Ransomware has become more difficult for organizations to defend against, but easier for adversaries to deploy. The rise of ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) — a model in which ransomware operators write the malware and affiliates pay to launch it — has lowered the barrier to entry so threat actors of all skill levels can participate and profit. OCULAR SPIDER is one such operator. This adversary, newly named by CrowdStrike, is associated with the development of ransomware variants including Cyclops, Knight, and RansomHub. They targeted hundreds of named victims between February 2024 and March 2025, according to CrowdStrike intelligence, and they focus on industries such as professional services, technology, healthcare, and manufacturing in regions including the United States, Canada, Brazil, and some European countries. But OCULAR SPIDER is one of many operators in the ransomware space. Adam and Cristian take listeners back to the early days of ransomware and track its evolution, variants, and key players from the mid-2010s through the launch of RansomHub in 2024. They explain how RaaS works, why it appeals to adversaries and complicates attribution, and how defenders can prepare to face today's ransomware threats. Come for an update on Adam's adventures in bread-making; stay for a deep-dive into the RaaS evolution and the threat actors driving it.

Hiren Hasmukh, CEO of Teqtivity, discusses the evolution of his company from its origins as TechCube, a smart locker solution, to a comprehensive IT asset management (ITAM) provider. The initial focus was on helping engineers access devices for app development without the hassle of traditional IT processes. As the company grew, it pivoted towards software solutions that enable organizations to manage their entire IT fleet, including laptops, desktops, and mobile devices, while ensuring compliance and cost savings.Teqtivity's ITAM solution is designed to cater to a wide range of clients, from startups to large enterprises, allowing them to track the lifecycle of their assets from procurement to end-of-life. The company differentiates itself in a mature market through a unique pricing model that charges based on active users rather than the number of assets managed. This approach, combined with customizable software tailored to each client's specific needs, positions Techquivity as a flexible and user-friendly option in the ITAM landscape.Hasmukh also reflects on a significant data breach that impacted one of their customers, emphasizing the lessons learned regarding security posture and the importance of ongoing training and testing. Following the incident, Techquivity implemented more rigorous security measures, including regular penetration testing and the integration of advanced security tools like CrowdStrike to protect their infrastructure and customer data.Looking to the future, Hasmukh shares insights on the role of artificial intelligence in IT asset management, suggesting that AI will serve as an extension of IT teams rather than a replacement. By automating routine tasks, AI can free up IT professionals to focus on more critical security issues. Teqtivity aims to incorporate AI into its roadmap, enhancing its offerings and helping clients achieve greater organizational efficiency and accuracy in asset management.

