Summary

CrowdStrike has developed a comprehensive approach to understanding and combating eCrime by focusing on the human actors behind cyberattacks, rather than just the malware itself. This method involves creating detailed profiles of eCrime actors by analyzing their operational behaviors, the services they offer, and the ecosystem in which they operate. CrowdStrike's eCrime intelligence model highlights the interconnected nature of criminal services and schemes, providing insights into how these actors monetize their activities and interact within the underground economy. The company exemplifies this approach through the case study of BOSON SPIDER, a group responsible for the CoreBot banking trojan, which used sophisticated tradecraft and affiliate models to exploit financial institutions. By expanding its eCrime intelligence offerings, CrowdStrike aims to equip businesses with the knowledge to better understand and disrupt these threats, thereby protecting against financial, reputational, and data losses.
