In AD environments, Timeroasting exploits NTP authentication to request password hashes of computer/trust accounts. If non-standard or legacy passwords are used, offline brute-forcing is possible. I've created a KQL query to detect such activities. #KQL #Timeroast

Social Engineering Attack Alert - Teams & Emails

Kevin Beaumont shared insights on helping orgs recover from ransomware attacks. Key tactic: social engineering. Attackers used phone recon to gather contacts, then flooded users with emails & Teams messages. Custom KQL script for early detection:

CloudApp BEC Defense Policy - Axios

Attackers bypass MFA using a phishing framework with Axios HTTP client. Detect compromise in sign-in logs with user agent axios/1.7.7. Proposing auto-detection & isolation for SecOps assessment.
