Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

A Secureworks study shows that ransomware dwell time - from initial access to deployment - in two-thirds of the cases analyzed had fallen to 24 hours, down from 4.5 days in 2022, and in 10%+ of cases, under 5 hours. This is consistent across variants and groups, highlighting the speed of modern attacks and how hard it is to react, as shorter dwell time doubles the overall extortion with data theft.
