Phishing techniques have a high prevalence in the current threat landscape and are often employed as an initial attack vector by threat groups. Archive files hiding malicious payloads are also frequently utilized by threat groups. Additionally, YoroTrooper makes use of open source and on-the-market tools to make attribution more difficult. However, these tactics also present an opportunity for defenders and researchers to develop detections for an attacker’s toolkit by focusing on open source offensive tools. A strong phishing awareness program, when paired with reviewing the risks of social engineering, strengthens an organization’s security posture and can stop threats before landing on a network. However, perimeter security is more effective as part of a defense in depth strategy that also proactively hunts for post compromise activities. Binary Defense’s MDR and Threat Hunting offerings are an excellent solution to assist with such a strategy.
