"Hackers Employ Nuanced Tactics to Evade Detection"

According to Cequence Security, the months that lead up to the 2023 holidays revealed a shift in threat actors' tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) against major retailers. Attackers demonstrated their sophistication, persistence, and careful planning. Gift card fraud increased by 110 percent in the second half of 2023 alone, while scraping, loyalty card fraud, and payment card fraud increased by a combined average of over 700 percent. Cequence Security researchers say these attacks are correlated and spiked together because those parts of the website, applications, and associated Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are associated, especially regarding attacks. Retailers were not experiencing isolated brute force-style attacks but rather sophisticated attacks from adversaries with various TTPs. This article continues to discuss recent findings regarding the evolution of threat actors' tactics.
