As the world braces for a pandemic-ridden winter, Covid-19 appears to be losing steam at least in the cybercrime arena. With coronavirus-related lures played out, crooks seem to have gone “back to basics” in Q3 2020. An area where the effects of the pandemic persist, however, is remote work with its many security challenges.

The ransomware scene, closely tracked by ESET specialists, saw a first this quarter — an attack investigated as a homicide after the death of a patient at a ransomware-struck hospital.

This quarter’s research findings were rich, with ESET researchers uncovering much. This report also brings exclusive, previously unpublished ESET research updates, and more. ESET also continued to contribute to the MITRE ATT&CK knowledge base.

Happy reading, stay safe – and stay healthy!
