Privilege escalation: unravelling a novel cyber-attack technique
IT Security Guru
Cyber criminals are notoriously relentless and unforgiving in their quest to exploit vulnerabilities through ever-evolving tactics. Organisations may believe that their security frameworks are robust, but when confronted with unprecedented attack methods, nobody is entirely immune to infiltration.
Earlier this year, a multinational agriculture company learnt this the hard way when they fell victim to a novel technique called privilege escalation. S-RM’s Incident Response team was called in and quickly identified Akira as the ransomware group behind the breach. Since this technique was new and unknown, traditional security measures were rendered ineffective, allowing the attackers ample time to infiltrate systems, exfiltrate data, and inflict damage.
