Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities

These are constant threats that we see and are focused on disrupting.

Industrial IoT Vulnerabilities

Cryptocurrency Vulnerabilities

Smart Contract Exploits

• Vulnerabilities in DeFi protocols (e.g., reentrancy, flash loan attack)

  • The DAO hack, Poly Network hack, Wormhole bridge exploit

Phishing & Social Engineering

• Targeting wallet users or exchange employees

• Fake wallets, phishing websites, and impersonation scams

Exchange & Hot Wallet Breaches

• Hot wallets targeted due to constant internet connection

• Weak internal security at exchanges or insider threats

  • Mt. Gox, Coincheck, BitMark hacks

Supply Chain Attacks

• Injecting malicious code into libraries used in wallet apps or DApps

  • npm package compromise

Cryptojacking

• Malware that hijacks computing resources to mine crypto without consent

Legacy Systems & Unpatched Devices

• Older SCADA systems with little to no built-in security

• Lack of firmware updates or endpoint hardening

Network Misconfiguration / Lack of Segmentation

• Attackers pivot from IT to OT networks due to poor segmentation

Ransomware / Malware Infiltration

• Often from phishing, removable media, or exposed remote access

  • Notable breach: Colonial Pipeline

Insecure Remote Access (VPN, RDP, VNC)

• Often exploited via stolen credentials or brute-force attacks

Third-Party Supplier Compromise

• Vendors with remote access are used as entry points

• Targeting of maintenance software

  • SolarWinds-style supply chain

Defense Vulnerabilities

Healthcare Vulnerabilities

Ransomware

• Healthcare is a top target due to time-sensitive operations

  • WannaCry (NHS), Ryuk, Conti targeting

Phishing & Social Engineering

• Used to gain access to systems, often leading to ransomware deployment

• Phishingemails targeting doctors, nurses, and administrators

Unsecured Medical Devices / IoT

• Devices like infusion pumps, imaging systems, and other medical equipment with default credentials or open ports

Data Breaches / Insider Threats

• Patient data theft for idenity fraud or for sale on the dark web

  • Anthem breach, Community Health Systems breach

Exposed Databases / Misconfigured Cloud Storage

• Medical records leaked due to misconfiigured AWS buckets or unsecured databases

Advanced Persistent Threats

• Specific and adaptive cyber attack targeting high-value targets such as military units, defense contractors, and defense agencies

  • Solarwinds breach

Insider Threats

• Malicious or negligent insiders with unauthorized data access or leaking of secret data

Weak Endpoint Security

• Exploited through unpatched devices or insecure remote access

• Critical issues in Zero Trust areas

Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

• Compromised hardware, software, or service vendors

  • Tampered firmware in networking equipment

Communication Interception / Signal Spoofing

• Malicious parties intercepting or mimicking communications
