Fortinet 2025 全球資安威脅報告： 亞太區漏洞利用嘗試次數占全球 42% 武器化 AI 加劇網路攻擊

台北訊 - 2025年5月14日

 - 

 

全方位整合與自動化網路資安領導廠商 Fortinet®（NASDAQ：FTNT）旗下威脅情資中心 FortiGuard Labs 今（14）日發布《 2025 全球資安威脅報告 》。報告概述了 2024 年的網路威脅狀況與趨勢，並根據 MITRE ATT&CK 框架分析，發現攻擊者越來越常運用自動化、商品化以及 AI 工具，透過搶先偵查漏洞目標、使用漏洞工具包、竊取憑證並針對關鍵產業、雲端及物聯網攻擊，系統性削弱了傳統資安防禦的優勢。此份報告不僅揭露最新攻擊手法，亦特別納入「CISO 防禦行動指南」，期盼助力 CISO 與資安團隊領先部署最新防禦。

Fortinet 台灣區總經理吳章銘表示：「從 FortiGuard Labs 2025 全球資安威脅報告中可以看到，網路犯罪者正在加速升級攻擊行動，藉由 AI 自動化技術展開快速且大規模的攻擊，過去的防禦措施逐漸無法有效抗衡當前的網路威脅。Fortinet 偵測全球超過 970 億次的漏洞利用嘗試，其中亞太區占比 42%，仍是全球風險最高地區。建議企業組織必須轉向由情報驅動的主動防禦、導入 AI、零信任架構與持續性威脅曝露管理，以利在快速進化的網路威脅趨勢下提前做好防禦準備。」

FortiGuard Labs《2025全球資安威脅報告》關鍵發現：

• 攻擊者搶先偵查漏洞目標，自動化掃描每月達數 10 億次：
  為更快速刺探出企業組織新出現的安全漏洞，網路犯罪者正在全球大規模部署自動化掃描。2024 年全球網路主動掃描活動達歷史新高，與 2023 年相比增長 16.7%，相當於每秒有 36,000 次的掃描活動，顯示攻擊者正以高度組織化方式，收集網路基礎設施的弱點資訊。FortiGuard Labs 每月觀測到數 10 億次掃描，發現攻擊者積極透過 SIP（VoIP協議）、RDP，以及 Modbus TCP 等 OT/IoT 通訊協議，針對金融、通訊、OT/ICS 等產業。
   
• 暗網市場助長漏洞利用工具包普及，全球漏洞年增 39%：
  2024 年，網路犯罪論壇逐漸發展為成熟的漏洞利用工具包交易市場，美國國家漏洞資料庫（National Vulnerability Database）新增超過 4 萬筆漏洞，較 2023 年成長 39%。除了零時差漏洞之外，初始存取掮客也開始大量販售企業憑證（20%）、RDP 存取（19%）、管理介面（13%）與網頁後門（12%）。此外，FortiGuard Labs 觀察到，受 Infostealer 惡意程式感染系統的記錄檔暴增 500%，共計 17 億筆憑證資料被流傳至暗網。
   
• AI 使網路犯罪規模急速擴張，憑證成犯罪貨幣、竊取紀錄年增 42%：
  威脅者利用AI提升釣魚攻擊的擬真度，並規避傳統偵測，使欺騙性更高且難以被察覺。FraudGPT、BlackmailerV3、ElevenLabs 等工具，讓威脅者更肆無忌憚發動大規模、高擬真、具影響力的攻擊行動。2024 年，駭客也在暗網論壇上分享了超過 1,000 億筆竊取記錄，年增 42%。這波激增主要來自「組合列表」（combo lists），內含遭竊的用戶名稱、密碼與電子郵件資料，超過一半的暗網貼文涉及資料庫洩漏，使攻擊者可大規模發動自動化憑證填充攻擊。BestCombo、BloddyMery、ValidMail 等活躍網路犯罪集團，降低了入侵門檻，促使帳戶盜用、金融詐騙與企業間諜行為激增。
   
• 針對製造、醫療和金融等關鍵產業的攻擊持續加劇，已知漏洞的修補為當務之急：
  製造、醫療與金融等關鍵產業，仍持續為針對性攻擊的目標，攻擊者分別對各產業特性進行特定類型的漏洞利用行動。2024 年最常遭攻擊的產業為製造業（17%）、商業服務（11%）、建築營造業（9%）與零售業（9%）。國家級與勒索即服務（RaaS）攻擊者，皆集中火力攻擊這些垂直領域 。此外，企業組織針對已知漏洞的及時修補仍是關鍵，根據 Fortinet 入侵防禦系統（IPS）感測器偵測和分析超過 970 億次的漏洞利用嘗試，多數是針對早已揭露的漏洞而來，如 Windows SMB 資訊洩漏漏洞（CVE-2017-0147）、Apache Log4j 遠端程式碼執行漏洞（CVE-2021-44228）與 Netcore Netis 裝置內建密碼漏洞（CVE-2019-18935）。
   
