Welcome to this week’s Threat Source newsletter — the perfect place to get caught up on all things Talos from the past week.
It’s nearly holiday shopping season, which means it’s prime scam season. On the latest Beers with Talos episode, we run down the best ways to stay safe while shopping online and how to detect phony emails. It’s also election season, which makes for some good discussion.
And, as it’s time to look back on the year that was, we have a new feature from Talos Incident Response where we take a quarter-by-quarter look at the top threats we’ve seen in the wild. In Q4 of Cisco’s fiscal year, our IR analysts mainly saw ransomware and cryptocurrency miners.
IR also had another exciting announcement this week, with the unveiling of a new cyber range that can help train employees to avoid common scams that can lead to malware infection. The cyber range now comes with any IR retainer.
The Threat Source newsletter is getting a week off next week for the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S., so we’ll talk to you again in December.
