One of the most lethal and most profitable hacking groups in history is also using one of the easiest credential theft techniques in the book and was run by children.

Amassing over $115 million dollars in ransoms, this group has been targeting very large companies and has brought a few airlines to their knees. Using primarily social engineering and phishing, they would infiltrate networks and ransomware the companies.

This group used multiple phishing and social engineering techniques:

  • IT Helpdesk

  • SIM Swapping

  • Multi-factor authentication push bombing

  • Credential phishing

All of these are 100% eliminated with Allthenticate products.
