Cyber-Threat Report regarding November 2020 cyber attacks in Italy


Available new November 2020 Report on Cyber threats and attacks in Italy by TG Soft's Anti-Malware Research Center




 

Overview of threats in Italy in November

November saw a slight decrease in cyber attacks and a slight decrease in the number of malware clusters compared to October.

Emotet was the big absentee this month. Its malspam campaigns ceased on October 31, and in November it merely updated its form.

Emotet's absence brought to the fore AgentTesla, Ursnif e LokiBot.

AgentTesla e LokiBot are password stealers used by several cyber actors in Italy. Ursnif has been very active with many campaigns in November.

Other password stealers and RATs stood out this month and they are: Ave_Maria, FormBook e AdWind. This month we have seen an increase in ransomware attacks, many of them carried via RDP or VPN. Among them we can include VoidCrypt, Dharma, Phobos, Matrix e LockBit.

Integrate the defense of your PC/ SERVER to detect attacks from actually circulating viruses/malware

We report that all really circulating viruses/malware are identified and, in many cases, even removed by Vir.IT eXplorer Lite -FREE Edition- thanks to the following special features:
  • freely usable in both private and corporate environments with Engine+Signature updates without time limitation;
  • Interoperable with any other AntiVirus, AntiSpyware, AntiMalware or Internet Security already present on PCs and SERVERs. We recommend to use it as a supplement to the AntiVirus already in use as it does not conflict or slow down the system but allows to significantly increase security in terms of identification and remediation of infected files;
  • Identifies and, in many cases, even removes most of the actual circulating viruses/malware or, alternatively, allows them to be sent to the C.R.A.M. Anti-Malware Research Center for further analysis to update of Vir.IT eXplorer;
  • Through the Intrusion Detection technology, also made available in the Lite version of Vir.IT eXplorer, the software is able to report any new-generation viruses/malware that have set in automatically and proceed to send the reported files to TG Soft's C.R.A.M..
