To launch more successful cyberattacks, malicious actors with different specialized skills have conglomerated to form Cybercrime as a Service (CaaS).<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re now seeing people and groups specialize in various parts of the attack lifecycle. This means that we\u2019re likely going to see less mistakes made leading to detections, and we should expect multiple groups colonizing an infected network.<\/p>\n<p>Within CaaS there are four types of cyber crime groups:<\/p>\n<p>Thinking from an incident response mentality, this means they will have to identify these different groups completing specific aspects of the overall attack, making it tougher to detect and stop attacks. Identifying the commonly used tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) can help CISOs and security leaders strengthen their cybersecurity strategy and minimize risk.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">Types of Cyber Crime Groups<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Trend Micro Research analyzed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/vinfo\/tmr\/?\/us\/security\/news\/cybercrime-and-digital-threats\/investigating-the-emerging-access-as-a-service-market\">Access as a Service (AaaS)<\/a>, a service offering in the undergrounds whereby malicious actors are selling access into business networks.<\/p>\n<p>AaaS is composed of individuals and groups that use numerous methods to obtain remote access into an organization\u2019s network. There are three types of AaaS sellers:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Opportunistic actors who noticed a demand and decided to turn a profit.<\/li>\n<li>Dedicated sellers\u2014their full-time job is gaining and selling access. They even market their services and leverage their extensive network to make sales.<\/li>\n<li>Online shops, which typically only guarantee access to a single machine, not a network or corporation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Groups who specialize in gaining access to networks and then purposely selling it to others are more worrisome as their access is usually solid and ensures their buyers that they can deliver their service. Both types of AaaS actors can be troublesome, but the latter is certainly the group that will trouble more organizations due to the complexity of attributing the initial attacker.<\/p>\n<p id=\"ransomware\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/ciso\/22\/a\/organized-cybercrime-what-cisos-need-to-know.html\">Organized Cyber Crime Cases: What CISOs Need to Know<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Credited as one of the reasons ransomware attacks continue to increase, RaaS has enabled less-skilled hackers to launch costly attacks on large organizations \u2013 like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techtarget.com\/whatis\/feature\/SolarWinds-hack-explained-Everything-you-need-to-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SolarWinds<\/a> \u2013 by providing the necessary tools and techniques.<\/p>\n<p>This newfound accessibility has led to a dramatic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/vinfo\/tmr\/?\/us\/security\/news\/ransomware-by-the-numbers\/lockbit-conti-and-blackcat-lead-pack-amid-rise-in-active-raas-and-extortion-groups-ransomware-in-q1-2022\">63.2% increase of RaaS extortion groups<\/a> in the first quarter of 2022.

This relatively new type of cyber crime had increased in the last two years. Trend Micro Research observed an uptick in malware actors holding public contests in the criminal underground to find new creative attack methods.<\/p>\n<p>Some contests will seek talent (like The Voice or American Idol), but these are rarer. Most contests are seeking knowledge; they\u2019re looking for technical articles on new attack techniques, vulnerabilities, etc. And yes, a prize \u2013 or even multiple \u2013 are awarded to the best or most innovative technical proposal. Oftentimes the requests are more generic versus limiting the topic to a specific domain.<\/p>\n<p>Trend Micro Research anticipates an increase in the number of crowdsourcing competitions, which in turn will accelerate criminal innovation. And such evolutions do not need to be major; small tactical wins can allow criminals to bypass current defenses.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/vinfo\/tmr\/?\/us\/security\/news\/cybercrime-and-digital-threats\/from-bounty-to-exploit-cybercriminals-use-crowdsourcing-for-new-attacks\">From Bounty to Exploit: Cybercriminals Use Crowdsourcing for New Attacks<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">Cybersecurity Defense Strategies<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So, how can you address the different types of cyber crime groups? Unfortunately, enterprises can\u2019t jump into the cybercriminal underground and stop crowdsourcing. But they can work to prevent or limit the scope of the outcome by implementing a cybersecurity defense strategy that focuses on detecting and preventing the initial access breach.<\/p>\n<p>The earlier you can detect the initial access of an attack, the more likely you can prevent the following components of the attack lifecycle from occurring, like ransomware. Here are other components to consider when creating an effective security strategy:<\/p>\n<p>1. <b>Partner with a security vendor that leverages global threat research<\/b> to constantly monitor public breaches and bulletproof hosting services in the criminal underground. This ensures your solutions are optimized to defend against the latest threats. Additionally, by proactively locating and blocking the bulletproof hosting infrastructure, defenders can block attacks in the earlier stages of the kill chain.<\/p>\n<p>2. <b>Follow a zero trust approach<\/b> to network security by implementing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/ciso\/22\/h\/secure-access-service-edge-sase-security-company.html\">SASE architecture<\/a>. SASE is composed of Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Secure Web Gateway (SWG), and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) capabilities to strengthen protection and control across the attack surface.<\/p>\n<p>3. <b>Establish an<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/ciso\/22\/i\/incident-response-services.html\">incident response (IR) playbook<\/a> to surface any security gaps. Make sure your IR teams or vendor understand the multi-attacker scenario and know where to focus their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>4. <b>Establish a<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/ciso\/22\/h\/patch-management-process-best-practices.html\">strong patch management strategy<\/a> to limit the scope of exploits. This should include identifying the most relevant patches, making a zero-day exploit plan, communicating with vendors, and utilizing virtual patching.<\/p>\n<p>5. <b>Leverage trusted cybersecurity frameworks<\/b> for <a href=\"https:\/\/gist.github.com\/technion\/65c652194fb1427e6828ea23ff46d280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">password best practices<\/a> like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA). The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisecurity.org\/controls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Center of Internet Security (CIS)<\/a> provides thorough guidance on prioritization and resource management, as well as filling any gaps that could be exposed by attackers.<\/p>\n<p>6. <b>Use a<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/ciso\/22\/d\/attack-surface-management.html\">unified cybersecurity platform<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/ciso\/21\/l\/why-xdr-is-necessary-in-todays-attack-landscape.html\">XDR capabilities<\/a> to help consolidate and correlate threat activity across endpoints, cloud, networks, email, etc., for more visibility.<\/p>\n<p>For more insights into types of cyber crime groups and how to strengthen your defense strategy, check out the following resources:<\/p>\n<p> Read More <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trendmicro.com\/en_us\/ciso\/22\/k\/cyber-crime-group-types.html\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the four main types of cyber crime groups: access as a service, ransomware as a service, bulletproof hosting, and crowd sourcing as well as tips to strengthen your defense strategy.
