Security News > 2021 > February > Malware Gangs Partner Up in Double-Punch Security Threat

Cybergangs are joining forces under the guise of affiliate groups and "As-a-service" models, warns Maya Horowitz, the director of threat intelligence research with Check Point Research.

Several malware gangs have paired up over the past year - such as the FIN6 cybercrime group and the operators of the TrickBot malware.

So Maya in terms of what you're seeing, what are some of the most active cybercriminal threat groups or APT groups that we should be on the lookout for this year?

The leading malware or the leading threat group for 2020 was Emotet.

We don't know at which extent yet but, at least for now, this malware is not a threat.

MH: Well, threat vector threat actors exploit vulnerabilities in both technology and in people.
