Since launching in 2015, MITRE’s ATT&CK framework has been the cybersecurity industry standard for understanding cyber-attacks and their kill chains. Now the BLADE framework is set to develop a similar understanding of business logic attacks fueled by malicious bots. In this post, we will look at why MITRE ATT&CK is so important and examine why BLADE is needed now more than ever.

Cryptocurrency and blockchain are two of the hottest trending topics in the financial and tech worlds, with interest in Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and even Dogecoin exploding in recent years. This growing interest in cryptocurrencies has made them a target for fraudsters. But it’s not just the popularity of crypto trading that has criminals chomping at the bit. The nature of blockchain currencies makes them highly susceptible to fraudulent activity.
Since many brick-and-mortar stores closed during the Covid-19 pandemic, online shopping has grown massively through 2020 and into 2021. Fraudsters have seized this opportunity to strike, with data breaches in 2020 exposing over 155.8 million records, which could be used fraudulently, in the US alone. Carding is one of the most common and costly types of online fraud.
Table of Contents PC gamers have long been frustrated by the rising cost of top-performing graphics cards, fueled in part by GPU-hungry cryptocurrency miners. It’s a dream scenario for scalpers, but can it be stopped? As experts in malicious bot activity, we talk a lot about scalpers at Netacea. Our Head of Threat Research Matthew Gracey-McMinn has even appeared on US news channels to talk on the subject.
ECommerce security protects your company and customer data from cyber-attacks and malicious bots. As an eCommerce business owner, you must ensure that all data is handled securely to avoid a breach. Poor eCommerce security can have many negative impacts on a business. Customer trust relies on great customer experience, and when customers enter their personal details into your website, they expect it to be protected.
There are more than 250,000 merchants using the Magento open commerce platform around the world, resulting in millions of users accessing a Magento website every day. That was before the Covid-19 pandemic hit and drove a colossal surge in online activity and, unsurprisingly, consumers significantly exceeded spending predictions. In 2019 there were two days of digital sales that reached $2 billion, and in 2020 there were more than 130.
Scalpers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, not just in their use of advanced bots, but also in less obvious ways to get a hold of their desired goods. Here at Netacea we are dedicated to preventing fraud by monitoring, identifying and stopping malicious bots in their tracks. We are so steadfast in this goal that we have even created a MITRE ATT&CK style framework that defines automated attack kill chains – NetBLADE (Netacea Business Logic Attack Definition).
