Video: Everything you need to know about ongoing state-sponsored attacks targeting network infrastructure across the globe
Summary: Cisco Talos is tracking ongoing state-sponsored cyber attacks and espionage campaigns that target out-of-date and unpatched network hardware, including the "Jaguar Tooth" campaign recently disclosed by the U.K. government and other global intelligence agencies. Talos researchers Matt Olney and J.J. Cummings said multiple threat actors ran sustained campaigns against router infrastructure in similar ways, and were most successful against out-of-date hardware and end-of-life software.
Bottom line: The adversaries are pre-positioning on perimeter routers for espionage or future destructive activity, and organizations that fail to update hardware and software are both more likely to be hit by unpatched vulnerabilities and left with fewer tools to fight back.
