With the complexity of the functions being a feature that is becoming more and more common in modern digital crime, Kaspersky Lab activated a new online service that gathers all available information on the most sophisticated malicious campaigns. In the interactive Targeted Cyberattacks Logbook all the research work of the recognized Worldwide Research and Analysis Group of Kaspersky Lab is presented.
"Four years ago, we could consider targeted digital campaigns as extraordinary events, but today we are investigating more and more incidents every year. They are no longer isolated events. Targeted attacks have found a special place in the world of digital threats and require special attention. This is the reason why we launched this new online service. We want to present the scale of sophisticated digital campaigns and provide a tool for assessing their growth and their reach. Only 2014, we recorded more than 4.400 victims of targeted attacks in the business sector, he said Alexander Gostev, Chief Security Expert of Kaspersky Lab.
The company's "online radar" includes a long-time survey of 29 large targeted attacks, including well-known campaigns such as Regin, Darkhotel, Cloud Atlas and others. Through the new service, users can explore the links between threats, trends and their impact or explore the behavior of specific threats.
Each digital attack appears on a timeline in the form of a shipy: the bigger the ship, the longer the time duration where the campaign is running. The "drift" behind the ship shows the time that elapsed from the detection of the first malware samples to the publication of the results of the research project. The color gradient indicates the number of victims.
The service makes it possible to track potential relationships between various digital campaigns, as well as to recovery λεπτομερούς πληροφόρησης σχετικά με κάθε μία από αυτές, όπως η γεωγραφία των «μολύνσεων», οι τρόποι με τους οποίους διαδόθηκε το κακόβουλο λογισμικό, οι στόχοι των ψηφιακών εγκληματιών και τα ειδικά characteristics of each attack. A handy filter helps classify attacks into categories, making it possible, for example, to identify attacks that only targeted information from private companies, in a specific country, using specific techniques.
