Over the past seven years, Flashpoint has observed a significant rise in the use of infostealer malware. Their simplicity, vast availability, and low costs have made them extremely popular among threat actors, making infostealers an increasingly primary vector for ransomware and other high-impact data breaches. Last year, threat actors using stealers and other illegal tools stole over 7 billion personal records, including social security numbers, financial information, and account credentials. The reality is, even one compromised credential can lead to a data breach or cyberattack. In January 2024, a major European telecommunications company experienced a massive network outage affecting around half of its network’s traffic. The root cause was traced to a single weak password exposed by infostealer malware. 🛡 3 Ways to Protect Your Business: ✔️ Strengthen Your Defenses: Use multi-factor authentication and strong passwords to add extra layers of security. ✔️ Stay Vigilant: Regularly monitor illicit marketplaces for stolen logs linked to your organization. ✔️ Leverage Flashpoint: Our platform provides real-time insights and custom alerts, helping you stay ahead of emerging threats. Read our latest blog for a closer look at the infostealer malware landscape and how you can protect your organization: https://lnkd.in/e9NUuAKh #Infostealers #Malware
