Last week on Malwarebytes Labs, the spotlight fell on the State of Malware 2021 report, wherein we have seen cyberthreats evolve.

We also touched on ransomware, such as Egregor and a tactic known as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) brute forcing that has long been part of the ransomware operators’ toolkit; insider threats, such as what Yandex recently experienced with one of its own sysadmins; romance scams; and put social media under scrutiny—looking at you, Clubhouse and Omegle; some wins for the good guys; and course, Cyberpunk 2077.
