💡 API Abuse and Enumeration
Modern attacks increasingly target APIs rather than traditional web interfaces. Attackers enumerate endpoints, test for broken authentication, and exploit excessive data exposure. API attacks are harder to detect as they mimic legitimate programmatic access patterns.
💡 Initial Access Broker Marketplace
Initial access brokers specialize in gaining entry to corporate networks and selling that access to ransomware operators. This specialization creates an efficient criminal marketplace where compromised credentials and VPN access are traded as commodities.
