Weekly Threat Briefing • March 19, 2021
The Good
This week, we have an important update in the response to recent supply chain hacks. The CISA released a forensics collection tool, named CHIRP, that would help identify malicious activity connected to the SolarWinds attack. In another boat, the TIA published a white paper detailing supply chain security standards for the telecommunications industry.
Now, the pièce de résistance. Raise your glasses to make a toast as we have a piece of terrific news for you. Cyware, the industry’s only Virtual Cyber Fusion platform provider, raised $30 million in Series B funding, led by Advent International and Ten Eleven Ventures. And the best part is that we closed this round just within seven months of the previous one.
The Bad
Just because today’s newsletter has brought along a horde of precious news, we are not free from the kerfuffle caused by cyberattacks. More SolarWinds news. Mimecast confirmed falling victim to the attack and losing some of its source code to the hackers. The now-defunct data leak site, WeLeakInfo, got info of its own customers leaked. Pretty ironic, no?
New Threats
So, what do we have here? This week handed us a new botnet that takes after the infamous Mirai. A new espionage campaign has come to the light and is attributed to the RedDelta threat actor. In other news, a malware crypter has been identified that has been in use by 30 hacker groups! More news below.
