But @StateINR's Holmgren adds #FISA Section 702 "doesn't just help defend & protect US interests. It is essential to advancing & promoting US interests in the world"
"It is hard to overstate the centrality of [FISA] 702 collection to providing the secretary of state & US diplomats w/objective, timely intelligence & analysis & information, from assessments on #Russia, #China, #Iran & #NorthKorea to foreign influence" per @StateINR's Holmgren
Es braut sich etwas zusammen: Europaweit #DDoS-Attacken auf Ministerien und Behörden, #Ransomware-Angriff auf die Lürssen-Werft... Bei Sicherheitsbehörden und IT-Sicherheitsexperten wächst die Sorge vor einer Mischszene aus Cyberkriminellen und pro-russischen Hacktivisten /1
In den vergangenen Monaten haben sich mehrere Hacker-Gruppen, darunter die Hacktivisten von "Killnet" und "NoName057", aber auch Ransomware-Gruppen zu neuen pro-russischen Kollektiven zusammengeschlossen, um den Kreml mit Cyberaktionen zu unterstützen. /2

LogonTracer is a tool to investigate malicious logon by visualizing and analyzing Windows Active Directory event logs. This tool associates a hostname (or an IP address) and account name found in logon-related events and displays it as a graph 🤯
Windows Logon EventID is as follows 👇
• 4624: Successful logon
• 4625: Logon failure
• 4768: Kerberos Authentication (TGT Request)
• 4769: Kerberos Service Ticket (ST Request)
• 4776: NTLM Authentication

FIN7 UNVEILED: A deep dive into notorious cybercrime gang
The big day is finally here! 🎊After months of tireless research and analyses, we can present you with the most insightful information: an extensive report on the notorious #cybercrime gang #FIN7.
Thanks to the PTI team, we obtained never-seen-before information about FIN7’s inner workings. We got a deeper understanding of their organizational structures, identities, attack vectors, and proof-supported affiliations with other ransomware groups, among others.
The most enticing remarks of the report are:
🔹 Unveiling FIN7’s development of an auto attack system to exploit the most profitable targets based on their revenue, employee count, headquarters’ location, and website information

“None of that happened. But in a new study released Wednesday by Microsoft, it is now clear that Russia used its… hackers to conduct hundreds of far more subtle attacks, many timed to coincide w/incoming missile or ground attacks.
