The FBI and CISA have updated their March warning about Russian intelligence phishing Signal accounts, and the operators have added a step: they now coax targets into handing over their Signal Backup Recovery Key.

It’s dumb out there again.
This week has the usual smell of prod on fire and nobody wanting to admit who left the door open — old creds still working, trusted apps doing sketchy crap, browser tricks jumping the fence, and “normal” workflows turning into phishing pipes because apparently email was not enough hell already.
The worst part is how cheap some of it feels. Not elite. Not cinematic.View the full article
Despite the abundance of telemetry at analysts’ disposal, many security operations teams struggle to answer a few basic questions during incident investigation: What happened? What evidence do we have? How do we know we’re seeing it all, in context?
Answering these questions requires teams to go beyond alerts, the most common basis for initial triage. But investigations (and their outcomes)View the full article

We are standing at the end of an era we never thought to mourn: the era of human-speed threats.
For years, cybersecurity moved to a rhythm organizations could follow. A researcher found a bug, a CVE was cataloged, a vendor navigated a patch cycle, and weeks or even months later, a fix was deployed. In this era, dwell time was measured in days, sometimes weeks. We are now approaching anView the full article
