New Signals & Stories episode with @TomHegel from @SentinelOne and @invisig0th from The Vertex Project.
We discuss:
🔹DPRK IT workers posing as job applicants
🔹Cross-functional intelligence sharing
🔹AI in CTI
🔹And more!
Really fun conversation on where CTI is headed.

A new macOS stealer called Reaper — a SHub variant tracked by @LabsSentinel — runs an infection chain where each stage hides behind a different trusted brand:
- The lure: a fake WeChat or Miro installer
- The delivery: a typo-squatted domain, mlcrosoft[.]co[.]com
- The execution: dressed up as an Apple XProtectRemediator security update
- The persistence: a fake Google Software Update directory, beaconing every 60 seconds
Microsoft, Apple, Google — in that order, in one chain. The victim never sees a single unfamiliar name.
In this @WIRED video about fast16, @a_greenberg walks through the whole arc: A 2005 sabotage malware that sat in plain sight for 20 years, the NSA leak that named it, and what @LabsSentinel's @vkamluk and @juanandres_gs (JAGS) finally figured out it was doing. The closing question alone is worth your time.

Threat actors are in a turf war for ownership of your infrastructure. @LabsSentinel has uncovered PCPJack, a predatory cloud credential worm that hunts its own kind. Its first move? A scorched-earth eviction of rival group TeamPCP. https://t.co/6rGGFcCwl5
This isn’t a theory—it’s in the code. PCPJack specifically kills TeamPCP processes and even reports a "PCP replaced" metric back to its C2.
Fresh research from the team (@vkamluk / @juanandres_gs) - this one goes back quite awhile!
fast16 | Mystery ShadowBrokers Reference Reveals High-Precision Software Sabotage 5 Years Before Stuxnet

The history of cyberwar just got rewritten with a new
@LabsSentinel discovery by @vkamluk and @juanandres_gs. Stuxnet wasn't the beginning of nation-state sabotage through software. It was just the first one we caught.
Meet fast16 — compiled in 2005, five years before Stuxnet. It isn't espionage. It's not ransomware. It's a precision instrument designed to make scientists trust math that's been quietly broken. Silently. Precisely. Across an entire network.
The implications reach into advanced physics, cryptographic research, and nuclear programs.

While it's hard to get numbers on frequency and costs of ransomware and criminal cyberattacks in China, we do know they happen. This makes the politics of losers in China cybersecurity particularly interesting. 1/x

The Cognitive Rust Belt - If you wait for the technology to settle before you address this, you will find there is nothing left to save.

Last week, a new initiative was launched under @NATO DEEP to develop a Reference Curriculum on Artificial Intelligence as a Tool for Military Power. Honored to work alongside a distinguished group of experts and help define how AI is addressed within military education!
