According to Nasdaq’s 2024 Global Financial Crime Report, losses from fraud and bank schemes reached a staggering $485.6 billion globally last year alone. Integration of deep OSINT into cybersecurity frameworks provides financial institutions a major strategic advantage. It enhances risk management, fortifies customer asset protection, and ensures regulatory compliance—critical amidst evolving cyber threats. Unlike traditional OSINT, deep OSINT extends its reach to the deep and dark web, uncovering vast amounts of critical information—up to 1 trillion identity assets—that could otherwise remain hidden.

We have noticed an alarming increase in major data breaches, with millions of records being exposed and shared on dark web forums. This resurgence has largely been driven by the spread of infostealers – malicious software designed to gradually and unobtrusively steal sensitive information from infected devices without the victim’s awareness. This wave of cyberattacks, along with the resurgence of the names of these former hacking groups/users, raises the question of whether we are entering another “golden age” of mass leaks, similar to what we experienced a few years ago. Rachel Hamasaki Jason Wagner Alberto C. To learn more, check out this analysis of how infostealers operate. It reveals that their modus operandi typically involves certain threat actors developing these tools as a service:  https://lnkd.in/eKbQSEa3 #infostealers #databreaches #constella