• 雲端與物聯網環境風險升高，70% 雲端事件來自陌生位置登入：
  雲端服務如今已成營運核心，而身分識別也成為關鍵的安全防線。透過 FortiCNAPP 遙測顯示，攻擊者透過利用高權限帳號、公開原始碼儲存庫中的憑證洩露，以及雲原生服務橫向移動。在 70% 事件中，攻擊者是由陌生位置登入行為來入侵，凸顯身份監控在雲端防禦中的重要性。物聯網設備亦為攻擊焦點，佔所有漏洞利用行為的 20% 以上，包括路由器、監控攝影機和防火牆等，若使用過時的韌體或預設帳號密碼，便容易被攻擊者納入殭屍網路，被利用於橫向移動或取得持續存取權限。

「CISO防禦行動指南」五大策略：搶先主動防禦、提升應變韌性

FortiGuard Labs《2025年全球資安威脅報告》不僅揭露最新攻擊手法，亦特別納入「CISO防禦行動指南」，助CISO與資安團隊領先部署防禦策略，五大方向包含：

• 由傳統威脅偵測轉向持續性威脅曝露管理（CTEM）：
  採用持續攻擊面管理、模擬攻擊者行為、以風險導向的修補優先順序與自動化防禦。定期使用漏洞與攻擊模擬（BAS）工具測試端點、網路與雲端防禦，可有效提升企業組織韌性、對抗橫向移動與漏洞利用。
   
• 模擬演習以應對真實攻擊：
  執行紅隊、紫隊演練與攻擊者行為模擬演習，運用 MITRE ATT&CK 測試對勒索軟體與間諜活動的防護能力。
   
• 降低攻擊面的暴露：
  部署攻擊面管理（ASM）工具，偵測外洩資產、憑證與可被利用的漏洞，同時持續掌握暗網新興威脅。
   
• 優先處理高風險漏洞：聚焦網路犯罪社群中被廣泛討論的漏洞，結合 EPSS、CVSS 等風險評分架構，提升修補效率。
   
• 善用暗網情報搶先部署防禦措施：
  追蹤暗網市場中的勒索軟體即服務、駭客主義者的協調行動，提前部署，防範如DDoS與網站竄改等攻擊。

FortiGuard Labs 顧問服務 結合最先進技術與專家支援，協助企業組織在威脅發生前鞏固資安防線。發生資安事件時，FortiGuard Labs 亦提供迅速且有效的應變與鑑識分析，將影響降至最低，並預防未來的入侵，為當今快速變動的數位環境提供全方位防護。

Fortinet: cybercrime surges in 2024 as attackers embrace AI, automation, and exploit kits

Fortinet has released the 2025 Global Threat Landscape Report, a comprehensive analysis of the active threat landscape and trends from 2024. The report highlights that threat actors are increasingly using automation, commoditised tools, and AI to systematically erode traditional advantages held by defenders.

Automated scanning

Automated scanning has reached record highs as attackers shift left to identify exposed targets early. Cybercriminals are deploying automated scanning at a global scale, with active scanning in cyberspace reaching unprecedented levels in 2024, rising by 16.7 per cent worldwide year over year.

Darknet marketplaces

Darknet marketplaces fuel easy access to neatly packaged exploit kits. In 2024, cybercriminal forums increasingly operated as sophisticated marketplaces for exploit kits, with over 40,000 new vulnerabilities added to the National Vulnerability Database, a 39 per cent rise from 2023.

 

Initial access brokers are increasingly offering corporate credentials (20 per cent), RDP access (19 per cent), admin panels (13 per cent), and web shells (12 per cent). FortiGuard Labs observed a 500 per cent increase in logs available from systems compromised by infostealer malware, with 1.7 billion stolen credential records shared in these underground forums.

AI-powered cybercrime

AI-powered cybercrime is scaling rapidly, with threat actors harnessing AI to enhance phishing realism and evading traditional security controls, making cyberattacks more effective and difficult to detect. Tools like FraudGPT, BlackmailerV3, and ElevenLabs are fuelling more scalable, believable, and effective campaigns without the ethical restrictions of publicly available AI tools.

Attacks intensify

Targeted attacks on critical sectors intensify, with adversaries deploying sector-specific exploitations. In 2024, the most targeted sectors were manufacturing (17 per cent), business services (11 per cent), construction (nine per cent), and retail (nine per cent). Both nation-state actors and Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operators concentrated their efforts on these verticals, with the United States bearing the brunt of attacks (61 per cent).

Credentials are the currency of cybercrime, with cybercriminals sharing over 100 billion compromised records on underground forums, a 42 per cent year-over-year spike, driven largely by the rise of “combo lists” containing stolen usernames, passwords, and email addresses. Well-known groups like BestCombo, BloddyMery, and ValidMail were the most active cybercriminal groups during this time, fuelling a surge in account takeovers, financial fraud, and corporate espionage.

 

Fortinet’s warning for 2025

“Our latest Global Threat Landscape Report makes one thing clear: Cybercriminals are accelerating their efforts, using AI and automation to operate at unprecedented speed and scale,” said Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and Global VP Threat Intelligence, Fortinet FortiGuard Labs.
