Prime Cyber Insights: Patch in Hours or Get Owned—Exploits Lead Intrusions as Ransomware Forums Fall
Exploited vulnerabilities now drive a major share of intrusions, with attackers weaponizing bugs within hours—while the FBI’s seizure of the RAMP ransomware forum signals pressure on the criminal ecosystem, not its disappearance.
Today on Prime Cyber Insights, we track how intrusion economics are shifting—faster exploit cycles, slower enterprise patching, and a major disruption in ransomware coordination spaces.
- ⚠️ Vulnerability exploits become a leading initial-access path—and attackers move within hours of disclosure.
- 🛠️ Why enterprise patch timelines still stretch into months, and what “hours-level” patching actually requires.
- 🎣 Phishing remains a top entry point—plus what internal follow-on phishing teaches about email compromise.
- 🚔 The FBI seizes the RAMP forum: what a takedown changes, what it doesn’t, and the attribution/OPSEC risks for users.
- 🛡️ Practical defensive moves: exposure reduction, MFA hardening, logging readiness, and containment-first playbooks.
