Key Findings
This year’s edition of the LUMINAR Annual Threat Intelligence Report provides insights about the
global threat landscape while analyzing major trends and threat vectors worldwide, including
ransomware attacks, exploitation of high-profile vulnerabilities and the exploitation of stolen
access credentials.
The following key findings from our report are indicative of the present threat landscape, and
can provide insight into what to expect in the upcoming year:
GenAI emerged as a key capability for threat intelligence, and is expected to continue to
develop throughout 2024 and beyond.
More than 40% of attacks documented targeted technology or governmental entities.
These organizations are attractive targets due to their valuable data, including sensitive
information and intellectual property.
50% of attacks documented were financially-motivated, with ransomware attacks by
attack groups considered a top threat vector.
The MOVEit flaw (CVE-2023-34362) was the most abused vulnerability by attack groups
in 2023.
Ransomware continues to be a top concern for organizations. Multiple new ransomware
variants emerged in 2023, including two, Rhysida and Akira, which were among the top 10
active ransomware groups in 2023.
Well-known info-stealers (Redline, Racoon, Vidar) dominate the stolen access
credentials threat vector (responsible for ~85% of infections), with new info-stealers
emerging, including Lumma, RisePro, and StealC.
