Based on data from millions of endpoints running HP Wolf Security, key findings include:
Alex Holland, Senior Malware Analyst in the HP Wolf Security threat research team, comments:
"Threat actors today can easily purchase pre-packaged, user-friendly malware ‘meal kits’, that infect systems with a single click. Instead of creating their own tools, low-level cybercriminals can access kits that use living-off-the-land tactics. These stealthy in-memory attacks are often harder to detect due to security tool exclusions for admin use, like automation.”
HP also identified attackers are “hazing” aspiring cybercriminals by hosting fake malware building kits on code sharing platforms like GitHub. These malicious code repositories trick wannabe threat actors into infecting their own machines. One popular malware kit, XWorm, is advertised on underground markets for as much as $500 USD, driving resource-strapped cybercriminals to buy fake cracked versions.
By isolating threats that have evaded detection tools on PCs – but still allowing malware to detonate safely – HP Wolf Security has specific insight into the latest techniques used by cybercriminals in the fast-changing cybercrime landscape. To date, HP Wolf Security customers have clicked on over 30 billion email attachments, web pages, and downloaded files with no reported breaches.
The report details how cybercriminals continue to diversify attack methods to bypass security policies and detection tools. Other findings include:
“While the tools for crafting stealthy attacks are readily available, threat actors still rely on the user clicking,” continues Alex Holland. “To neutralize the risk of pre-packaged malware kits, businesses should isolate high-risk activities, like opening email attachments, link clicks, and downloads. This significantly minimizes the potential for a breach by reducing the attack surface."
HP Wolf Security runs risky tasks in isolated, hardware-enforced virtual machines running on the endpoint to protect users, without impacting their productivity. It also captures detailed traces of attempted infections. HP’s application isolation technology mitigates threats that slip past other security tools and provides unique insights into intrusion techniques and threat actor behavior.
