Quick update. I am now with @Volexity :) super excited! Last few months were not the easiest but thankfully I have great friends in the field and was able to stay afloat and find the right place.
I got lucky in this current job market. Back to reversing malware and drifting :)
.@Volexity#threatintel tracks a wide variety of threat actors abusing Device Code & OAuth authentication workflows to phish credentials. And these techniques continue to see success due to creative social engineering. [1/2]

@Volexity is looking to grow our Threat Intelligence team. New job posting for Senior Analyst role is up here: volexity.com/company/care... If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Did a write-up on OAuth phishing (offense and defense). It's based on phishing campaign's reported by @Volexity earlier this year.
- What are OAuth phishing links; what is the workflows behind them
- How to emulate (examples) and use ROADtools for further compromise
- Approaches to writing detections and key telemetry
I do believe we are likely to see more of these campaigns over time - I hope this blog serves y'all well.
Happy hunting folks! #azure#cloudsecurity#phishingelastic.co/security-labs/ent…

Check out the new blog: Russian APT adopts a well-known technique of m365 device code phishing. When combined with clever lures this technique proved to be extremely successful. 1/2
It’s great to see @NCSC drawing attention to the ongoing issues with network devices & appliances. Hopefully, vendors will heed the volatile data collection guidance: “Volatile data logging should support collection of… memory both at a kernel and individual process level.”

🚨The UK and international allies have today issued new guidelines to help manufacturers of edge devices – like routers, smart appliances, and IoT devices – make their products more secure and easier to investigate after a cyber attack⬇️

Key takeaways:
✅ The threat actor has the capability to identify WiFi networks that are near the target
✅Then they map identified 🛜 networks ➡️external IP space
Key takeaways (cont.)
✅ Next, they enumerate internet-facing attack surface associated with those 🛜 networks and compromise them (exploiting edge devices etc...)
✅ This is all done remotely, no physical access is required, which eliminates the risk of being spotted/caught.
