TrickBot is a banking trojan that was first detected in September 2016 and since that time had been developed to incorporate the targeting of multiple geographies and online services. The malware was developed to gain unauthorized access to customer bank accounts to facilitate fraudulent transactions, but also targeted users of online services such as Salesforce and cryptocurrency services. The malware was reportedly delivered via spam emails containing malicious attachments, including those distributed by the Necurs botnet, and via the RIG exploit kit. In some cases, TrickBot used an exploit called EternalBlue (affects CVE-2017-0144) or Windows API calls to propagate in a local network. The functions and activities of TrickBot are reportedly very similar to the Dyre banking trojan, and it was assessed by researchers to be linked to this trojan, including that at least one of the developers of Dyre was involved in the development of TrickBot.

Integrity360 has deployed our Incident Response Team to support a number of clients who may be affected by the ransomware attack widely reported on in Irish media.

Our teams are committed to supporting the wider health community, as well as our clients and advise all organisations of the need to increase vigilance within your own environment in relation to this attack.

According to Wired, ransomware is one of the fastest growing threats in cybersecurity, with global damages predicted to reach £15 billion by 2021.

One-third of all cyber attacks in 2020 can be attributed to three main ransomware groups, Ryuk, Maze and Sodinokibi. Other key trends for 2020 ransomware include threats of data exfiltration and publication.

In the world of cyber security, every year seems pretty long.

5 of the biggest trends hitting cyber security right now

For an industry dominated by computers and servers, cyber security in general is about as shapeless as sand. Hackers and security specialists alike bring something new to the table every day and it’s up to businesses to stay on top of it all.

The cloud is great, but it’s also dangerous in the wrong hands.

The world’s CIOs, CSOs and CISOs are focused on preventing the next big cyber-attack. The international cyber security community is more interested in the lack of action some companies are taking to reach that goal.

If you laid the source code of all the malware strains in the world together, it would probably wrap around the world a few times over.

2017 was a landmark year for cyber attacks with hundreds of millions of people affected around the world. According to the Breach Level Index report, nine billion records have been breached since 2013 – with nearly two million of those in the first six months of 2017 alone.
