"In our work studying cybercriminals, we see they are often motivated and emboldened by media attention and engagement. In this case, we saw them reach out directly to high profile media to celebrate their activity. This emphasizes the need to study and report on the behavior of criminal actors to ensure everyday people and organizations are equipped with education and intelligence to combat threats, versus over accentuating the threat actor themselves," says John Fokker, Head of Threat Intelligence at Trellix.
"We can anticipate a significant increase in disinformation and phishing attacks as the United States prepares for early or mail-in voting in the 2024 elections. The majority of these attacks will likely come from cybercriminals spreading disinformation about how and where to vote. This year's phishing campaigns may be more sophisticated and widespread, as non-native English or Spanish speakers will be able to leverage large language models to produce realistic messaging," says Kayne McGladrey, IEEE Senior Member.
