Threat Source newsletter (Feb. 20, 2020)
Newsletter compiled by Jon Munshaw.

Welcome to this week’s Threat Source newsletter — the perfect place to get caught up on all things Talos from the past week.

We’ve got more ways than ever for you to get Talos content. We continue to grow our YouTube page with the second entry in the “Stories from the Field” series, this time with Matt Aubert discussing when to get lawyers involved in an incident.

Our podcast family also continues to grow, with new episodes this week of Talos Takes and Beers with Talos.

On the old-fashioned write-up end of things, we have the latest on our research into adversaries’ use of living-off-the-land binaries (also known as “LoLBins”). Recently, we’ve seen a wave of attacks utilizing the Microsoft Build Engine to conduct post-infection activities.

And, as always, we have the latest Threat Roundup where we go through the top threats we saw — and blocked — over the past week.
