SA experienced the single longest-running cyberattack campaign monitored around the world by e-mail and data security company Mimecast between July and September.
“SA experienced the single longest running campaign from July 8-15 2019 in any region during this quarter; the campaign employed a complex and varying array of generic Trojans‚ significant threats‚ exploits and file types.”“Threat actors seek numerous ways into an organisation — from using sophisticated tactics‚ like voice phishing and domain spoofing‚ to simple attacks like spam‚” said Josh Douglas‚ vice-president of threat intelligence at Mimecast.
The SA Banking Risk Information Centre confirmed in October that the banking industry had been hit by a wave of ransom-driven distributed denial-of-service attacks. ZIP files accounted for 34% of file compression format attacks — consistently the most detected format due to reliance on human error.
