The Recon incident response team recently responded to a case of business email compromise.  The incident spanned over seven months of potential dwell time, and included the unraveling of encrypted malware hidden in an image file. Our analysis attributed the incident to a threat group known as TA551/Shathak, known for stealing banking credentials.

We've been big fans of the Thinkst platform for a while now. We may have mentioned them a time or two :) Like many others, we get a lot of mileage out of their Canaries and Canary Tokens.

As part of the #OpenSOC event Recon InfoSec recently conducted, we wanted to visualize where all of our participants were coming from. We had several data points to work from, and there are plenty of open tools available, so it is just a matter of cobbling those items together to create a sweet, sweet map.

If you couldn't tell by now, we love Graylog. We may have mentioned them a time or two :)

Part of our job at Recon relies on fine tuning our threat signatures that make up the bulk of our pipeline rules in our Graylog environment.
