reputational damage, recovery costs and loss in share value. The real effects of a ransomware attack may take months or even years to materialise. As ransomware remains a constant threat, it is important for organisations to be prepared.

Malware-as-a-Service Now the Top Threat to Organisations

Recent studies have underscored a significant shift in the cyber threat landscape, with Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS) and Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) now dominating. These ‘as-a-service’ tools are particularly concerning as they lower the barrier to entry for cyber criminals, enabling even those with limited technical knowledge to launch sophisticated attacks. The report found that the most common as-a-Service tools were Malware loaders (77% of investigated threats), crypto-miners (52% of investigated threats) and botnets (39% of investigated threats). These findings underscore the adaptability of these threats, with malware strains being developed with multiple functions to maximise damage. Despite these trends, traditional methods like phishing continue to pose significant challenges for security teams. It’s clear that staying ahead of these evolving threats requires a proactive and comprehensive approach to cyber security.

Over 9 in 10 UK Firms Who Fell Victim to Ransomware Paid the Ransom, Despite Alleged “No Pay” Stances

A recent report has found that over 97% of UK firms have paid a ransom in the last two years, finding even more reason to operate in a when-not-if environment. When asked about their recovery in an event, 38% said they could recover in four to six days, and 34% need one to two weeks to recover; almost one in four (24%) need over three weeks to recover data and restore business processes. Only 12% said their company had stress-tested their data security, data management, and data recovery processes or solutions in the six months prior to being surveyed, and 46% had not tested their processes or solutions in over 12 months.

Chinese State Hackers Hid in National Infrastructure for at Least 5 Years

US cyber officials have said that they discovered China-sponsored hackers lurking in American computer networks, positioning themselves to disrupt communications, energy, transportation and water systems; and this had been going on for at least 5 years. This has led to a joint warning from the US FBI, National Security Agency and Cyber Infrastructure and Security Agency, which has been cosigned by Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This dwell time isn’t just something that is encountered in critical infrastructure networks; attackers lurk on networks, undiscovered often for years, allowing them to see everything going on in the corporate environment.

Email Attacks on Businesses Tripled and AI is a Huge Contributing Factor

Email attacks against businesses have increased dramatically as hackers continually use generative AI tools to optimise their content and streamline malicious campaigns, new research has claimed.

The report from Acronis is based on data collected from more than a million unique endpoints across 15 countries, and found AI-powered phishing affected more than 90% of organisations last year. AI helped has email attacks grow by 222% since the second half of 2023.

Security Leaders, C-Suite Unite to Tackle Cyber Threats

A recent survey found that CEOs are taking a more hands-on approach and prioritising cyber resilience in 2024, leading to the breakdown of traditional silos between IT operations and security teams. The survey polled over 200 C-Suite and senior-level IT executives globally, and revealed a growing recognition of the importance of collaboration in combating sophisticated cyber threats, with 99% of respondents observing increased connectivity between the teams over the past year. While progress has been made, challenges remain, with only 48% of organisations establishing joint protocols for incident mitigation or recovery. Looking ahead, respondents anticipate a significant role for artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing security efforts, with 68% expecting AI to streamline threat detection and response. Despite advancements, fragmented data protection solutions persist as a challenge, impacting over 90% of organisations' cyber resiliency. This underscores the need for a top-down approach to cyber security, with CEOs and boards driving collaboration between IT operations and security teams to optimise cyber preparedness initiatives and mitigate cyber risks effectively.

UN Experts Investigate Cyber Attacks by North Korea that Raked in $3 Billion to Build Nuclear Weapons

UN sanction monitors are investigating dozens of suspected cyber attacks by North Korea that have raked in $3 billion to help North Korea further its nuclear weapons programme, according to excerpts of an unpublished UN report. “The panel is investigating 58 suspected DPRK cyber attacks on cryptocurrency-related companies between 2017 and 2023, valued at approximately $3 billion, which reportedly help fund DPRK’s WMD development,” according to the monitors, who report twice a year to the 15-member security council.

