• A January 15, 2025, dark web post from a threat actor who looks to have published IPs, passwords, and configuration data from 15,000 FortiGate firewalls. The data leaked online appears to be several years old (2022). Rapid7 has not attributed any CVEs to the leaked data at this time.

GUEST RESEARCH:  Infoblox Threat Intel researchers have discovered new insights into the use of spoofed domains in modern malicious spam (malspam) campaigns, sending unsolicited emails that contain harmful attachments or links designed to infect the recipient's computer with malware or to steal sensitive information. This reveals how threat actors exploit domain spoofing and how pervasive this technique is. The information was gathered through a collective effort following the initial Muddling Meerkat research, with various individuals sharing data showing Muddling Meerkat behavior with the researchers. This underscores the importance of collaborative efforts in cybersecurity, as sharing data and insights can lead to significant discoveries and improvements in threat detection and mitigation.
