Cisco Talos released the newest rule update for SNORTⓇ on Tuesday morning.
Today's release includes multiple rules to defend against attacks from the Gamaredon threat group. Talos researchers have spotted this group carrying out multiple attacks recently that appear to be mainly motivated by stealing users' information and selling it to other threat actors. For more on this group, check out Talos' full research post.
Here's a breakdown of today's rule release:
| Shared object rules | Modified shared object rules | New rules | Modified rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 2 | 23 | 357 |
Talos has added and modified multiple rules in the browser-ie, file-executable, file-other, malware-cnc, policy-other, server-iis and server-webapp rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies. You can subscribe to Talos' newest rule detection functionality for as low as $29 a year with a personal account. Be sure and see our business pricing as well here.