What Does a ‘Cyber Security Culture’ Actually Entail?

Fostering a robust cyber security culture emerges as a critical imperative for organisations in 2023, as revealed by ITPro Today's "State of Cybersecurity in 2023" study. Despite this recognition, organisations grapple with various challenges, including budget constraints, staffing shortages, and the failure to implement fundamental security practices like the principle of least privilege and zero trust. Insufficient staffing and constrained budgets elevate the risk of breaches, emphasising the need for a collective effort to bolster security measures.

Cultivating a cyber security culture entails educating every employee on security risks and holding them accountable for risk reduction efforts. While security teams play a pivotal role in setting expectations and providing guidance, a culture of cyber security necessitates continuous training, integration of security into everyday work, and clear delineation of risk ownership throughout the organisation. By prioritising proactive measures and fostering individual responsibility, organisations can fortify their defences against evolving cyber threats and mitigate risks effectively.

Beyond Checkboxes: Security Compliance as a Business Enabler

In today's complex business landscape, regulatory requirements are increasingly intricate, especially concerning cyber security compliance. While compliance might evoke images of stringent regulations and time-consuming audits, reframing our perspective reveals its potential as a vital business enabler. Security leaders, in collaboration with senior management, must cultivate a culture where commitment to cyber security compliance permeates the organisation, emphasising its role in fostering trust, facilitating global market access, and even serving as a competitive advantage. Moreover, robust compliance programs drive operational efficiency, innovation, and cost savings in the long run. Embracing cyber security compliance as a strategic enabler, rather than a regulatory burden, positions businesses for success, innovation, and resilience in an ever-evolving digital landscape.

No One in Cyber Security Is Ready for the SolarWinds Prosecution

The concept of "materiality" has taken centre stage for Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) in light of new SEC regulations, requiring US public companies to disclose "material cyber security incidents" within four days. The SolarWinds breach and subsequent SEC charges against the company and its CISO highlight the seriousness of these regulations. This shift necessitates a deeper understanding of what constitutes "material" risk in cyber security and a more transparent approach to risk communication. However, many CISOs face challenges in quantifying and communicating cyber risks effectively to boards and executives, who often lack familiarity with cyber security terminology. This regulatory change underscores the need for CISOs to bridge the gap between cyber security and financial reporting, ensuring accurate and precise risk communication at the C-Suite level. Additionally, policymakers should incentivise C-Suite accountability for cyber risk management, fostering a culture where cyber risks are addressed proactively and transparently.

Welcome to this week’s Black Arrow Cyber Threat Briefing – a weekly digest, collated and curated by our cyber experts to provide senior and middle management with an easy to digest round up of the most notable threats, vulnerabilities, and cyber related news from the last week.

Top Cyber Stories of the Last Week

Cyber Attacks More Likely Than Fire or Theft, as Fifth of UK Businesses Fallen Victim To Cyber Attack in Past Year

A survey of more than 1,200 UK businesses of all sizes across multiple industries conducted by Aviva found that a fifth of UK businesses were victims to cyber attacks in the past year. The report found that businesses were 67% more likely to have experienced a cyber incident than a physical theft and five times more likely to have experienced a cyber attack than a fire.

When it came to the fallout from a cyber attack, 31% of businesses experienced operational disruption and 20% admit to not being confident in knowing what to do should this happen. This lack of confidence rises to more than a quarter (27%) for small businesses, who appear to be the most vulnerable to such a risk. Financially, the average incident was found to cost £21,000, however this figure is likely to be more given the further implications that result from a cyber attack.

