Threat Source newsletter (Sept. 19, 2019)
Summary: Cisco Talos reported that Emotet, quiet over the summer, returned with a slew of new campaigns, and that Talos found a new threat actor it calls "Panda" rapidly spreading cryptocurrency miners even as digital currencies decline in value. Talos also published vulnerability spotlights on the Aspose PDF API, Atlassian's Jira software and the AMD ATI Radeon line of graphics cards, alongside its weekly Threat Roundup.
Key Takeaway: Emotet's return means the same protections and coverage organizations already use are again being tested against a threat that never fully went away, while a new actor, Panda, keeps spreading miners regardless of whether the coins are worth anything.
