Description
On this week’s Cyber Security Brief, Brigid O Gorman and Dick O’Brien discuss some of our recent blogs, including at least one BlackMatter ransomware affiliate using a new data exfiltration tool in attacks, and also the breaking news that the BlackMatter ransomware operation is apparently winding down. We also discuss another recent blog we published about banking Trojan activity in Latin America, while recent law enforcement activity cracking down on ransomware criminals is also up for discussion. Elsewhere, we also talk about SquirrelWaffle, a reasonably new malware that is used as a loader and has been mentioned as a potential successor to the notorious Emotet for the delivery of threats.
