Kaspersky experts analyze a recent ransomware incident and discuss why the hypervisor layer remains difficult to monitor, what common access paths adversaries use to reach it, and how to protect your ESXi systems.
This is the first article in a series on cloud penetration testing. We'll cover the three cloud layers (External, Overlay, and Underlay), common architectures (OpenStack and Kubernetes), typical attack chains, and real-world incidents.
We break down the Citrus Ransomware group's attacks: the attackers' TTPs and tooling, including VLESS traffic tunneling and LLM use, plus their links to Toy Ghouls.
A detailed breakdown of misconfigurations in virtual environment cybersecurity as shown by examples of ransomware cases on ESXi and Proxmox environments.
Kaspersky researchers analyze a complex fileless cyberattack by Storm-2603 involving ToolShell exploitation and subsequent runtime subversion, and discuss how to detect such intrusions.
We explain how Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks uses Machine Learning Event Processor (MLEP) technology to help take inventory of assets and detect anomalies in industrial networks.
We analyze a series of attacks on educational institutions that were fully automated during the post-exploitation phase using the CyberStrikeAI penetration testing framework.
