Threat Round up for January 6 to January 13

Summary: Cisco Talos published a threat roundup covering the most prevalent threats it observed between January 6 and January 13, summarizing them by behavioral characteristics, indicators of compromise, and how customers are automatically protected. The post lists only 25 file hashes and up to 25 IOCs per category, with a complete set in an accompanying JSON file, and notes that IOC searching is only one part of threat hunting and that a single IOC does not necessarily indicate maliciousness.

Key Takeaway: Talos states plainly that spotting a single IOC does not necessarily indicate maliciousness and that IOC searching is only one part of threat hunting - so a leader treating hash-matching as the detection program has a gap the roundup itself points to.
