The emergence of new Advanced Persistent Threat actors, the use of updated tool kits, and the creation of new malware variants along with the adoption of fresh techniques by cybercriminals were found to be the key trends in the cybersecurity landscape in Q2 2023. New threat actors belonging to the ‘Elephants’ family, operating in the Asia-Pacific region, dubbed “Mysterious Elephant” were found using new backdoor families to target victims. BlueNoroff a financial attack-focused subgroup of Lazarus, was found to be using new delivery methods and programming languages, including the use of Trojanized PDF readers in recent campaigns, the implementation of macOS malware, and the Rust programming language, the report said. New actors were also found to be using previously unknown iOS malware to conduct zero-click iMessage exploits, David Emm, principal security researcher at Kaspersky’s Global Research and Analysis Team said.
