Hey gang,
The RSS feed that powers the feed here has been updated with this week’s TSB.
As we prepare to cover Sans for Tuesday, some of the items within “The Rest of the News” is also in TSB and may have been covered on the blog.
Here are the show notes for podcast 252.
There is no show for next week, if that changes, please subscribe to the listeners list or TSB’s own list.
We are scheduled out for an evaluation of upcoming changes at Metro.
Welcome to the security box, podcast 252. This is the second of two podcasts talking about the subject of EDR. We’ve got news, notes, the landscape, trivia and of course the said topic.
I even have something I found on Facebook that I thought was worth sharing that was posted to a group by a follower. I don’t normally read these, but I think its worth sharing. Its not necessarily tech related, but still worth it.
Trivia
Here is the trivia question for this week.
According to a tweet recently found on twitter, Lastpass says that a certain percentage of infostealers are bypassing antivirus and EDR solutions. What is that percentage?
- A. 25%
- B: 37.8%
- C: 54%
- D: 69.85%
- E: higher than 69.85%
- F: lower than 25%
Call (888) 405-7524 or (818) 527-4754 or email/imessage/WhatsApp me with your answers. Your name or the name you want to go by and your guess is all that’s required. Good luck!
Last week’s Trivia
I have not been doing a good job of revealing the trivia or even putting it in the show notes lately. Here was the question and the answer from last week.
The question:
According to the article New %g1 EDR %g killer tool used by eight different ransomware groups that was originally seen on August 7, but was recently read, what were the 8 different ransomware groups? Also, which Antivirus companies and or products were affected?
The answer:
According to Sophos security researchers, the new tool, which wasn’t given a specific name, is used by RansomHub, Blacksuit, Medusa, Qilin, Dragonforce, Crytox, Lynx, and INC.
The targeted vendors include Sophos, Microsoft Defender, Kaspersky, Symantec, Trend Micro, SentinelOne, Cylance, McAfee, F-Secure, HitmanPro, and Webroot.
This was a tough one, we hope you had some guesses, you definitely needed to read the article for this one.
Our Topic: EDR Killer part 2
New EDR killer was used by 8 different ransomware groups, several are unknown to me is the blog post. It links to New EDR killer tool used by eight different ransomware groups if you want to read it. That’s the article for discussion and its a doozie.
