Cybersecurity threats have evolved from “smash, grab and run” to “enter, turn off all alarms, hide in the basement, and stay awhile.”

That’s one of the conclusions that can be drawn from Fortinet’s Inc.’s latest “Threat Landscape Report,” a quarterly temperature reading produced by FortiGuard Labs of the most recent global cybersecurity threat activity. The report, released earlier this month, noted that threat activity increased 4% over the same period in 2018.

“We’ve seen an uptick in Zegost activity,” said Tony Giandomenico (pictured), senior security strategist and researcher, FortiGuard Labs, at Fortinet. “They’ll have their threat there for a little while and they’ll go dormant. Then they’ll come back bigger, faster, stronger.”
