Mandiant is now aware of multiple incidents in the airline sector that resemble Scattered Spider. The industry should button up its call centers where this actor has had a lot of success with social engineering. www.axios.com/2025/06/27/a...

mas.to/@statsguy/11... Google, this is why I can't trust your AI generated answers

In the midst of a Trade War - would China actually pull the trigger on destructive cyber attacks using known footholds (think Volt & Salt Typhoon) in US critical infrastructure? 🤔 We've taken a closer look at how this could - and has - unfolded: opalsec.io/is-cyber-a-l... #InfoSec #ThreatIntel

Chris Krebs (@thekrebscycle.bsky.social) is being politically persecuted, and in this week's Seriously Risky Business podcast @tom.risky.biz and I talk about why we're not expecting an outcry from angry cybersecurity executives FULL VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oSJ... AUDIO: risky.biz/SRB117/

In a last-minute switch, the #CISA said it will continue funding a contract for #MITRE to manage the CVE program and other vulnerability databases. via @derekbjohnson.bsky.social cyberscoop.com/cisa-reverse...

This makes no sense if you look at it from a targeting point of view. Why would the NSA even go after a sporting event. There isn't anything of worth for an intel op there. This looks like a political move, China falling for a false flag, or just a straight-up made up case

@campuscodi.risky.biz did a great write up on an APT10's clever use of the Windows Sandbox to keep malware stealthy... running malware in Windows Sandbox via a scheduled task from a separate account is smart. You don't gotta hand it to 'em etc. risky.biz/risky-bullet...

Palo Alto looks at Slow Pisces, a North Korean APT and its recent campaign that targeted cryptocurrency developers on LinkedIn, posing as potential employers, and sending malware disguised as coding challenges. unit42.paloaltonetworks.com/slow-pisces-...

Noticed a bunch of these ornate gold medallions slapped all over the Oval Office. We found em on Alibaba. “High-density Home Decoration Polyurethane Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessories” from seller Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited. sherwood.news/power/shop-t...

#Chinese law enforcement places #NSA operatives on wanted list over alleged #cyberattacks. The allegations, supported by the foreign ministry, are more specific and aggressive than usual and say the U.S. sought to disrupt the Asian Winter Games. via @timstarks.bsky.social youtu.be/SAPjQxbruL0?...

I guess because like five of us are saying something, what was done to @thekrebscycle.bsky.social is an absolute injustice and a mockery of his selfless service. America no longer supports or protects critical infrastructure defenders. I hope someone else appreciates him a lot more.

Recent developments in the US suggest a troubling shift away from expert-driven cyber defense towards political expediency. From sidelined Russia operations to gutted agencies, we examine the evidence and the potential global fallout. Read our full analysis here: opalsec.io/eroding-foun...

We go now live to our economics editor who has broken out the good whiskey and seems to be playing with a revolver. How are the markets reacting Greg

Some personal news: new gig starting tomorrow. All I have to do is sit around a campfire. if I hear a noise, I stand up, look around, and say “must have been the wind.” Sounds pretty easy. Not sure why the last guy quit.

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple
