More malware on the rise – cybergangs are using new malware Bumblebee

Research has shown that cybergangs are moving on (for the time being) from BazarLoader to other malware designated Bumblebee.

The researchers have timed this change to the compromise of information and operations relating to the Conti cybercriminal gang – who were key in BazarLoader.

This research highlight the inevitable situation with cybersecurity. When the vendors and us have defences and training to combat their current attack – without any fanfare the cybergangs move onto other malware and attacks. These new attacks and malware bypass the hard won mitigation we have and the vendors have to start looking for the new malware and then fixing everyone’s defences.
