Threat Source newsletter (Jan. 30, 2020)
Summary: Cisco Talos used its Jan. 30, 2020 Threat Source newsletter to preview a Swiss Cyber Security Days talk by Paul Rascagnères on two threat actors manipulating the DNS system, including the campaign Talos named "Sea Turtle," which targets registrars and a registry directly. The newsletter also notes an upcoming change to Snort.org, a weekly Threat Roundup of blocked threats, and a German initiative to add a formal IT Security apprenticeship program.
What's compelling: Sea Turtle's willingness to go straight at registrars and a registry means the DNS infrastructure your domain depends on is itself a target, not just the endpoints behind it.
