What Is Dwell Time In Cybercrime?
Dwell Time is the number of days, months, or even years that have passed before a discovery of unlawful access.
In some cases discovery is NEVER made as those securing fail to look at critical DNS, PKI, and Servers. Many systems are constantly and unknowingly accessed with threat actors ‘Living off the Land’ indefinitely.
Yesterday, a major Stock Exchange that trades a Billion shares a day and who suffered a cyberattack in 2018 were completely unaware, until we informed them, that their IPv4 servers were compromised. These servers manage their critical domains which hid a spurious, unlawful Chinese domain/redirect.
We are not privileged to confirm, nor deny if that same inserted Chinese domain was the cause of the 2018 cyber incident, however, it certainly went unnoticed and unknown about for some period of time, possibly many years.
Our reward – after addressing ‘The Chinese Domain’ is to now be ignored, gaslighted, and communications removed in an attempt to hide errors, negligence, and incompetence to cover their tracks. That includes their CEO.
