Group-IB reveals Hi-Tech Crime Trends 23/24: surge in ransomware, leaks, and info stealers targeting Middle East and Africa

/in


(MENAFN– Active DMC) Dubai, February 28, 2024 — Group-IB, a leading creator of cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime, has presented a comprehensive overview of the cyber threat landscape in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) for the years 2023/2024 with the release of its annual Hi-Tech Crime Trends report. The report provides a thorough analysis of how cybersecurity challenges in the MEA region have evolved. In 2023, Group-IB’s researchers identified a 68% surge in the number of ransomware attacks, with financial services and real estate companies emerging as the most common victims. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, South Africa, and Turkey were the most frequently targeted locales by Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) affiliates. Information stealers pose a significant concern, impacting 297,106 infected devices in the MEA region whose logs were made available on Underground Clouds of Logs (UCL), and an additional 903,002 hosts, logs from which were put up for sale on underground markets. Additionally, 152 new data leaks were detected in the MEA region in 2023.

Nation-state sponsored hackers target MEA

Group-IB researchers discovered that the Middle East and Africa was a significant target for advanced persistent threats (APTs), also known as nation-state sponsored groups, last year. Overall, Group-IB attributed 523 attacks to nation-state actors across the globe in 2023. Attacks on MEA organizations accounted for 15% of the global total, numbering 77, with Group-IB experts asserting that this may be due to ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the region, along with MEA’s importance to the global energy market.

The top targeted locales in the MEA region in 2023 were Israel (14 attacks), Turkey (12) and the GCC region (8). Government and military organizations suffered the most APT attacks in the MEA region, totalling 20. Transportation (8 attacks) and telecommunications (7) were the second and third most targeted sectors, respectively.

Attacks coordinated by groups such as APT42, Oilrig and Hexane (all from MEA) reflect the desire of certain countries in the region to strengthen their…

Wallarm highlights disturbing trends in API security threats

/in


Wallarm has released its Q3 2023 API ThreatStats report which sheds light on the escalating threats targeting APIs and revealing vulnerabilities that have impacted industry giants such as Netflix, VMware, and SAP.

The report’s revamped ‘Top 10 API Security Threats’ compilation outlines 239 vulnerabilities discovered during the quarter, with injections taking the lead.

Injections involve inserting malicious data or code into APIs, leading to unauthorised access and data breaches. Notably, SQL and XML-based attacks were prevalent, underscoring the importance of robust security measures to prevent such breaches.

33 percent of the vulnerabilities (79 out of 239) were linked to authentication, authorisation, and access control (AAA). Well-established safeguards such as OAuth, single-sign-on (SSO), and JSON Web Token (JWT) were compromised in high-profile organisations like Sentry and WordPress.

Sentry, for its part, faced incorrect credential validation—potentially exposing developers’ projects to unauthorised access. WordPress suffered from plugin broken authentication, leaving millions of users’ data vulnerable to theft.

The report also spotlighted the concerning rise in API data leaks, ranking fourth on the list of security threats. Complex tech stacks have made these leaks more prevalent, with Netflix, VMware, and SAP falling victim.

Ivan Novikov, CEO of Wallarm, urged business leaders and cybersecurity professionals to acknowledge the gravity of these threats:

“Whether caused by malicious actors or internal carelessness, this report is a wake-up call for business leaders and cybersecurity professionals to include protection against threats to APIs and other leaks in their product security programs.

Established security frameworks, like OWASP API Security Top-10, are one way to get started but have limitations in addressing today’s complex API security needs. 

This real-time data-driven threat list complements and extends the OWASP framework by identifying unaddressed threats and vulnerabilities, enhancing overall security posture.”

Wallarm’s report serves as a wake-up call, urging…
