The Use Of Artificial Intelligence In Threat Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a double-edged sword in cybersecurity, empowering both defenders and attackers. AI-driven security systems are often used to detect threats in real-time, analysing large datasets for anomalies, and automating responses to cyberattacks. However, cybercriminals are also leveraging AI to create advanced malware, automate phishing attacks, and evade traditional defenses.

Cybersecurity Automation Adoption: Hype vs. Reality

Cybersecurity automation has followed a path familiar to many emerging technologies: a cycle of inflated expectations, hard realities, and eventual refinement. Gartner’s “hype cycle” provides a useful framework for understanding this journey—initial enthusiasm and lofty expectations give way to challenges and disillusionment before practical, high-value use cases emerge.

February 24, 2025 Cyber Threat Intelligence Briefing

February 24, 2025 Cyber Threat Intelligence Briefing This week’s briefing covers: KTA080 (CL0P) Update CL0P has again updated their data leak site with a new list of redacted victim organizations possibly linked to the Cleo vulnerability. The list contains company names beginning with the letters E-H. This follows the current pattern the group has established with releasing redacted names to then later slowly start releasing the actual entity and published data associated with it if the victim organization has not reached out to CL0P.

Security Bulletin: PAN-OS Authentication Bypass Vulnerability

CVE-2025-0108 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability affecting Palo Alto’s PAN-OS, the operating system for their next-generation firewalls. This flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to the PAN-OS management web interface to bypass authentication controls and execute restricted PHP scripts.

A Guide to Working in Threat Intelligence

According to Gartner Research and McMillan (2003), “Threat intelligence is evidence-based knowledge, including context, mechanisms, indicators, implications, and actionable advice, about an existing or emerging hazard to assets that can inform decisions on how to respond.” Threat intelligence involves analysing data to predict and prevent cyber threats, allowing organisations to identify risks early and implement proactive defences.

Security Bulletin: Rha-Rha-Rhadamanthys Information Stealer

The origin of the word “Rhadamanthys”, goes back to Greek mythology where he was a legendary figure who ruled as king of Crete. Born to Zeus and Europa, he held the status of demigod and was renowned for his wisdom. Rhadamanthys Stealer is a sophisticated information stealer written in C++ that employs multiple evasion techniques. The malware utilizes a custom packer for code obfuscation and incorporates anti-VM and anti-debugging mechanisms to prevent analysis.

February 18, 2025 Cyber Threat Intelligence Briefing

February 18, 2025 Cyber Threat Intelligence Briefing This week’s briefing covers: CL0P Update CL0P updated their data leak site with a new victim list of approximately 43 organizations. The organizations are likely from the previous redacted list containing company names from C-E and are possibly associated with the Cleo zero-day vulnerability.

How to Set Up Proactive Threat Intelligence

What is the best way to avoid suffering multi-million-dollar security incidents? Know your cyber enemy in advance. This means having quality threat intelligence on all the threats targeting your business, industry, or country. Let's take a look at one of the most effective methods of collecting intel that your organization can use to better predict, detect, and respond to cyber attacks.

OSINT Framework: How Open Source Intelligence Powers Cybersecurity

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the backbone of modern cybersecurity investigations, helping analysts and law enforcement uncover threats, assess risks, and gather intelligence from publicly available sources. In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about OSINT, from key frameworks and tools to how it's used in cybersecurity.

Security Bulletin: Fake Reddit Sites and Lumma Stealer

A new campaign distributing the notorious Lumma Stealer malware has been discovered by security analyst Crep1x at Sekoia. Threat actors are utilizing over 80 second-level domains to generate over 1,000 fully qualified domain names impersonating Reddit and WeTransfer. Websites impersonating Reddit feature a fake thread designed to deceive victims into downloading the malware.
