A Look Back: The Evolution of Latin American eCrime Malware in 2024

The Latin American (LATAM) cybercrime landscape continues to evolve as adversaries refine their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to bypass defenses and expand their reach. Last year, we wrote a blog detailing our LATAM cybercrime observations throughout 2023. In this blog, we examine the significant updates observed in 2024 across prominent LATAM malware families, including Mispadu, Kiron, Caiman, Culebra, Salve and Astaroth.

How Electronics Parts Distributors Make Innovation in the Tech World Possible
