🎙️ 🇺🇸 In The Washington Times: In the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee’s first hearing of the new Congress, SentinelOne's Brandon Wales told lawmakers that "previously there was a clear division of labor between offense and defense in the U.S. government’s cyberspace strategy ... [Wales] said tandem operations have worked best when defensive actors share information about adversaries’ domestic cyberattacks with U.S. Cyber Command." "Mr. Wales told lawmakers that Cyber Command has successfully used such information to target ransomware operators, but he said more integration between offensive and defensive cyber operators was necessary."

🚨🔒 HellCat and Morpheus ransomware operations have been gaining momentum and notoriety in the past six months. Our new analysis shows how they use identical code despite operational differences in their brands and visibility. HellCat and Morpheus payloads are atypical to other ransomware families in leaving original file extensions in place after encryption. It appears that a shared codebase or possibly a shared builder application is being leveraged by affiliates tied to both operations. Understanding how common code is sourced and shared across these groups can further help inform detection efforts and improve threat intelligence regarding how they operate.
