There are evolving tactical behavior from digital threat actors as they opt for different types of malicious attacks compared to years past. The IoT #malware (37%) and encrypted threats (22%) also is on the rise, the SonicWall Mid-Year #CyberThreat Report uncovers.

#Cybercriminals are diversifying and expanding their skill sets to attack critical infrastructure, making the threat landscape even more complex and forcing organizations to reconsider their security needs. Despite the decline in global ransomware attempts (-41%), a variety of other attacks have trended up globally, including crypto-jacking (+399%), IoT malware (+37%) and encrypted threats (+22%).

Overall intrusion attempts were up, led by the highest year on record for global crypto-jacking volume recorded by SonicWall, as threat actors shifted away from traditional ransomware attacks in favor of a stealthier means of malicious activities. The data suggests increased law enforcement activity, heavy sanctions and victims’ refusal to pay ransom demands have altered criminal conduct, and threat actors are targeting other means of revenue.
