The lack of a universal standard for naming threat actors often creates confusion in the cybersecurity community. The same threat actor can be identified by multiple aliases depending on the vendor or team tracking it. For example, a Russian government-sponsored cyber threat group is referred to alternatively as “APT29”, “Cozy Bear”, “Midnight Blizzard” and “Nobelium”.

BlueVoyant recently announced its strategic partnership with the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC), the central organization for cybersecurity collaboration in the automotive industry. Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) are important organizations that provide a central resource within a given sector for gathering, analyzing, and sharing information on cyber threats and vulnerabilities.

BlueVoyant’s Threat Fusion Cell (TFC) and Security Operations Center (SOC) researchers have uncovered a recent cyber campaign featuring a unique twist on fake browser updates. This attack leveraged the GrimResource vulnerability and delivered the PureLogs stealer malware to targeted environments through disguised Microsoft Management Console (MSC) files.