Microsoft rediseña la pantalla azul de Windows y promete una experiencia más rápida para reinicios críticosPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoSi tú, como yo, has usado Windows durante años, seguro has visto esa temida pantalla azul que detiene todo de golpe. Ahora Microsoft quiere cambiarla. El objetivo es que se vea más bonita, más simple y que nos deje volver al trabajo más rápido. ¿De verdad un cambio de color y diseño puede lograr eso? El rediseño elimina la carita triste, los códigos QR y hasta el color azul. A algunos nos da nostalgia, otros lo agradecen. Pero lo cierto es que el sistema sigue fallando de vez en cuando. ¿Será que este cambio visual trae una solución real o solo es maquillaje para el mismo dolor de cabeza?Aunque suene bastante prometedor, algunos dudan de su verdadero beneficio.Yo he estado ahí. Estás trabajando, haciendo algo importante, y de pronto: ¡pam!, se congela la pantalla y aparece ese fondo azul que nos dice que Windows tuvo un problema y necesita reiniciarse. A veces da rabia, a veces da risa, y a veces da pánico si olvidaste guardar el archivo. Esa pantalla azul tiene historia, ha estado con nosotros desde hace décadas. Ahora Microsoft dice que va a cambiarla. En lugar de azul, el fondo va a ser negro, al menos en las versiones de prueba. También van a desaparecer la carita triste y el código QR. La idea, según ellos, es que todo se vea más limpio, más alineado con el diseño moderno de Windows 11. Y aunque el cambio puede parecer menor, hay muchas preguntas sobre si esto realmente ayuda a mejorar algo más allá de lo visual.La verdad, cambiar el diseño de la pantalla no quita que el problema sigue siendo el mismo: el sistema se cae. Microsoft dice que quiere que volvamos al trabajo más rápido, pero en ese momento, cuando todo se bloquea, lo que más necesitamos es entender qué pasó. Antes, al menos con el código QR podíamos escanear y buscar una solución. Ahora, el mensaje dice simplemente: “Tu dispositivo tuvo un problema y necesita reiniciarse”. Punto. La información técnica aparece, pero chiquita y al fondo. Para quienes no somos ingenieros, eso no sirve de mucho. Y si tú eres de los que ya se acostumbró a que Windows se bloquee menos que antes, seguro aún recuerdas lo frustrante que es. iOS y Android también fallan, pero en mi caso, Windows ha sido el más escandaloso al momento de colapsar. Y eso que lo uso todos los días.Microsoft dice que el nuevo diseño es parte de su esfuerzo por hacer todo más fluido, más elegante, y que esta nueva pantalla sigue mostrando los datos técnicos pero de forma más ordenada. También presentaron algo que suena más útil: una herramienta llamada Quick Machine Recovery, que promete ayudarte a restaurar el equipo rápido después de un fallo grave, como los que provocó el incidente con CrowdStrike. Además, con las nuevas versiones de prueba, puedes usar Win+C para llamar al asistente Copilot con inteligencia artificial, y hay una nueva función en el lector de pantalla Narrador que muestra hasta 500 frases anteriores. Todo esto suena a mejoras reales, pero vuelve la pregunta: ¿esto arregla el problema o solo lo presenta con mejor diseño? Yo, que uso Windows para editar, escribir y grabar, espero que lo verdaderamente importante —la estabilidad— no se quede atrás.Esta pantalla azul que Microsoft quiere despedir no es cualquier pantalla. Ha sido una especie de ícono. Desde Windows NT y 95 ya nos daba ese susto azul con letras blancas. Con Windows 8 le pusieron una carita triste y, desde Windows 10, agregaron un código QR que podías escanear para buscar la causa del fallo. Pero ahora, con Windows 11 versión 24H2, están probando un fondo negro. Y para los que están en el programa de pruebas, ese fondo se ve verde. Sí, verde. Según The Register y The Verge, no está claro si el color final será negro, azul o algún otro. Lo que sí parece definitivo es que todo será más simple, como las pantallas de actualización que ya conocemos. Algunos expertos dicen que Microsoft quiere alejarse de la mala fama que tiene el color azul. Otros creen que es simplemente una parte del rediseño visual completo que están haciendo en todo Windows 11. Incluso están cambiando la pantalla de inicio de sesión para que todo se vea igual de elegante.Esta renovación de la famosa Pantalla Azul busca alinear la estética con Windows 11 y mejorar la productividad. El proyecto ofrece una interfaz más simple, sin rostros tristes ni códigos QR. ¿Logrará Microsoft que los reinicios sean menos tediosos? Queremos conocer tu opinión sobre este cambio visual. Te invitamos a opinar y a seguirnos en nuestro pódcast Flash Diario:

When an adversary wants to target an organization, they want to make it look like they're coming from a regional or local internet service provider. This makes their activity seem more legitimate and buys time until they get caught. Proxies, which adversaries can use to conceal the origin of malicious traffic, are essential to this process. NSOCKS is a residential proxy provider that CrowdStrike researchers dug into to learn more about how it was constructed and proactively identify how adversaries were using it to mask their attacks. They found that a range of internet of things (IoT) devices, such as home routers and network-attached storage (NAS) devices, are targeted by proxy providers to build out infrastructure and provide access to residential internet connections. Many of these devices have basic misconfiguration issues that make them accessible to attackers, but the CrowdStrike team was also able to identify a range of zero-day and n-day vulnerabilities being used. Joel Snape, Senior Security Researcher at CrowdStrike, is part of that team. In this episode, Joel and Adam get into the details of the researchers' findings, from how NSOCKS works to its takedown in late 2024 and the steps listeners can take to identify suspicious activity on their networks. Joel has presented this research at multiple security conferences — and now he brings it to the Adversary Universe podcast.

And if it can't be used for growth, it's coming back as dividends and buybacks.MongoDB is a stock the PlayingFTSE Show has been looking at for a while. And it took an almighty hit this week, with shares down over 30%. The reason is a weak outlook for the next three months, but the company has been known to guide low and then work higher before. Steve D has been checking this one out.Despite full year revenues being up 11%, shares in Greggs fell sharply this week. This doesn't seem to make sense, but Steve W thinks he can see what's going on. The latest news is that trading conditions are tough right now. But with the company set to increase its store count by 5% this year, could it be a bargain at today's prices?Transmedics has been the subject of a short report recently and the stock is down further after its results for the last year. But the business is well ahead of the competition.Steve D has been on this one for a while and is impressed by the company's response to the allegations from Scorpion Capital.

