Research Saturday

The return of a malware menace.


Listen Later

This week we are joined by, Selena Larson from Proofpoint, who is discussing their research, "Bumblebee Buzzes Back in Black." Bumblebee is a sophisticated downloader used by multiple cybercriminal threat actors and was a favored payload from its first appearance in March 2022 through October 2023 before disappearing.

After a four month hiatus, Proofpoint researchers found that the downloader returned. Its return aligns with a surge of cybercriminal threat activity after a notable absence of many threat actors and malware.

The research can be found here:
