itman · Jul 4, 2018

Appears your best protection against e-mail threats is to make sure all your patches are up to date. Unfortunately, there appear to be a lot of corps. out there that still haven't "got this message."

What we can glean from a 2018 roundup of current web-threats is old vulnerabilities die hard. In a report, released by Palo Alto Networks Unit 42, researchers said so far this year cybercriminals are targeting unpatched PCs with ancient CVEs and well-known exploit kits.

Here is a ThreatList from the research firm’s Current Trends in Web-based Threats report, released last month.

In the first quarter of 2018, Unit 42 found 1583 malicious URLs across 496 different domains. Attackers used at least eight old and public vulnerabilities. The Top 3 CVEs used are:

CVE-2014-6332: Vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer’s VBScript

CVE-2016-0189: Vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer’s VBScript

CVE-2015-5122: Vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player

Unit 42 also reported of the 1,583 URLs found in malicious emails it examined, 1,284 were exploit kit related.

How are they a top risk when mostly IE is being targeted? And Flash will soon also be a thing of the past.