El 2025 no empieza de la mejor manera para CrowdStrike. La compañía de ciberseguridad, cuyos fallos provocaron miles de retrasos en infinidad de vuelos, presentó el miércoles unos resultados que decepcionaron al mercado. La tecnológica tuvo un beneficio por acción que provocó caídas del 6% en sus acciones. Las previsiones para 2025 tampoco son halagüeñas. CrowdStrike anunció un beneficio por acción de 3,33 y 3,45 dólares, por debajo de los 4,42 previstos por el mercado. CrowdStrike saltó a nuestro radar el 21 de julio del año pasado. Un fallo en cadena, que afectó también a Windows y a su plataforma de IA Azure provocó una reacción multitudinaria que afectó a numerosos bancos y sobre todo a aerolíneas. Sus redes corporativas colapsaron, provocando miles de retrasos en vuelos. La firma de ciberseguridad aseguró ese día, en múltiples ocasiones, que no fue un hackeo y sí un enorme fallo de seguridad. Las máquinas de los aeropuertos se quedaron en estado continúo de reinicio y provocaron las pesadillas de miles de empleados y controladores aéreos con la temida “pantalla azul”. Pero no era la primera vez que le pasaba a la compañía. En 2014, un grupo de hackers aprovechó una brecha en la seguridad de Sony Pictures, que utilizaba entonces los servicios de CrowdStrike y consiguieron acceder a datos confidenciales de la empresa japonesa. George Kurtz, CEO de CrowdStrike, advirtió el martes a la CNBC que los ataques de los hackers solo van a ir a peor, ya que como reconoció a la cadena, la rapidez con la que atacan es cada vez mayor. En la presentación de resultados, Kurtz indicó que están “viendo un fuerte impulso en nuestros negocios de gestión de información y eventos de seguridad de próxima generación”. Aunque viendo sus pobres resultados y el fallo masivo de seguridad, ¿Qué futuro tiene la compañía? George Kurtz, ex trabajador de McAffee, fundó la empresa de ciberseguridad CrowdStrike en 2012. El fallo informático multitudinario tuvo también una historia curiosa. La compañía aerolínea SouthWest fue de las pocas que se salvó de la quema al usar el mismo sistema operativo Windows que llevaba usando los últimos 32 años. Al no actualizar nunca el sistema, sus aviones operaron con toda normalidad.

Donald Trumps Rede zur Lage der Nation war aggressiv und laut, aber mit wenigen neuen Informationen. Im Fokus stehen die Kommentare von US-Handelsminister Howard Lutnick. In einem FOX-Interview wurde signalisiert, dass es heute Nachmittag Meldungen zur Zollpolitik geben wird. Die Wall Street geht davon aus, dass man die Auto-Industrie von den Zollanhebungen wohl befreien wird. Die Branche warnt vor drohenden Preisanhebungen um 25%, mit einem möglichen Einbruch der Produktion in Nordamerika um täglich 20.000 Fahrzeuge, berichtet CNBC. Was die Wirtschaft betrifft, bleibt das Bild verhangen. Laut des Lohnabwicklers ADP wurden im Februar deutlich weniger Jobs geschaffen als erwartet. Gleichzeitig fallen die seit gestern Abend gemeldeten Zahlen überwiegend enttäuschend aus. Campbell‘s, CrowdStrike enttäuscht bei den Aussichten, vor allem wegen eines höheren Steuersatzes. Abercrombie, Foot Locker, Ross Stores enttäuschen alle bei den Aussichten. Bei Tesla gibt es erneut negative Meldungen aus Europa. Die Februar-Registrierungen lagen in Deutschland 76% unter Vorjahresniveau, obwohl branchenweit die eAuto-Registrierungen 31% über Vorjahresniveau lagen.

China's cyber enterprise is rapidly growing: China-nexus activity was up 150% across industries in 2024, with a 200-300% surge in key sectors such as financial services, media, manufacturing, and industrials/engineering. CrowdStrike identified seven new China-nexus adversaries in 2024. “After decades investing in offensive cyber capabilities, China has achieved parity with some of the top players out there, and I think that is the thing that should terrify everybody,” Adam says. China-nexus threat actors aren't the only ones evolving their cyber operations. As the CrowdStrike 2025 Global Threat Report shows, nation-state and eCrime adversaries spanning regions and skill levels are gaining speed and refining their techniques. They're learning what works and what doesn't, and they're scaling their effective tactics to achieve their goals. So what works? Voice phishing (vishing) skyrocketed 442% between the first and second half of 2024 as adversaries leaned on vishing, callback phishing, and help desk social engineering to access target networks. Generative AI played a key role in social engineering, where its low barrier to entry and powerful capabilities help adversaries create convincing content at scale. Compromised credentials also proved handy last year, helping threat actors enter and move laterally through organizations and operate as legitimate users. What doesn't work as well? Malware. 79% of detections in 2024 were malware-free, indicating a rise in hands-on-keyboard activity as adversaries face stronger security defenses. Tune in to hear Adam and Cristian dig into the key findings of the CrowdStrike 2025 Global Threat Report, which also examines the latest on cloud-focused attacks, vulnerability exploitation, and nation-state activity around the world.

