Our two cyber defense experts Evgen Blohm and Marius Genheimer had an exciting experience at the #BSides conference<\/strong> in Frankfurt am Main last week. As attendees of the conference, they really just wanted to learn about the latest developments in cyber defense. Unfortunately, a planned presentation was cancelled.<\/p>\n

To fill the gap, Evgen and Marius spontaneously agreed to share their insights from one of their recent #DFIR missions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The presentation titled “All your files are belong to us’ – Investigating a BianLian Extortion-Group Intrusion”<\/strong> was prepared but not planned for this conference.<\/p>\n

In the first part of the presentation, Evgen mainly reported on the cyberattack on one of our customers by the #BianLian #APT group, addressing the following questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

– How did the attackers penetrate the network?<\/strong><\/p>\n

– What was the timeline of the attack?<\/strong><\/p>\n

– What techniques and tools did the attackers use?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marius shared in his part some more insights about the APT group BianLian, such as their #Darkweb presence, their activities in forums and also #Threat #Intelligence information that #SECUINFRA could gain through the outreach about BianLian.<\/p>\n

Giving a paid talk at one of the numerous “sales conferences” is something (almost) anyone can do. To be able to speak at an insider conference like #BlackHat, #DefCon or #BSides is already an honor. To spontaneously switch roles as a guest at such an event and suddenly find yourself on stage as a speaker is very impressive.<\/p>\n

Well done Evgen and Marius \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
