This report surveys the top cyber threats of 2024: Chinese APT Volt Typhoon pre-positioning in US critical infrastructure, Russian GRU-linked Sandworm conducting destructive attacks (including historical NotPetya damage and strikes on energy grids), Israeli military cyber operations, major ransomware incidents like BlackCat/AlphV and the subsequent RansomHub extortion that disrupted healthcare payments, criminal groups such as the Com and Scattered Spider, widespread crypto "pig butchering" scams and human trafficking, exposed data-broker location datasets, and harms from AI chatbot misuse—together illustrating a landscape of nation-state threats, organized cybercrime, and systemic privacy and infrastructure risks.
