Malware campaigns targeting Latin America (LATAM) are evolving. While the final payloads, often commodity RATs like XWorm, remain consistent, delivery mechanisms are becoming increasingly sophisticated to bypass region-specific defenses and increase the chance of reaching real business users.  In this analysis, […]

How long would it take your team to realize ransomware is already running?  The newly identified ransomware families are already causing real business disruption. These threats can disrupt operations fast while also reducing visibility through stealth or cleanup activity, shrinking the time teams have to detect and contain the attack.  Here’s what you should know about BQTLock and GREENBLOOD, and how your team can detect and contain them before […]

Threat hunting is widely recognized as one of the most important capabilities of a mature SOC. It uncovers stealthy attackers early, reduces dwell time, and prevents security incidents from impacting the business. Yet, in practice, many organizations find that their threat hunting efforts don’t consistently deliver these outcomes.  Let’s take a look at how high-performing security teams make threat hunting more repeatable, measurable, and effective.  Why Threat Hunting Programs Often Fail Before They Start  […]

The financial sector resembles a treasure vault under constant siege. Banks, insurers, and fintech firms are not just custodians of money. They are guardians of irreplaceable personal and corporate data, payment flows, transactional integrity, and trust itself.   When cybercriminals strike, the ripple effects cascade outward, threatening individual savings, corporate balance sheets, national infrastructures, and broader economic confidence.  The Biggest […]

First month of the year, and we’re starting it off with updates that support faster decisions and more predictable SOC operations.  In January, we introduced a major workflow enhancement with the new ANY.RUN Sandbox integration with MISP, alongside expanded detection coverage across behavior signatures, YARA rules, and Suricata.  Let’s find out what this means for your team.  Product Updates  January brought another solid round of improvements […]

ANY.RUN observes a growing trend of phishing kit infrastructure being hosted on legitimate cloud and CDN platforms, rather than on newly registered domains. These campaigns often target enterprise users specifically, creating a global threat to businesses. The shift creates serious visibility challenges for security teams, as trusted platforms and valid indicators shield malicious activity from detection.  For a deeper dive, read on and see the breakdown of such cases, along with […]

Running a SOC today means constant trade-offs: too many alerts, not enough people, strict SLAs, and attacks that keep getting smarter. Most leaders aren’t asking for “the next cool product” but a proof that something actually cuts time, risk, and workload in real environments like theirs.  Thousands of organizations already rely on ANY.RUN to reduce analyst load, resolve phishing cases faster, cut unnecessary […]

Think you can trust every email that comes from a business partner?  Unfortunately, that’s no longer guaranteed; attackers now slip into legitimate threads and send messages that look fully authentic.   That’s exactly what happened in a new case uncovered by ANY.RUN researchers; a trust takeover inside a real executive discussion about a document awaiting final approval.   By detonating the suspicious message, the investigation exposed the […]

In cybersecurity, humans occupy both ends of the vulnerability spectrum. They click what should never be clicked, reuse passwords like heirlooms, and generously donate credentials to phishing pages that look “kind of legit.”  Yet the same species becomes the strongest link once you step inside a SOC.  Cybersecurity professionals don’t fail because they are careless […]

Most SOC teams are overloaded with routine work. Tier 1 & 2 analysts spend too much time validating alerts, moving samples between tools, and chasing missing context. When integrations are weak, investigations slow down, MTTR grows, and SLAs suffer delays. That directly increases operational risk and cost for the business.   ANY.RUN has already helped teams close part of this […]

A growing skepticism around JA3 is evident, and quite understandable as well. Public lists are rarely updated, and initiatives like JA3-fingerprints have been effectively frozen since 2021, creating the impression that this is a “yesterday’s technology.”  However, JA3 fingerprints have not disappeared. Sensors continue to collect them, they appear in reports and threat intelligence interfaces; it’s just that many teams treat them formally, as yet […]

SOAR platforms are excellent at moving work forward. They trigger playbooks, route incidents, and enforce consistent response steps. What they don’t do well on their own is confirm what’s actually SOAR helps teams move faster, but speed isn’t the real problem.  The real issue is figuring out what an alert actually means. A sandbox solves that by safely running the file or link […]

By 2026, MSSPs will compete less on tooling and more on clarity, speed, and foresight. Security buyers want proof that their provider understands what threats matter now, how fast they can respond, and how security decisions reduce business risk. At the center of this challenge sits threat intelligence. Not as a research output, but as […]
