🕵️♂️Group-IB carried out a deep dive into exposed digital assets discovered in 2021. Our Attack Surface Management team identified 308,000 incidents of databases exposed to the open web. The number of public-facing databases kept growing almost every quarter since the beginning of 2021 to reach a peak in Q1 2022.
💻The consequences of an exposed database range from a data breach to a subsequent follow-up attack on the employees or customers whose information was left unsecured.
👨💻But there's some good news: a lot of the security incidents can be prevented with very little effort and a good toolset. Group-IB’s intelligence-driven Attack Surface Management solution leverages the full breadth and depth of Group-IB’s threat hunting and intelligence gathering ecosystem by discovering all external-facing IT assets, identifying potential vulnerabilities and prioritizing issues for remediation.

Crypto scammers cashing in on Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial.
Remember Group-IB’s report about crypto scammers who made $1.6 mil on fake YouTube streams? The scammers ran 36 fabricated cryptocurrency giveaway YouTube streams that attracted more than 165,000 viewers.
Well, they are back now. Having updated some tactics they are now trying to capitalise on the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard’s live court case.
Using a fake YouTube channel called "Johnny Depp" broadcasting the trial (viewed by 17K), crypto scammers are driving traffic to their rogue website. They demonstrate a QR code above the stream prompting the users to double their cryptocurrency. The QR code leads to a scam website musktesla2022[.]com with instructions on how to "get rich". The scammers use the name of Elon Musk and the logo of Tesla as baits.
Stay vigilant!

Аccording to Group-IB's report "Ransomware Uncovered 2021/2022", exploitation of public-facing RDP servers once again became the most common way to gain an initial foothold in the target network in 2021.
47% of all the attacks investigated by Group-IB DFIR experts started with compromising an external remote service. Spear phishing emails carrying commodity malware on board remained second (26%).
In general, many ransomware affiliates relied on living-off-the-land techniques and legitimate tools during the attack lifecycle. Commodity malware was often used to start post-exploitation activities via loading frameworks such as Cobalt Strike (observed in 57% of the attacks).
However, some ransomware gangs were seen trying very unconventional approaches. Want to learn more? Check out our new report👈
