1641263236908736512 | @vxunderground @CrowdStrike @Sophos @ESET @PaloAltoNtwks @SentinelOne @malwrhunterteam Imagine getting this level of access and being trash at writing malware that it gets caught in a single day. They should have done this low and slow, migrate out of the primary msi or updater and extract creds at random times after execution to avoid instant attribution | 14 |
1639102653673222148 | A wonderful event today with @meetC2C and @googlecloud. Informative discussions with @Pythian, @Workspot, @SADA, and @PaloAltoNtwks, finishing with a fantastic fireside chat moderated by @kelseyhightower. Thanks for the learns! https://t.co/OAoZ58e467 | 13 |

1641263773070635008 | @Laughing_Mantis @CrowdStrike @Sophos @ESET @PaloAltoNtwks @SentinelOne @malwrhunterteam Based on forum reports, it looks like the attack began March 23rd, or possibly earlier. Companies marked the application as 'safe', because it was digitally signed, and assumed a false positive. | 10 |
