    TSB podcast 183: An update on Pig Butchering

    TSB podcast 183: An update on Pig Butchering

    After a week off, we're back with another podcast. We hope you enjoy!



    Hello everyone, welcome to the Security Box, podcast 183. On this program, we're going to catch you up on the landscape from the last couple of weeks. We've also got an update on what's going on with our favorite topic called Pig Butchering. Of course we'll take your comments as well and of course those questions. Thanks so much for listening!







    Our topic: What's going on with Pig Butchering?



    Pig Butchering is not necessarily going anywhere, but there have been some studies and money recovered. The article US moves to recover $2.3 million from “pig butchers” on Binance is the latest article we've seen on the topic.



    Of course, we had a topic but seemed to have lost it, but that's what happens some times. This article will be taken apart to help the discussion and of course comments and questions are welcome.



    As a side note, we can probably tie this in to Phishing as a whole, as the deployment of the beginning of how this works is an email, text, or other platform of communication. What are your thoughts on that? We even talk about it as part of Throwback Saturdaynight for the 16th in our first segment.

    The Security box, podcast 180: Phishing as a Service

    Hello everyone, welcome to the security box, podcast 180. On this podcast, Phishlabs will guide us through something I don't think we have ever seen. It talks about a service that is a web host service, but it is a completely different type of web host. They didn't classify it as bulletproof hosting, but something called phishing as a service. Two different companies are mentioned. Besides that, we've got news, notes, the landscape and your thoughts. Thanks so much for listening!







    Big News of the week, Lockbit



    The big news it seems that is coming out this week is talking about Lockbit. Looks like their infrastructure has been taken over by all kinds of law enforcement partners from all around the world. While we don't intend to give you an exhaustive list, here is some of the coverage we know about.





    The Cyberwire Daily: February 20, 2024 will talk about this in their news notes for the episode. Here's a link to the Cyberwire.

    Lockbit, your time is up! Now its time to go find real work is my blog post, leading to LockBit cartel disrupted “at every level” – Europol if you don't want to read mine. I am not offended. I do take this article apart though, so give mine a read if you wish.

    Feds Seize LockBit Ransomware Websites, Offer Decryption Tools, Troll Affiliates comes directly from Brian Krebs. At the time of Writeup, the JRN has not read this yet.









    Our topic: Phishing as a service



    This week, we're going to talk about Phishing as a service. It is a new concept, and you can probably say it is similar to Ransomware as a service. This week's article is titled Phishing-as-a-Service Profile: LabHost Threat Actor Group and it covers two different hosts. This, will get interesting.
