Ransomware groups, such as Play (also known as Playcrypt), were among the most active groups in 2024 and use advanced methods like double extortion, first exfiltrating data and then encrypting systems, often targeting critical infrastructure globally. Initial access frequently begins with human elements, as phishing remains the top entry point for malware and compromised credentials, which are then used by threat actors leveraging tools like Mimikatz or Cobalt Strike for lateral movement. To reduce the risk of compromise, organizations are urged to apply cyber hygiene essentials: prioritizing known exploited vulnerabilities, consistently updating software, and deploying phishing-resistant Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all services.