Russia Hacking: 'FSB in Years-Long Cyber Attacks on UK', Says UK Government

The UK government has accused Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the KGB, of conducting a prolonged cyber hacking campaign since at least 2015, targeting politicians, journalists, academics, and others through sophisticated attacks that included the creation of false accounts. This accusation, part of a coordinated effort with the US, aims to disrupt FSB operations and raise awareness ahead of major elections. This comes as a recent report by Palo Alto Networks' Unit 42 found that the Russia-linked APT28 group, also known as “Forest Blizzard” or “Fancybear,” has exploited a Microsoft Outlook vulnerability to target European NATO members. Active since 2007 and linked to the Russian military, APT28's recent campaigns have focused on government, energy, transportation, and NGOs in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. These incidents highlight the critical need for enhanced cyber security measures and international cooperation to counter sophisticated and evolving cyber threats, ensuring the security of sensitive sectors and the integrity of global democratic processes.

NCSC CTO: Cyber Security is Essential, Not Optional

Ollie Whitehouse, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the UK’s NCSC has argued in a recent keynote that extra security features should not be a premium feature, highlighting the importance of vendors adopting a secure-by-design method, rather than implementing security upcharges where vendors charge extra for users to secure their product.

The speech also noted that organisations should utilise the tools that are already available to them, on top of maintaining a focus on user awareness.

69% of Organisations Paid Ransoms, contributing to Inflation as Firms Increase Costs

According to a survey, 75% of respondents reported being targeted by ransomware in the past year, and of those, 69% paid the ransom. 54% of those who paid the ransom, suffered financial ramifications of $100,000 or more. It is unclear whether the research includes further implications such as regulatory fines, loss of work, reputational damage, and cost of down-time.

A separate study found that ransomware attacks costs are directly contributing to rising inflation in the UK, as businesses face an average increase of 17% to their costs following an attack. Cumulatively, 68% of the companies represented in the survey reported they had increased prices by at least 11% as a direct result of suffering an attack. In addition, of those falling victim to ransomware, 70% believed their business would have to close if they suffered another attack. When it came to the time lost to dealing with ransomware, companies took an average of two months to recover from an attack and 16% took between three and six months.

75% of Sports Related Passwords are Reused Across Accounts

According to a recent Bitwarden report, 33% of Americans have used a sports-themed password. This figure rose to 49% for those ages 18-34. Of those, 75% admitted to using it across multiple accounts. Password re-use a common issue globally: by re-using passwords, users are multiplying the likelihood of being breached by an attacker. Additionally, this can crossover to the corporate environment, where users’ personal breached credentials can be utilised to get into their corporate account.

Ransomware in 2024: Anticipated Impact, Targets, and Landscape Shift

As ransomware continues to rise, we can expect groups to evolve their attacks, operating on a larger scale for bigger profits, especially following large-scale supply chain attacks in the past 12 months. Ransomware has solidified its position as the predominant security threat in 2023, with a record number of victims. A recent report highlighted a 46% increase in cyber extortion and ransomware attacks compared to previous years. This trend shows ransomware evolving into a profitable microcosm, akin to a startup ecosystem, with more groups emerging as disruptors and newcomers. In response, organisations are increasingly turning to services that lend-out cryptocurrency, a frequent ransomware payment method. With changing tactics and the formation of new groups, it's crucial for leaders to prepare their 2024 security strategies now, ensuring they have a robust plan in place to counter ransomware threats to their organisations.

Ransomware, Vendor Hacks Push Breach Number to Record High

The world is experiencing a significant rise in data breaches, reaching a record high with more than 360 million individuals affected in the first eight months of 2023 in the US alone, according to a joint report from Apple and an MIT researcher. This alarming increase includes a notable surge in ransomware attacks, which have escalated by nearly 70% compared to 2022. The healthcare sector is particularly vulnerable, with 60% of organisations reporting ransomware attacks in 2023, an increase from 34% in 2021. The largest health data breach this year impacted 11 million people at HCA Healthcare. A critical factor in these breaches is the exploitation of third-party vendors, as seen in attacks on Progress Software's MOVEit and Fortra's GoAnywhere applications. These incidents highlight the urgent need for organisations to prioritise data security, especially in managing relationships with vendors, to protect sensitive information and mitigate the growing threat of cyber attacks.

