The Persian Wolves Are Back From Their Nap and I Haven't Had Mine
Oh good. Great. Wonderful. Just what I needed at 3 AM while I'm already drowning in tickets about Lambs who can't remember their pasture credentials.
The Iranian wolves known as "Infy" have crawled back out of whatever den they've been hibernating in for the past five years. You remember these predators, right? The ones who were prowling around the Swedish, Dutch, and Turkish meadows back in the day? Yeah. They're back. And apparently the scale of their hunting operation is "more significant than originally anticipated."
Fantastic. Love that for us.
According to the folks at SafeBreach who actually get paid to track these things, Prince of Persia, as they're also called, has been busy. Five years of silence and now they show up like a relative who only visits when they need something. Except instead of borrowing money, they're deploying fresh parasites across the pasture.
I've already got three Lambs in my inbox asking if they should be worried. Yes. The answer is always yes. You should have been worried years ago when I sent that memo about suspicious grain deliveries that nobody read.
The wolves never really go away, you know. They just get quiet. They watch. They wait. And then they come back with new tricks while the Shepherds are busy approving budget cuts to the Electric Fence maintenance program.
I'm so tired.
Remediation
Look, I'll make this simple because my coffee ran out two hours ago:
- Update your threat intelligence feeds. If you're not tracking Iranian wolf packs, start now. I don't care if you have to do it manually.
- Review your Electric Fence rules. Block known indicators of compromise. SafeBreach has the details. Go read them. I'm not your mother.
- Remind the Flock. Again. For the millionth time. Don't click suspicious links. Don't open weird attachments. I know they won't listen but at least we'll have documentation when everything catches fire.
- Check for holes in the fence. Shearing schedules need to be current. If you're behind on patches, congratulations, you're basically leaving the gate open with a welcome sign.
- Monitor for unusual outbound traffic. These parasites phone home eventually. Watch for it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have 47 more tickets and a cold cup of despair waiting for me.
