Advanced Persistent Threats vs Internet Service Providers

On April 18, 2020 I was supposed to participate as a speaker at the Malware Analyst Conference. The limitations resulting in Italy by the COVID-19 emergency, unfortunately, forced the organizers to cancel all scheduled dates for this event. However, I asked them for consent to publish the details relating to what would be my topic.

The information contained in this paper relates to what I observed throughout 2019 during my analysis and research activities. For my speech, I originally chose the telecommunications sector because it is a vital component for nearly every existing operating entity. Due to their critical role for today’s society, these organizations are now faced with a multitude of threats in the cyber landscape ranging from targeted attacks to malicious actions attributable to the criminal or activist world.
