Threat Source newsletter (July 25, 2019)
Summary: Cisco Talos's July 25, 2019 Threat Source newsletter, compiled by Jonathan Munshaw, turns its main focus to election security ahead of the next presidential election, with Matt Olney examining the approach a potential attacker may take to disrupting a democratic election and discussing real-life attack scenarios on the Beers with Talos podcast. The newsletter also lists five blocked threats with their SHA 256 and MD5 hashes, typical filenames and detection names, and notes a German initiative to add a formal IT Security apprenticeship program.
Key Takeaway: Talos frames election disruption as a subject that costs lots of money and doesn't come with an easy fix, and pairs that with a weekly list of threats it blocked - a reminder that the defender's workload keeps arriving whether or not the harder conversation happens.
