Not only do cybercriminals make money by committing cybercrime, but they also expand their operations by offering services to individuals without strong technical skills in malware development. This business model is known as Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS), and it operates on various sites of the "shadow" internet, including the Darknet. MaaS generates stable profits, enabling cybercriminals to maintain a team and continuously improve their services to carry out attacks on companies and individual users.

Through our research, we have identified 97 families of malware that have been distributed in the MaaS format – or "by subscription" – over the last seven years. These families include ransomware, various loaders, backdoors, botnets, and infostealers. In this webinar, Alexander Zabrovsky, Digital Footprint Analyst at Kaspersky, will delve into the inner workings of MaaS in the Darknet and address the most relevant issues:

- How did malware become a full-fledged product, and how did the "subscription" model become a new standard for cybercriminals?
- Why has YouTube become one of the key platforms for distributing malware? Who are traffers, and what is their function?
- Which families of malware are mentioned most often in the Darknet, and how does the Darknet services market depend on the news agenda?

Unveiling the Darknet's Malware-as-a-Service model

This presentation will cover the methodology and measures organizations could take to prevent ransomware. It represents real-world practices, based on ransomware attacks statistics and deep analysis of ransomware groups TTPs.

Ransomware Prevention Strategies

In today's media landscape, we consistently encounter news of companies falling victim to cyberattacks, resulting in the exposure and sale of their data on the dark web. The wide array of data available on the dark web market, including internal databases, infrastructure access, and compromised accounts, presents a pervasive problem that affects businesses of all sizes. These breaches and related incidents don’t only disrupt operations and damage reputations, but they can also result in substantial fines and legal consequences.

According to Kaspersky, nearly half of the organizations that faced data breach incidents in 2022 lacked contact person responsible for handling such incidents. About one-third either failed to react, denied the incident, or showed indifference to their data being traded on the dark web. Only a few were adequately prepared to respond.

At our upcoming webinar, Anna Pavlovskaya, an expert at Kaspersky Digital Footprint Intelligence, will present a comprehensive guide to setting up a system that monitors dark web threats and navigating the aftermath of an incident. You will gain insights into:

- Structuring the incident response process, including the approach, necessary steps, and the specific roles assigned to the team members responsible for the process.
- Identifying the types of data commonly offered for sale on the dark web and understanding the differing response strategies based on these data categories.
- Effective communication with the media, customers, partners, shareholders, top management, and other parties involved.
- Strategies for rapid incident identification, investigation, response, and recovery from an incident or preventing it from occurring.

Modern cars employ a wide array of communication interfaces. Some, like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, directly engage users, while others, such as RDS and GPS, provide user-facing services, and still others, like CAN and Ethernet buses, ensure the proper functioning of the car's internal systems. These interfaces contribute to the extensive flow of data within the car, forming its data flow graph. Within this graph, they serve as the "entry points" for malicious attackers seeking access to the vehicle. However, tampering with them does not necessarily lead to the loss of the car's security features.

In this webcast, cybersecurity experts, Alexander Kozlov and Sergey Anufrienko from Kaspersky's ICS CERT, will delve into the automotive security. Together, we will examine:

- We'll explore which interfaces attackers tend to favor when targeting cars and the reasons behind their choices.
- We'll focus on the techniques attackers employ when conducting attacks through specific interfaces, with an emphasis on classical techniques.
- We'll discuss how to defend against these threats and evaluate the feasibility of reducing associated risks.