Nuclear Hack Creates Rising Fears of Cyber Vulnerability in Critical Infrastructure

News of one of the UK’s most high profile nuclear power stations, Sellafield, being hacked, with fears that highly sensitive information has been accessible for years, has led to new calls for the UK to tighten up security of its vital infrastructure. Rather worryingly, The Guardian have added that it discovered that authorities were unaware of its first compromise, but it has been detected as far back as 2015.

Thousands of House Purchases Frozen by Cyber Attack; Will They Complete Before Christmas?

Conveyancing firms across the UK faced significant disruption when they discovered blank screens on their computers due to a problem originating from CTS, a cloud hosting provider widely used for legal applications. This unexpected issue led many within these affected firms to hastily purchase new laptops to regain partial access to emails and documents, but their case management systems remained largely inaccessible. Firms had to devise manual workarounds to keep transactions moving, amidst concerns about the safety of client data and funds. While most firms have found ways to progress with exchanges and completions, the reliance on cumbersome manual processes and limited access to client data and financial systems has more than doubled the workload. This situation raises several questions about the preparedness and resilience of paperless (or paper-light) office environments, the adequacy of backup systems, and potential compensation for those inconvenienced. The immediate focus, however, is on collaborative efforts to ensure as many clients as possible can move into their new homes before Christmas.

US Government Agency Was Hacked Thanks to 'End of Life' Software

The US Cyber security and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently issued a warning about two cyber attacks on an undisclosed federal agency, exploiting a vulnerability in outdated Adobe ColdFusion software. This software, now end-of-life, no longer receives updates, leaving the agency vulnerable and unable to apply security patches. The attacks, which occurred in June and July, appeared to be reconnaissance efforts to map the agency's network, with no evidence of malware installation or data exfiltration. However, it's unclear if the same hackers were behind both incidents. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint detected and limited the hackers' activities. This situation underscores the significant risks associated with running end-of-life software, highlighting the need for organisations to update or replace such software to protect against potential cyber threats.

Digital Transformation, Security Implications, and their Effects on The Modern Workplace

The vast majority of digital transformation projects will have implications for your cyber security, yet too often this is overlooked with the focus on delivery of the project or the functionality it will bring. Thinking about security after the fact is not only more expensive and less efficient, but can also mean dangerous gaps remaining open in the meantime. In this era, where remote work and public network access are prevalent, the lack of a robust cyber security framework significantly undermines the digital transformation process. Continuous employee education on digital threats and proactive cyber security measures are not just add-ons but essential components of a successful digital transformation. As businesses move towards 2024, integrating advanced cyber security practices is as crucial as adopting new technologies for a truly effective and secure digital transformation.

Third Party Breaches Shake up Energy Sector, with 90% Suffering from Third-Party Breach

With 90% of the largest energy companies globally experiencing a third-party breach in the past 12 months, it is no wonder the sector is shaken. In the US, 100% of the top 10 US energy providers suffered a breach and in total, 98% of the organisations in the research used at least one third party vendor that had experienced a breach in the last two years.

Third-party breaches are a concern for any organisation. It is important to know who has access to your organisation’s data, and what security controls they have in place to protect it. Organisations can benefit from firstly identifying who has their information and then conducting supply chain risk assessments to understand what information is held and how it is protected.

Report Reveals Sorry State of Cyber Security at UK Football Clubs

A new report reveals a concerning lack of cyber resilience within UK football clubs, extending from the Premier League downwards. The industry, increasingly targeted by cyber attacks, suffers from a disconnect between the perceived and actual risk levels. Key findings include a general lack of cyber maturity, outdated approaches to cyber security, and a scarcity of dedicated IT and cyber security roles, including Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). Despite significant financial investments in players, there's reluctance from club boards to allocate sufficient resources for cyber security. The report underscores the need for comprehensive training, increased awareness of security risks across all levels of club operations, and the hiring of dedicated cyber security professionals. This situation calls for an industry-wide standard for cyber security budgets, scaled according to the club's size and turnover, to adequately address these emerging digital threats.
