wrapped up a basic privacy and security workshop for a local non profit that supports people experiencing IPV, sexual assault, and other forms of abuse. it’s a really cool way to give back to your community and create actionable impact. education is power!

China_s gray zone warfare against Taiwan.7z (md5:6286443a23c2e3d97d6d1230a9050f30) -> 2 lnks and 2 packed js files in a hidden dir. The lnks will execute the js files, which write a .cab to tmp and then execute several files bundled within

Our work is never done 🙃
Microsoft has identified new Qakbot phishing campaigns following the August 2023 law enforcement disruption operation. The campaign began on December 11, was low in volume, and targeted the hospitality industry. Targets received a PDF from a user masquerading as an IRS employee.

Some more #infosec #jobs Very curious who has experience using ML at scale to influence detections, but also understands the threat landscape/attack techniques in use— not just the models

you can teach anyone how to use the tools, understand the data, and integrate into workflows. the hardest thing is that you can't teach passion. that comes embedded with the person and is one of the biggest factors in candidate selection

If you’re not doing ssl decryption in sandboxes you’re goofin. Nice one @anyrun_app
🧙‍♀️Did you know that network rules from ANY.RUN contain some magic?✨For example, Telegram exfiltration is now not a simple certificate detection🔏Adding a little potion, allowed the spell with the number 8000167 to work with TLS packets🪄I hope you like my magic💫

~detection in depth baybeee~
I almost never write "one rule" to detect a piece of malware or a malware family. I almost always write five or six rules, across a spectrum of precision, each of which detects different things at different fidelities, for different detection consumers.
