Targeted attack campaigns involve multiple stages, the first of which consists of collecting information about the target: the reconnaissance phase. It’s an essential part of any campaign and one that often exploits that well known weakest link: the human user.
At VB2017 in Madrid,
Cisco Talos
researchers Paul Rascagneres and Warren Mercer presented
a paper
about this specific phase, describing examples from a number of different targeted campaigns.
Today, we have published Paul and Warren’s paper in both
HTML
and
PDF
format; we have also uploaded the video of their presentation to our
YouTube
channel.
If, like
some of the VB team
, you are at Botconf in Montpellier this week, you can see Paul speak about Nyetya (or Notpetya) and the MeDoc connection
tomorrow morning
, while in the
afternoon
, Warren will speak about Necurs spam campaigns.
