Hello everyone. Welcome to program 131 of the Security box. I hope you'll enjoy what we have to offer you today. On this podcast, we have a rumor that indicates that we'll definitely have at least one moron of the podcast, maybe more. We'll also have the topic of the Q4 threat trends Report from Phishlabs as well as questions, comments and more. We hope you'll enjoy the program and thanks for listening!

Here's a moron set for you

There were two articles in which broke this, and it definitely fits our Moron of the podcast. This blog post from February 10th has links to each of the articles and initial thoughts. Also, I'm not too sure about this one, but we could probly fit this IRS update from February 10th as well as this blog post talking about an article by Andy Greenberg and a guy who thinks that he won't be caught as he apparently got a mixer going on and he's supposedly taken the right precautions. If you have anything in this category, feel free to mention it by sending us an email, an imessage, find me on Mastodon and even text or whats app me.

Our topic

Seems like QBot is back in the news as the top threat in this last quarters report from Phishlabs and Fortra. The article is titled QBot Campaigns Overwhelmingly Lead Reported Payloads in Q4 is the article we'll be taking from. It was posted to TSB's list last December, and of course, I do try and cover it. The threat may still be there, and with all of what we'll be talking about here, all of these threats have not gone away.
