A recent example is the misuse of AnyDesk by cybercriminals in the Akira ransomware attack on a Latin American airline. This incident highlights the importance of proactive measures to protect your network. At ThreatSTOP, we offer robust solutions to safeguard your digital assets against such threats.

The Threat: AnyDesk in Cyber Attacks

AnyDesk, a legitimate remote desktop software, has been exploited by cybercriminals to gain unauthorized access to systems. In the Akira ransomware attack, threat actors used AnyDesk to maintain persistence in the compromised environment, facilitating ransomware deployment and data exfiltration. This underscores the need for organizations to monitor and control remote access tools within their networks.
