Fiesta Exploit Kit, is no party
Summary: Cisco Talos worked with Cisco's TRAC team on an article about the Fiesta Exploit Kit, pointing readers to a post on the Cisco Security Blog. The post notes that exploit kits have been very pervasive over the past couple of years and that, while the arrest of Paunch, author of the Blackhole Exploit Kit, caused a decline in their overall numbers, they are still out there and operating.
Why it matters: The arrest of a single exploit kit author, Paunch, reduced overall exploit kit numbers but did not end them - the kits kept running, and Fiesta is the example here.
