Cyber Security Week in Review (March 1)
Summary: Cisco Talos reported a surge in cryptodrainer phishing attacks aimed at tricking cryptocurrency holders into divulging credentials, and recorded increased activity from the Lemon Duck cryptocurrency-mining botnet. The roundup also notes that adversaries continue to monetize intrusions through less intrusive methods than ransomware and big-game hunting.
Bottom line: Cryptocurrency holders are being targeted directly for their credentials, and the Lemon Duck botnet's increased activity shows mining-based monetization is still running alongside the ransomware attacks that get the headlines.
