This was a cool project for a few reasons. First, some of us have been working with Texas A&M since Endgame and it’s a partnership with a ton of history! Also it is a blast for us to work with other experts to achieve successes!

Replying to @elasticseclabs
@elasticseclabs is currently researching a new family of IIS malware impacting a large number of organizations globally. With a US university-based MDR provider, we’ve observed a novel attack chain, RMMs, a Godzilla-forked framework, and a malicious driver. Details coming soon.
