Beers with Talos, Ep. #119: If it walks like a BlackCat, smells like a BlackCat...
Summary: Beers with Talos episode No. 119, recorded March 25, 2022, covers malware observed in the wild in Ukraine and President Biden's warning that state-sponsored actors could soon target U.S. critical infrastructure. The episode also features Talos Outreach's Nick Biasini discussing the BlackCat ransomware group and its apparent ties to BlackMatter/DarkSide, the group infamous for the Colonial Pipeline attack.
What's compelling: BlackCat's suspected lineage runs back to the operators behind Colonial Pipeline, and the same episode pairs that with a presidential warning about state-sponsored attacks on U.S. critical infrastructure - two threats your incident response plan may be treating as separate.
