Key Insights from the Czech Republic’s Cyber Threat Landscape for CISOs
Dark Web Exposure Intensifies:
Selling dominates dark web activity targeting the Czech Republic, accounting for the majority of observed listings. Data and database leaks remain the most common threat type, while access listings highlight ongoing demand for footholds within corporate networks. This underscores attackers’ continued focus on monetizing stolen information and acquiring entry points for deeper intrusions.
Fragmented Ransomware Ecosystem:
Qilin, Hunters International, and FOG Ransomware emerge as the most active groups, but the overwhelming majority of attacks come from smaller or emerging actors. This fragmentation complicates detection, attribution, and long-term strategic planning, making continuous monitoring essential.
Phishing Campaigns Exploit Trusted Platforms:
Threat actors frequently impersonate widely used communication and productivity platforms—such as Telegram Web, WeTransfer, and prominent webmail services—to steal credentials from businesses and individuals. A sharp rise in HTTPS adoption among phishing sites further increases their credibility, requiring organizations to invest in stronger detection controls.
