Hacktivists with exaggerated claims again?

3 years ago by cyberhakon to c/blueteam

The hacktivist group Anonymous Sudan claims to have breached Microsoft and stolen credentials from 30 million customers. Microsoft says they are lying. The group has done a lot of DDoS attacks, and claimed much bigger impact than they really have had. Exaggerated claims may lead to increased "panic state" at the top of the corporate food chain. How do you communicate about threat groups making bold statements like this to your higher ups or customers?

Blue Teamers are the first (and sometimes last) line of defense in the ongoing cyber war. This place is to chat out detection strategies, complain about SIEMs, compare SOAR playbooks, or post mean memes about the Red Team.
