Analyzing the trend of cyber-attacks from ransomware groups to national threat organizations by cybersecurity incidents in 2023

2023 was a rampant year for threat actors, as the maturation of ransomware as a service (RaaS) and the emergence of AI-enabled cybercrime tools (WormGPT and FraudGPT), these key factors made it easier for threat actors to acquire or develop cyber weapons. By observing the cyber incidents of 2023, we conducted an analysis of attack trends of 2023. This includes an overview of Ransomware as an Services’ (RaaS) attack trends and tactics in 2023, rising problems from supply chain compromises, and the global impact of country-level threat organization activities.
