As national laws implementing the EU's NIS2 Directive take effect on October 18, 2024, critical infrastructure operators across Europe face new cybersecurity challenges. This paper explores how organizations in essential sectors can operationalize cyber threat intelligence (CTI) and intelligence-driven threat hunting to reduce cyber risks, anticipate threats, and improve resilience. Discover how these practices help prioritize remediation of cloud resources and IT assets, ensuring continuous risk management and enhanced recovery measures: https://hubs.la/Q02S2H8C0 #NIS2 #threatintelligence #threathunting #CTI

Cybercriminals are increasingly using trusted platforms like Google Sheets to conduct command-and-control (C2) operations in malware attacks. Threat hunters are now tasked with identifying how attackers abuse Google’s APIs to blend malicious traffic with legitimate activity, making detection difficult. Our latest blog covers the Voldemort malware campaign and explains how HUNTER471 can help threat hunters spot these hidden threats: https://hubs.la/Q02RLBxf0 #threathunting #cybersecurity #threatintel #malware #cybercrime

As part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’re kicking off a weekly series to help you and your team stay one step ahead of today’s cyber threats! This week, we’re focusing on phishing attacks. Cybercriminals are getting more inventive with their methods, leveraging tactics like smishing (phishing via text), quishing (malicious QR codes), and vishing (voice phishing). One of the more recent trends is TOAD (Telephone-Oriented Attack Delivery), where email phishing is combined with a phone call to manipulate victims into handing over sensitive information. Phishing has also evolved with adversary-in-the-middle (AITM) toolkits, which allow hackers to intercept credentials and bypass multi-factor authentication without raising any red flags. Here’s how you can stay safe: Always verify email addresses, hover over links before clicking, and never use contact information from suspicious emails. Regular employee training is also key to strengthening your organization’s defenses. Stay tuned! Each week this October, we’ll cover a new topic to keep you informed and protected.

At a state level, Russia stands as a top-tier cyber power driven by advanced persistent threat groups. However, it's also a hub of underground cybercriminal activity, fueled by a strong education system but limited economic opportunities for IT professionals. In a recent paper, U.S. Department of Defense Analyst Alec Jackson explores this dynamic in "How the Collapse of the Soviet Union Made Russia a Great Cyber Power." Join him in this Studio 471 as he discusses the corruption that binds Russian IT professionals, organized crime, and the state—and how it's all leveraged for global cyber dominance. 🎧 Tune in to this insightful conversation with Intel 471 host Jeremy Kirk: https://hubs.la/Q02RyzYc0 🔗 Download your copy of "How the Collapse of the Soviet Union Made Russia a Great Cyber Power": https://hubs.la/Q02RyDSs0 #CyberCrime #Studio471 #CTI #Russia #APT #Intel471 #USDepartmentofDefense
