Online attackers are becoming so good at hiding themselves that they can remain undetected in victims’ computers for months before being found, potentially giving these criminals more time to inflict greater damage than if they were detected earlier, according to cybersecurity research firm CrowdStrike.

Cyberattackers remained undetected for an average of 95 days before discovery last year, compared with an average of 85 days in 2018, CrowdStrike said in a report made public Monday.
The sharp increase in dwell time “is not a metric that we want to see go up,” Tom Etheridge, CrowdStrike vice president of services, told CQ Roll Call.

The increase in dwell time last year seen by CrowdStrike may have been partly because it took on a larger number of international clients with weaker technological means to find attackers than their American counterparts, Etheridge said.
