2022 RTF Global Ransomware Incident Map: Attacks continue worldwide, groups splinter, education sector hit hard
According to ecrime.ch data, confirmed ransomware incidents occurred in 105 countries, originating from 58 ransomware groups. This number is relatively consistent with last year’s data, in which we calculated that incidents impacted organizations in 109 countries and documented at least 60 distinct ransomware families. Though the overall statistics remain relatively consistent from last year to this year, there is more to the story: new trends in the ecosystem include the shifting dynamics of ransomware groups, the rise of the education sector as a key target, and the trends in geographic distribution of attacks.
The Rust Security Response WG and the crates.io team were notified on 2022-05-02 of the existence of the malicious crate rustdecimal, which contained malware. The crate name was intentionally similar to the name of the popular rust_decimal crate, hoping that potential victims would misspell its name (an attack called "typosquattin
Move, Patch, Get Out the Way: 2022 Zero-Day Exploitation Continues at an Elevated Pace
* Mandiant tracked 55 zero-day vulnerabilities that we judge were exploited in 2022. Although this count is lower than the record-breaking 81 zero-days exploited in 2021, it still represents almost triple the number from 2020. * Chinese state-sponsored cyber espionage groups exploited more zero-days than other cyber espionage actors in 2022, which is consistent with previous years. * We identified four zero-day vulnerabilities exploited by financially motivated threat actors. 75% of these instances appear to be linked to ransomware operations. * Products from Microsoft, Google, and Apple made up the majority of zero-day vulnerabilities in 2022, consistent with previous years. The most exploited product types were operating systems (OS) (19), followed by browsers (11), security, IT, and network management products (10), and mobile OS (6).

“MasquerAds” — Google’s Ad-Words Massively Abused by Threat Actors, Targeting Organizations, GPUs and Crypto Wallets
A newly uncovered technique to abuse Google’s ad-words powerful advertisement platform is spreading rogue promoted search results in mass. Pointing to allegedly credible advertisement sites that are fully controlled by threat actors, those are used to masquerade and redirect ad-clickers to malicious phishing pages gaining the powerful credibility and targeting capabilities of Google’s search results. Adding customized malware payloads, threat actors are raising the bar for successful malware deployments on Personal PCs with ad words like Grammarly, Malwarebytes, and Afterburner as well as with Visual Studio, Zoom, Slack, and even Dashlane to target organizations.
