Key Insights from Malaysia’s Cyber Threat Landscape for CISOs

  • Dark Web Activity Is Profit-Driven: Selling dominates dark web activity at over 56%, followed by sharing, reflecting a mature underground market for stolen data and access.

  • Data Theft Is the Primary Threat Vector: More than 75% of dark web threats involve stolen databases or structured data, indicating strong focus on information theft.

  • Access Sales Enable Follow-On Attacks: Around 20% of threats involve direct access to systems, networks, or accounts, supporting ransomware and fraud operations.

  • Ransomware Activity Is Highly Fragmented: Qilin leads among named groups, but most incidents originate from smaller, short-lived actors, increasing unpredictability.

  • Phishing Relies on Trusted Consumer Brands: Booking.com impersonation alone accounts for over 40% of phishing pages, with gaming and crypto brands used at lower levels.

  • HTTPS Abuse Reduces Detection Signals: More than two-thirds of phishing pages use HTTPS, making malicious sites appear legitimate.
