Well, today is Day 11 of the Cyber Security Awareness Month and the last day of Identification.

We have covered in the last few days the more common methods of deciding that an event is actually an incident, including:

  • Events versus Incidents
  • Network-based Intrusion Detection Systems
  • Host-based Intrusion Detection Systems
  • Global Incident Awareness
  • Log and Audit Analysis
  • Using Your Help Desk to Identify Security Incidents

But today, we're interesting in hearing your stories from the field on unusual, interesting, and even funny stories of how you made the decision point of moving from event to incident. Drop us a note via the contact form, and we'll update the diary as we go along

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
