Multistage targeted ransomware attacks against critical infrastructure, designed to maximize damage and recovery costs, are increasingly common. The attack was captured by Cybereason's 2020 honeypot research.
Two researchers have created a solution that could help security researchers and IoT manufacturers with detecting zero-day exploits targeting internet-connected devices more speedily than ever before. It's called honware, and it's a virtual honeypot framework that can emulate Linux-based Customer Premise Equipment and IoT devices by using devices' firmware image.
A honeypot set up to observe the current security landscape in smart manufacturing systems observed numerous threats-including cryptomining malware and ransomware-in just a few months, highlighting the new threats that industrial control systems face with increased exposure to the internet. To further study these threats, researchers with Trend Micro simulated the fake smart factory system last year in what they called "Our most realistic honeypot to date," according to their report.
Trend Micro researchers have set up a factory honeypot and found that industrial organizations should be more concerned about attacks launched by profit-driven cybercriminals rather than the threat posed by sophisticated state-sponsored groups. The honeypot mimicked a factory and was designed to be as realistic as possible.
Trend Micro announced the results of research featuring a honeypot imitating an industrial factory. The highly sophisticated Operational Technology honeypot attracted fraud and financially motivated exploits.
The number of attacks on IoT devices in 2019 is nine times greater than the number found in the first half of 2018.
Lure possible attackers into a trap with a Kali Linux honeypot.
The attack traffic recorded by F-Secure's global network of honeypots tripled from the last six months of 2018 to the first six months of 2019. In H2 2018, the network recorded 813 million...
