Hola Hackers today we are going to discuss about operation methodologies of various Threat Actor Groups who are constantly attacking on Media and Entertainment Industry. Media and Entertainment is one of the industry which is always been in the radar of the Threat Actors. In recent years many cyber attacks happened on Media and Entertainment Industry most of the attacks are not reported and never went public because of the organisation reputation.
The global market size of the media and entertainment industry is around $1989.55 billion and the market size of the Indian media and Entertainment is more than 1.6 trillion Indian rupees.
When it comes to Media and Entertainment industry digital assets will add up and the CyberSecurity risk will be high.
Before attackers used to exfiltrate the organisation data, ransomware and DDOS attacks but these days Threat actors went a step ahead and stole “The content from the post production house before the release” these attacks usually happens when the Threat Actors take the advantage of the outdated softwares, pirated softwares or by exploiting any kind of vulnerabilities which are present in organisation network and insider threat is also one of the major risk.
In 2017 Threat Actors stole the digital copies of the Web-Series called “Orange Is The New Black” which was streaming in Netflix from past 2013, when the organisation was not able to meet the demands of the Threat Actors they made the content public through file sharing service.
Most of the attacks happens from China based Threat Actor groups. MITRE corporation listed some of the Threat Actor groups name “Numbered Panda”, “IXESHE”, “DNSCALC”, and “Palmerworm”. These are the groups which attacked on Media industry.
Piracy is the major risk for the media industry. But the top Media and Entertainment industries are really taking good security measures to mitigate the piracy risk.
