COCOS Group’s strategic partner fights for global cyber security

COCOS Group was always proud to introduce values of fair business, cooperation, and preventing fraud.

In order to resist the spread of attacks conducted by the Silence group of hackers worldwide, one of our strategic partners, Group-IB, has decided to openly publish their analytical reports on Silence’s activities in the public domain.

According to incrussia.ru, the latest report by Group IB covers the period from May 2018 to August 1, 2019. During this time, Group-IB Threat Intelligence recorded at least 16 new Silence campaigns aimed at banks in different countries, including Russia. According to analysts, in 2019, the geography of Silence attacks became the most extensive for the entire existence of the group. Hackers infected workstations in more than 30 countries in the Asian region, Europe and the CIS. In June 2019, hackers conducted a series of attacks on Russian banks.

The Group-IB co-owner, Daniel Levin, is a Board Advisor of COCOS Group and one of the co-founders in its most important partner project, DESO Club.
