Watching closely over 60 threat agents, who were responsible for digital attacks at a global level, the team of specialists of the company has written a a list of top emerging trends in the landscape of APT attacks. These include:
Fragmentation of larger APT groups: An increasing number of smaller factors threats is likely to lead to more attacks targeting businesses. Additionally, larger organizations are expected to face more attacks from a wider range of sources.
The proliferation of ART attacks in the "world" of digital criminals: The days when gangs of digital criminals focused exclusively on the theft of money by end-users have passed. Criminals are now directly attacking banks because that's where the money is. For this reason, they use APT techniques to implement complex attacks.
Targeting executives through hotel networks: Hotels are the perfect place to target high-ranking executives. OR team behind Darkhotel is one of the ART attacks that has been known to have turned against particular visitors during their stay in hotels.
Enhanced escape techniques: More and more APT groups will be concerned about the disclosure of their information. That is why they will take more advanced measures to protect their identity.
New data filtering methods: 2015, more teams are expected to use cloud services to make data editing (unauthorized data transfer from a computer) more unnoticed and more difficult to detect.
The use of "false flag": APT groups are expected to take advantage of the authorities' intention to “uncover the identities and deport" those suspected of attacks, using "false flag" methods, through which it will appear that the attack was carried out by some other person or entity.
"If 2014 can say that the attacks were" advanced, "then the evolution of 2015 can be said to be" inconceivable ". We believe that APT teams will evolve and become more "silent" and insidious in order to avoid their possible exposure. This year, we have already discovered APT agents using several zero-days software. We have also noticed new persistent and "silent" techniques. We have used these findings to develop and implement several new defense mechanisms for our product users, commented Costin Raiu, Director of Kaspersky Lab's Worldwide Research and Development Team.
