In addition, compared with the same period last year, extortion software attacks in the Americas and Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) almost doubled

the report highlights some key trends in this period:

variation of adware: fireball Malware with reliable quality has led to a major change in our policy of intercepting adware, especially those owned by large organizations that seem legitimate. At the same time, the mobile advertising software botnet is also continuing to expand and dominate the territory of mobile malware

cyber attack weapons of the nation-state: the leakage and subsequent availability of important hacker tools, zero day vulnerabilities, security vulnerabilities and attack methods of the nation-state enable any potential hacker to carry out complex attacks now

macro based downloaders continue to evolve: in the past six months, we have detected new ways to exploit Microsoft office file vulnerabilities, which has also given confidence to CISRI and its many research institutions and R & D personnel. These methods no longer require victims to open the door to attackers by enabling macros

a batch of new bank malware emerged: network criminals combined open-source bank malware code with complex confusion technology, successfully bypassing protection measures again and again, making it difficult to detect

c operational factors affecting impact intensity: Maya Horowitz, manager of heck point threat intelligence team, said: organizations are striving to effectively resist the large number of threats they are facing now. Hackers make malware more advanced, which greatly increases the ability of non-technical hackers to cause damage. Various network threats are prevalent, but many organizations still do not take correct security measures, only pay attention to detection methods, and do not implement proactive prevention solutions that can prevent attacks in advance

check point research team strives to keep hackers out by collecting and analyzing the global network attack data stored in check point thread cloud. Materials released by check point research, such as the network attack trend report, can promote dialogue around new network threats, trends, and other security related insights. Check point research aims to become a powerful resource for organizations to help them better understand the threat situation and protect themselves from cyber threats
