Coveware’s Ransomware Attacks Report for Q4 2020

🚨 AI Image Scaling Under Threat

Prompt injection attacks are now targeting AI image scaling tools, tricking models into performing unintended tasks.

Even seemingly safe AI systems can be manipulated through subtle input changes, exposing data or altering outputs.

Organizations using AI for creative or operational processes must anticipate these vulnerabilities.

AUMINT.io strengthens both human and AI defenses with simulations, training, and dashboards.

⚠️ AI Malware Is Outpacing Traditional Defenses

Vibe Coding malware autonomously generates self-modifying code to bypass detection.

This new AI-powered threat adapts in real time, rendering traditional antivirus and static defenses nearly obsolete.

Employees remain the most critical vulnerability – phishing, compromised endpoints, and human error are the easiest gateways for attackers.

AUMINT.io helps organizations strengthen human defenses with advanced simulations, personalized training, and real-time dashboards revealing hidden risk areas.

🚨 Google Captive Portal Attack Hits China

Attackers exploited Wi-Fi login portals to steal credentials, compromising millions of users.

Public networks, including airports and hotels, can be deceptively dangerous.

Social engineering and human trust remain the weakest link in cyber security.

AUMINT.io strengthens the human layer with realistic attack simulations, tailored training, and dashboards.

⚠️ Cyberattacks Exploit Organizational Hierarchy

Companies with lower-tier employees on critical response paths face greater disruption during attacks.

Decision bottlenecks and unclear responsibilities give attackers the upper hand, prolonging recovery.

Middle and lower-level teams are often the first line of defense, yet most exposed to social engineering and phishing.

Without proper training, human error allows malware and ransomware to spread unchecked across the organization.

AUMINT.io empowers all levels of staff with social engineering simulations, awareness programs, and executive dashboards to improve response times and reduce exposure.

Hierarchy should not dictate your company’s cyber fate – Book Your AUMINT.io Intro

🚨 Fake Ads Are Spreading Android Malware Faster Than Ever

Attackers are using fake Meta ads to trick users into downloading Brokewell malware.

This malware gains device access, steals sensitive data, and bypasses traditional defenses.

The risk extends to organizations – infected employee devices can compromise networks and confidential data.

Human trust is being exploited – social engineering tactics are central to these attacks.

AUMINT.io fortifies your human layer with simulations, training, and monitoring dashboards to prevent infections.

⚠️ Ransomware Is Targeting Both IT and OT

Ransomware attacks are now exploiting the convergence of IT and OT networks, hitting operational systems and business IT simultaneously.

Legacy OT devices often lack modern security, creating easy entry points for attackers.

Once inside, ransomware can propagate across networks, locking critical systems and threatening operations.

Human error and social engineering remain top vulnerabilities, with attackers leveraging AI-enhanced tactics to deceive employees.

Many organizations are underprepared – insufficient monitoring, outdated protocols, and lack of employee awareness leave critical systems exposed.

AUMINT.io provides advanced simulations, training, and real-time dashboards to help teams detect, respond, and prevent ransomware attacks across IT and OT systems.

⚠️ Storm0501 Ransomware Hits Azure Cloud

Attackers are exploiting Azure cloud vulnerabilities with Storm0501 ransomware, encrypting data and demanding ransoms.

Organizations face severe disruption as backups and critical processes are targeted.

Cloud-specific weaknesses like misconfigured storage and weak authentication make these attacks more effective.

Human error remains a key vulnerability – even sophisticated clouds can be compromised if employees are unprepared.

AUMINT.io strengthens human defenses with simulations, tailored training, and dashboards to prevent ransomware escalation.

🚨 AI Cyber Threats Are Already Inside Your Organization

Most organizations are unprepared for AI-driven cyberattacks.

86% of executives reported AI-related security incidents last year, yet only 4% of organizations can effectively defend against them.

Nearly half of employees use unsanctioned AI tools, and 60% of organizations cannot detect Shadow AI activities.

From identity management to endpoint reliability and cloud hardening, most companies are still in the early stages of implementing necessary protections.

These gaps leave your organization exposed to highly sophisticated AI-based attacks.

At AUMINT.io, we provide tailored simulations, employee training, and dashboards to strengthen defenses across all critical areas.

🚨 AI in DevSecOps Can Hide Critical Security Risks

AI accelerates DevSecOps with automated testing and smarter code generation.

But hidden vulnerabilities and subtle errors can sneak in, creating the illusion of security.

Human oversight is crucial – social engineering and insider threats exploit AI-generated weaknesses.

AUMINT.io strengthens your human defenses with tailored simulations, ongoing awareness, and risk dashboards.

AI alone is not enough – human vigilance is your strongest safeguard: Book Your AUMINT.io Intro

⚖️ Law Firms: The Cybersecurity Wake-Up Call You Can’t Ignore

💡 Cybercriminals are treating law firms like open vaults – and the numbers prove it.

📂 Client contracts, financial data, and intellectual property are now the most lucrative targets, and attackers know firms often lag behind banks or tech companies in security.

📧 The most shocking truth? Hackers are bypassing technical defenses by exploiting people. Lawyers, partners, and staff are being hit with highly personalized phishing campaigns disguised as clients.

🔥 One breach can lead to millions in losses, reputational collapse, and shattered client trust. The legal industry is at the center of the storm – and many firms are unprepared.

🔑 The fix is not just firewalls or software updates. It is building a human shield through recurring awareness, simulations, and proactive defenses tailored to law firm workflows.

🚀 That is where AUMINT.io comes in. Our Trident platform simulates real-world attacks, trains teams to spot them, and delivers leadership dashboards that expose hidden risks.
