In partnership with the Australian Federal Police, New Zealand Police, Google, and the UK's National Crime Agency, today we have released a new advisory on crypters and the growing role they play in cybercrime.
Crypters are becoming an increasingly important part of the cybercriminal ecosystem. As security technologies improve, attackers are turning to services that help malware avoid detection and remain effective for longer.
The advisory provides insight into a threat that affects organisations across sectors and borders. It examines the tactics, services and criminal business models that support malware-enabled attacks, while highlighting the challenges they create for cyber defenders.
Readers will gain a deeper understanding of:
- The growing market for crypter services within cybercriminal communities.
- How crypters contribute to more effective malware campaigns.
- The broader impact of crypters on cyber security and threat detection.
- Practical measures organisations can take to improve resilience.
By bringing together expertise from government, law enforcement and industry partners, this advisory offers a unique perspective on a challenge that continues to evolve alongside cybercriminal tactics.
To learn more how crypters work, why they pose a risk, and practical steps to take to strengthen cyber security and improve threat detection, read the full advisory on Digital camouflage: crypters make malware undetectable.
