November 2021 was the first time IAB access was sold, but for the majority of 2022 it was predominantly pursuing ransomware.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s possible that the latest advert for insider access is Everest attempting to cut out insider access for its own attacks, a move that could lead to greater profits generated by ransomware attacks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Organizations of all kinds are optimizing their business models, and where they see unnecessary costs, cutting it,&#8221; said Harry McLaren, head of security engineering at SenseOn.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Threat actors are no different, and in an increasingly competitive space, cutting out the IABs could improve their financial returns. Direct attacks from threat actor to victim was the historic method used by all threats and are still used by many APTs to minimize awareness or discoverability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As regards the potential success of attracting insiders for attacks, Everest will likely have to spend time vetting any respondents to its advert.<\/p>\n<p>Attempts to leverage insiders <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2021\/03\/19\/musk_crimes\/\">don&#8217;t always work<\/a>, as was the case when the FBI stymied what could have been a highly lucrative attack on a major US target in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>If this is a bid to forgo IABs and pursue a more direct route, experts think cybercriminals won&#8217;t have the easiest time as the pool of potential willing targets, in most organizations, would be fairly small.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While it is hard to predict how many insiders inside organizations will be willing to sell access to them, the probability is definitely not zero,&#8221; Alexey Kleymenov, threat intelligence manager at Nozomi Networks Labs, told <em>The Register<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For example, we all heard stories where disgruntled employees were attempting to cause damage to their organizations as a form of revenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\">Attracting insiders<\/h3>\n<p>The tactic of getting disgruntled or otherwise rebellious employees isn&#8217;t new and was adopted by various cybercriminal groups over the years, such as LockBit.<\/p>\n<p>According to a 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bravurasecurity.com\/resources\/graphics\/malware-employees-approached-by-pulse-0-0\" rel=\"nofollow\">survey<\/a> by Pulse and Bravura Security, 65 percent of corporate executives had been contacted directly by ransomware criminals to help facilitate access into their employers&#8217; networks.<\/p>\n<p>Promises of large payouts are made to professionals in exchange for facilitating access for the thieves or deploying the ransomware themselves.<\/p>\n<p>An investigation by Abnormal Security in 2021 <a href=\"https:\/\/abnormalsecurity.com\/blog\/nigerian-ransomware-soliciting-employees-demonware\" rel=\"nofollow\">revealed<\/a> that someone alleging to be part of the Demonware gang offered 40 percent of the total proceeds of a successful attack in exchange for deploying the ransomware.<\/p>\n<p>In an initial exchange, Demonware offered a fake persona adopted by the researchers a sum of $1 million in Bitcoin after assuming they would be able to successfully ransom an organization for $2.5 million.<\/p>\n<p>Further conversations revealed that when initial phishing attacks targeting executives fail, criminals then turn to insiders for access. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
