Security News > 2023 > November > Sekoia: Latest in the Financial Sector Cyber Threat Landscape

Phishing, infostealer malware, ransomware, supply chain attacks, data breaches and crypto-related attacks are among the top evolving threats in the financial sector, says Sekoia.

A new report from French-based cybersecurity company Sekoia describes evolutions in the financial sector threat landscape.

The attack specifically targeted banking and financial services and originated from a compromised trusted vendor, showing an evolution in the BEC threat landscape.

As 94% of organizations in the financial sector use open-source components in their digital products or services, the sector can be affected by attacks leveraging compromises in the open-source software supply chain.

Supply chain attacks specifically targeting the banking sector have also been reported, showing that some threat actors have the capability to build sophisticated attacks against the sector.

Some attacks targeting the financial sector are fully aimed at financial gain, but others might aim at cyberespionage.