Dave Sampson is the Vice President of Cyber Risk & Strategy at Thrive. In his role, he heads Thrive's Consulting Practice, where he and his team of experts join forces with clients to deliver strategic guidance on a range of topics, including cybersecurity, IT operations, Cloud, Microsoft 365, compliance, disaster recovery planning, and more. Over the course of his extensive career, Dave has taken up various influential positions in the industry. He served as a Senior Consulting Technical Solution Manager at IBM, was Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Itrica, founded and served as CEO of Cloud Provider USA, and held the position of Chief Technology Officer at ColoSpace. Dave holds an MBA from Northeastern University and a BS in Communication and Media Studies from Emerson College. He is a former elected official in his hometown of Sandwich, MA. In this episode… As the cyber threat landscape becomes more unpredictable, organizations often struggle with implementing and managing different security tools and ensuring systems communicate effectively to keep up with threats. Organizations can no longer afford to take a reactive approach. Without a clear strategy and proper proactive security measures, organizations face operational disruptions, increased vulnerability to attacks, and challenges in responding to security incidents. So, how can companies take a smarter, more proactive approach to cyber risk management? A proactive cybersecurity strategy isn't just about having the right tools — it's about integrating these tools effectively and ensuring visibility across systems to detect risk and prepare for worst-case scenarios. Companies like Thrive are making this process more efficient with their security platform that combines industry leading security tools, real-time monitoring, and AI-driven automation into a cohesive, managed solution that helps companies optimize operations and mitigate cyber risks. Yet, beyond the technology, companies also need to establish a disaster recovery plan, maintain transparency with third-party vendors, and perform privacy and security risk assessments to further enhance security and privacy measures and incident preparedness. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels talk with Dave Sampson, VP of Cyber Risk & Strategy at Thrive, about the critical components of cyber risk management. Dave discusses the challenges of integrating security solutions, the lessons learned from the CrowdStrike incident, and how AI is both a threat and an advantage in cybersecurity. He shares insights on cybersecurity best practices and discusses the growing need for outsourcing cybersecurity expertise, the role of third-party risk management, and the importance of disaster recovery planning. Dave also offers practical tips for strengthening both personal and enterprise security, emphasizing the need for vigilance, adaptability, and a proactive security mindset.

Managed service providers (MSPs) are facing significant challenges as recent data reveals that 18% are operating at a loss, a concerning increase from 14% in the previous quarter. While overall managed service revenue growth has slowed to just 1%, profitability remains relatively high, with an average EBITDA of 11.1%. However, the decline in services revenue, particularly among value-added resellers (VARs), indicates a potential shift in client spending habits, raising questions about the sustainability of traditional service contracts. This trend suggests that clients may be reverting to transactional IT spending rather than fully managed services.In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), a report from NTT Data highlights a growing responsibility gap in AI adoption, with over 80% of business leaders acknowledging that governance is not keeping pace with technological advancements. The divide among executives regarding the prioritization of responsibility versus innovation complicates the landscape, as 89% express concerns about security risks associated with AI, yet only 24% feel prepared to manage these risks. This lack of alignment could hinder AI adoption and create compliance challenges, emphasizing the need for structured governance policies.OpenAI has announced plans for its upcoming GPT-4.5 and GPT-5 models, aiming to unify its product lineup and enhance functionality across various tasks. The new models will offer different levels of intelligence based on user subscriptions, with a focus on addressing ethical concerns in AI, such as misinformation and self-harm. Meanwhile, Apple is partnering with Alibaba to integrate AI technology into its iPhones, reflecting a strategic move to enhance its AI capabilities while navigating regulatory landscapes.CrowdStrike has introduced Charlotte AI Detection Triage, an AI-driven tool designed to automate alert assessments in security operations, achieving over 98% accuracy and significantly reducing manual workloads. This development underscores the increasing necessity for AI-driven automation in cybersecurity, as adversaries can now exploit vulnerabilities within minutes. The integration of AI into existing platforms, rather than as standalone tools, is preferred by cybersecurity professionals, highlighting the importance of delivering value through AI-enhanced solutions.

Cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure have made more headlines in recent years, sparking concern about how these systems are protected. Adversaries are taking aim at older technologies that are both essential to everyday life and difficult to secure. Our guest for this episode is Greg Bell, chief strategy officer at Corelight. Before he co-founded the network security firm, Greg spent most of his career working in the National Laboratory system, part of the U.S. Department of Energy. He brings his perspective and expertise to this conversation about energy sector threats, the adversaries behind them, and the unique challenges that utility organizations face in detecting and defending against cyberattacks. There is a scary side to energy sector threats — but there is also an optimistic side. Adam, Cristian, and Greg discuss everything from the history of critical infrastructure threats to the attacks they're seeing today, the complications of securing energy systems, and collaborative efforts to improve defense. Key to these efforts are partnerships like the one between CrowdStrike and Corelight, which work together to improve network threat detection and response.
