EVENTS/DAY

The first timeline of June 2022 is out. In the first half of the month I collected 109 events, corresponding to an average of 7.27 events/day, in line with the sustained level of activity that is characterizing the latest months.

And if, on one hand, the number of events related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine seems to be apparently decreasing (but the Anonymous collective and their affiliates are continuing their digital skirmish against Russian targets) on the other hand, the ransomware groups are back on the spotlight: in this timeline the percentage of events directly or indirectly characterized by ransomware soared to 26.8% from 18.3%. Similarly, vulnerabilities characterized 20.3% of events, as much as twice the percentage of the previous timeline (10%). A jump fueled primarily by the exploitation of the Microsoft ‘Follina’ vulnerability (CVE-2022-30190).

Unsurprisingly, attacks against Decentralized Finance platforms confirmed their impact on this 2022. In this timeline, the amount of funds stolen exceeded the equivalent of $130M. NFT collectors are equally an intriguing prey for threat actors, and this timeline was no exception.

In terms of cyber espionage, as always the landscape is quite rich of events: the Russian Sandworm APT targeted Ukraine with a new campaign, but this wasn’t obviously the only event. The timeline contains also campaigns carried out by old acquaintances such as SideWinder, Lyceum, Gallium, and APT35 AKA Phosphorous, or Charming Kitten). Additional campaigns unearthed in this fortnight were carried out by new groups such as Aoqin Dragon.

After this short summary, you can enjoy the interactive timeline. Thanks for sharing it, and supporting my work in spreading the risk awareness across the community. Also, don’t forget to follow @paulsparrows on Twitter, or even connect on Linkedin, for the latest updates.
