What I learned this week
TL;DR
OpenAI has released their latest series of large language model named o1 series. Let’s explore what is different with those new LLM, why it matters and how this can help cyber security » READ MORE
Another busy week in the threat landscape (I guess that surprise no one at this stage). The fact that log4j is still being exploited more than years after it was disclosed is basically telling you that the basics are still not done properly. The fact that a never-ending stream of vulnerabilities is being released is not helping either. This week we got Palo Alto, to Intel, to Cisco and then finally Microsoft. In other news the Transport for London (TfL) have suffered a breach and are now asking all employees to attend in-person appointments to verify their identities and reset passwords. A 17 year old (!) suspect has been arrested. Last but not least, the FBI published a report on Cryptocurrency Fraud, highlighting a whooping $5.6 billion loss related to crypto fraud! This is a 45% increase in losses compared to the previous year.
On the back of the Crowdstrike incident, Microsoft held a Windows Endpoint Security Ecosystem Summit at its headquarters in Redmond. They also published an initial summary of the discussion, worth a read.
Some more consolidation on the market, even though this time I can see this one make some sense. Mastercard acquired RecordedFuture for $2.65 billion. Mastercard has a unique visibility in the payment stream and the ability to correlate this with cyber intelligence can be really interesting.
