I’ve said if before and I’ll say it again—listen to Mick. He gives good advice.
I've had 3 calls so far today (it's not even 10) about defending against Russian cyber ops I'm tired of having the same call... so... here's what I've told everyone. This is the playbook you need... but it's not going to be what you think it will be. Ready? Lets go! 1

After I have realized Live Kernel Dump is basically a result of one NtSystemDebugControl() call, my next thought was "And what if I wrap it into PowerShell?" 1. CreateFile(), 2. NtSystemDebugControl(), 3. Enjoy/Profit! 😎 github.com/gtworek/PSBits/bl…

This appears to be a widespread #TR #Qakbot #Qbot campaign today that could lead to Cobalt Strike, Bloodhound, and things that look very "pre-ransomware-y." The domains/hashes change, but the detection opps mentioned here are more durable. I highly recommend looking for this NOW.
Over the past few hours, we’ve observed malicious phishing emails associated with the delivery affiliate TR in multiple customer environments. The infection scheme was consistent, executing in the following pattern: OneDrive phishing page -> ZIP download -> malicious XLSB -> Qbot

NEW: Walgreens made donations to 11 members of the Sedition Caucus in November 2021, totaling $25.5k, breaking the pledge they made after Jan 6th to indefinitely suspend contributions to members of Congress who objected to the election certification. Shame on them.

Just had a "Wait! You do that?" moment with a friend. Yes, I am available as "surge staff" for your professional services team--forensics, IR, etc. Just in case you didn't know.

This week has seen me having multiple conversations about workplace cultures where people feel safe to admit mistakes. This is so important for the health of your people and your business.

I would encourage you apply if you think you’re a little under qualified. That way at least I have you on file for future positions even if you’re not a great fit. As always, less qualified people than you will!
