Help Net Security – In a new report, NSFOCUS introduced the IP Chain-Gang concept, in which each chain-gang is controlled by a single threat actor or a group of related threat actors and exhibit similar behavior among the various attacks conducted by the same gang. Researchers analyzed attack types, volume, size of events, gang activities, and attack rates. By studying the historical behavior of the 80 gangs identified in the report, NSFOCUS built several unique gang profiles to analyze their preferred attack methodologies and how to develop a better defense system against future attacks.
