Mandiant Director Charles Carmakal offers insight into attack patterns based on recent breaches. “Attackers are commonly using outsourced service providers as a means to gain access to their victim targets,” he says. “Last year, 38 percent of our investigations that we conducted were associated with a re-compromise of our clients’ environments,” he adds. Strategic web compromises are on the rise, he says; too many holes remain unpatched, leaving breached organizations vulnerable to repeat attacks.”]
