Group-IB CEO Dmitry Volkov opens #CyberCrimeCon21!
Group-IB CEO Dmitry Volkov has for the first time inaugurated CyberCrimeCon👏 The company’s mission for the past 18 years has remained unchanged. Its simplicity contains the company’s enormous efforts in fighting cybercrime.
Dmitry, without further ado, has presented Group-IB’s brand new visual concept. Our company has been seeking to be a concise and comprehensible brand in each of the regions of its presence — this is reflected in the concise mission and the simple color spectrum that has black and white that symbolize confrontation. Another key visual belonging to the new design is a neon ray that runs through the digital and physical world just like a hero’s path that is followed by anyone who chooses fighting as their mission.
Dmitry has stressed that the main idea behind Group-IB’s image was masterminded and developed by Ilya Sachkov. “We just had to get the job done,” commented Dima. Let’s meet Group-IB’s new logo!

Group-IB presents "Hi-Tech Crime Trends 2021/2022. Part I. Uninvited guests: the sale of access to corporate networks.”
❗️The sharp increase in the number of offers to sell access to compromised corporate networks has become one of the underlying trends on the cybercrime arena recently. Group-IB experts have identified several factors contributing to the rapid growth of the initial access market.
🔺One such factor was the emergence of Fxmsp, a hacker who first appeared on underground forums in 2017. Posts about selling access to corporate networks had appeared on dark-web resources back then, but they had been rare and not streamlined. Fxmsp was the first to focus on gaining initial access for the purpose of selling it.
🔺Demand creates supply. The principle also applies to the sale of initial access to compromised networks. Beginning in 2019, there was a sharp increase in the number of ransomware attacks, the first stage of which
is gaining access to a company’s network. This fueled demand for initial access and bolstered the rise of initial access markets.
🔺The third factor furthering the rise of initial access markets is the low threshold to enter the industry. The fact that tools for conducting full-fledged attacks against corporate networks are widely available means that underground actors can make money with little effort. The market for initial access has been flooded with low-skilled threat actors who, despite their poor knowledge of the technical aspects involved, pose a threat to companies.

Group-IB presents the second volume of its Hi-Tech Crime Trends 2021/2022 report “Corporansom: threat number one” ⚡️⚡️⚡️
In the first 11 months of 2021, more than 60% of all the incidents investigated by Group-IB concerned ransomware. This number is expected to grow, with the number of public affiliate programs growing by 23% in H2 2020 – H1 2021 compared to the corresponding period a year earlier.
Over the review period, RaaS gangs increased the conversion by posting compromised data online on their Data Leak Sites (DLS). It has become very popular, with the number of victims whose data has been published on DLSs having grown by 935% in H2 2020 – H1 2021.
The report represents the first attempt to provide a retrospective analysis of how the ransomware cyber empire evolved and shed light on how businesses worldwide lose millions of dollars to cybercriminals. In this report, we look into how and why the ransomware industry has developed, provide in-depth analyses of certain affiliate programs from within, and share statistics on the countries and industries that are attacked most often.
