Recorded Future

13,000. That’s the number of ransomware victims Recorded Future has observed over the past two years. Watching the near-real-time ransomware attacks on businesses, non-profits, and government agencies has left me, like many security professionals and board directors, pondering how and why cyber defense keeps losing this particular fight. Adversaries like Interlock and RansomHub have continued their successful march to riches over the past 18 months.

Key Takeaways Modern threat actors have shifted from brute-forcing firewalls to compromising digital identities via stolen session cookies and credential stuffing to bypass MFA entirely Adversaries increasingly target unpatched edge infrastructure like VPNs for zero-day access while exploiting open-source repositories to launch upstream supply chain attacks Traditional internal security telemetry may miss critical pre-attack signals, making real-time, outside-in threat intelligence essential...

Key takeaways Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are sophisticated, long-term cyber campaigns conducted by well-funded human adversaries (often nation-states) who target specific organizations for espionage, data theft, or critical infrastructure disruption. Traditional security tools often fail because APT groups bypass signature-based defenses by using customized malware and Living-off-the-Land (LotL) tactics that mimic legitimate user activity inside the network.

Every fraud investigator knows the pattern: the fraudulent charge is the first thing anyone notices and the last thing the attacker actually does. Before it posts, malicious infrastructure has been stood up, credentials have been harvested, payment data sold, and mule accounts lined up to move the money. So the transaction is not the attack. It is the receipt.

Summer ‘26 vibes: international flights, Riyadh heat, and plentiful CISO conversations. Every conversation (regardless of geographic location or industry vertical) currently begins and ends with AI strategy. Let’s unpack the nuance. Every executive should be contemplating two questions at this moment: Are we building, testing, and scaling agents for the coming onslaught of AI-enabled adversary activity? Do we have the breadth of intelligence necessary to move at machine speed? Why Agents and Why Now?

Enterprise security architectures have never been more heavily funded, yet the perimeter is functionally obsolete. Despite multi-million dollar investments in next-generation firewalls and complex defense stacks, sophisticated adversaries slip past automated boundaries every day. They don't break in; they log in, embedding themselves silently into the background noise of normal business operations.

In the previous article in our series on Recorded Future’s unique data sourcing model, we detailed the four types of data we analyze and how, together, they provide unprecedented visibility into each of our customers’ unique threat landscapes. In this final article, we’ll show how our Insikt Group research team turns our raw data into actionable intelligence.

How the tactic works Getting a brand-new scam domain to rank highly in search results normally requires expensive search engine optimization work. By embedding redirects on legitimate, well-ranked sites, scammers can route organic traffic to purchase scam domains without needing to invest in SEO themselves. The Payment Fraud Intelligence team has observed that scammers are using a consistent four-step pattern: Gain unauthorized access to a legitimate website.

Four Critical Source Types. One Platform. Recorded Future is the Only Threat Intelligence Vendor that Collects and Analyzes Across Four Types of Data Sources. When a critical vulnerability emerges, most organizations scramble for answers. What’s being exploited? Who’s targeting it? Are we exposed? During the emergence of the React2Shell vulnerability, one Recorded Future customer didn’t rely on speculation.
