Rise in ‘brute force’ attacks on VPNs

The past four weeks have seen a sharp global increase in ‘brute force’ attacks on virtual private network (VPN) services, which supply private networks using encryption over the internet. ‘Brute force’ attacks use trial and error to crack passwords, login credentials, and encryption keys. New life has been breathed into what is an old hacking technique with widely available software using artificial intelligence (AI) that can carry out large numbers of attempts automatically. 

Cisco Talos Intelligence Group reports a sharp rise worldwide in this type of attack against targets, including virtual private network (VPN) services and web authentication interfaces.

“Cisco Talos has been actively monitoring a global increase in brute-force attacks against a variety of targets, including Virtual Private Network (VPN) services, web application authentication interfaces, and SSH services since at least March 18, 2024. The traffic related to these attacks has increased with time and is likely to continue to rise,” predicts Cisco Talos

Cisco’s US$28 billion acquisition of cybersecurity firm Splunk is the largest acquisition in the networking giant’s history. It is now being seen as a clear signpost for the future value of cybersecurity companies worldwide.

Businesses turn their back on GenAI

The reaction of businesses to the introduction of generative AI (GenAI) in the year since the launch of Microsoft-backed ChatGPT is one of increasing suspicion and disappointment.

Over one in four organizations have banned the use of GenAI outright. The majority of companies are now also refusing to trust a technology that has already gained a reputation for making errors and even entirely fabricating information, a failing that is referred to as “hallucinating”.

According to Cisco’s newly-released 2024 Data Privacy Benchmark Study, 68 percent of organizations mistrust GenAI because it gets results wrong and 69 percent also believe it could hurt their company’s legal rights. The study draws on responses from 2,600 privacy and security professionals across 12 geographies.
