About this session

In this webinar, we were joined by ESET Security Awareness Specialist, Ondrej Kubovič, who takes us through their latest threat report.

In H1 2023, an increasing number of previously popular attack avenues turned into dead ends. This forced many cybercriminals to go back to their drawing boards in search of new ways to reach their nefarious goals.

We explored several of these new attack vectors, including renewed interest in brute-forcing of exposed MS SQL services and abuse of OneNote files.

We also delve into the most interesting infosec stories, such as the first double supply-chain attack that affected Windows and macOS users, and the rapid increase in digital usury on Android.

And if you’re looking for a glimmer of hope, we offer more on the disruption of RedLine Stealer, and Emotet having a hard time navigating a new reality with stricter security rules in place.
