How to become a more thoughtful and rational #cybersecurity thinker! In the world of cybersecurity, 'Survivorship Bias' can be especially dangerous, as it can lead to a false sense of security. Security vendors often tout the effectiveness of their products and technologies in protecting against cyber threats, but they rarely acknowledge the times when their technology has failed. This creates a skewed perception of the actual effectiveness of the technology, and can lead organizations to make poor decisions when it comes to selecting and implementing cybersecurity controls. By only focusing on the successful attacks that their technology has prevented, cybersecurity vendors are essentially ignoring the lessons that could be learned from the attacks that have bypassed their controls. A report that acknowledges the failures of protective controls and documents how attackers were able to circumvent them in the past can be as valuable, if not more so, than a report that only emphasizes successful attacks that were blocked. It is crucial for cybersecurity vendors to remain unbiased and transparent about the limitations and failures of their technology. Only by acknowledging and learning from these failures can we truly improve our cybersecurity posture and better protect against evolving threats. How can you become a more thoughtful and rational cybersecurity thinker? Here are some ways to avoid falling prey to survivorship bias: 1 - Look for failure stories: Instead of only seeking out success stories and case studies, make an effort to seek out stories of cybersecurity failures and how they were overcome. This can provide a more complete picture of the challenges and potential pitfalls involved in cybersecurity. 2 - Consider the whole picture: When evaluating the effectiveness of a particular cybersecurity technology or strategy, consider both the successes and failures. Look for patterns and trends to identify areas of improvement and potential weaknesses. 3 - Practice critical thinking: Be skeptical of claims that seem too good to be true, and seek out evidence to support or refute them. Ask questions and challenge assumptions to avoid accepting ideas or solutions that may be flawed. 4 - Embrace a learning mindset: Approach cybersecurity with a growth mindset, and be willing to learn from both successes and failures. Use failures as opportunities for improvement and learning, rather than as reasons for discouragement or blame. By being mindful of survivorship bias and actively seeking out a more complete picture of cybersecurity, we can become more thoughtful and rational thinkers, better equipped to navigate the complex and ever-evolving world of cybersecurity.

The cyber threat landscape is ever-evolving, and the emergence of a fresh variant of the IDAT loader signals a significant challenge for both standard and advanced defense mechanisms. This latest iteration, frequently wielded by cybercriminals for malware dissemination, employs steganography, a technique for concealing data within seemingly benign files, to clandestinely deploy the Remcos RAT. By leveraging steganography, the payload's stealth attributes are heightened, making it exceedingly difficult for conventional security measures to detect. The Remcos RAT, notorious for its role in facilitating remote monitoring and data exfiltration, poses a formidable risk to organisations worldwide. Furthermore, IDAT employs sophisticated evasion tactics like dynamic loading of Windows API functions and obfuscation of API calls to evade detection. With mitigation strategies centered on deploying proactive threat hunting mechanisms and raising awareness among users about the dangers of opening files from untrusted sources, it's imperative for organisations to fortify their defenses and stay vigilant against evolving cyber threats. Stay tuned for more insights! #cybersecurity #informationsecurity #threatintelligence

Recent findings reveal Iran's Mint Sandstorm's advanced cyber campaign, utilizing deceptive emails leading to a malicious domain. Targets were directed to sites hosting a disguised RAR archive that, when opened, executed a command retrieving malicious files from controlled subdomains. Notably, various .vbs scripts and a camouflaged version of NirCmd were observed on targeted devices. MediaPl, a sophisticated backdoor disguised as Windows Media Player, encrypts communications to its Command-and-Control server, strategically positioned to parse images for covert information. Mint Sandstorm's nuanced tactics pose a substantial risk to high-profile targets, emphasizing the need for heightened organizational security. Protect your organization from sophisticated threats like Mint Sandstorm with CyberStash - your shield against evolving cyber attacks.
