Smaller Businesses Are the Testbed for Malware - A Look at the Huntress Threat Report


Listen Later

Host Karl got together with Jamie Levy, Director of Adversary Tactics from Huntress. 

Jamie is also a longtime researcher, developer and board member of the Volatility Foundation. She has worked over 15 years in the digital forensics industry, conducting investigations as well as building out software solutions. 

We got together to discuss the Huntress 2024 Threat Report. Download here: https://www.huntress.com/resources/2024-cyber-threat-report?utm_campaign=CY24-Q2-Threat-Report&utm_source=smb-community-podcast&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=August-2024-threat-report

Jamie walks us through some of the major trends, including important "take-downs" and ransomware trends. One interesting finds is that squishing down one threat leaves room for other threats to increase.

Her analogy to apex predators in the animal world is excellent. 

Karl's favorite quote from this interview (though scary): "The smaller businesses are the testbed" for malware writers. Why have a test network when you can use live machines as your testbed? If feels like we knew that. Now we know it for sure.

Thanks to Huntress for their excellent 2024 Threat Report.
