The Noise Inside the Network: How an Unsophisticated Attack Exposed a Third-Party Risk

Unit 42 analyzes a cyberattack on a European bank's IT infrastructure and provides defense strategies. The incident demonstrates how third-party risks can be exploited through seemingly unsophisticated attack methods. The analysis aims to help organizations improve detection and mitigation of similar threats.

Why it matters: Banks and organizations relying on third-party vendors face exposure to attacks targeting supplier infrastructure; security teams should review their third-party risk assessment and network monitoring capabilities.
