Log4j vulnerabilities, likely Iran-backed attacks on telecoms companies, and new Rust-based Noberus ransomware

Symantec Cyber Security Brief Podcast

On this week’s Cyber Security Brief podcast, Brigid O Gorman and Dick O’Brien are joined by Symantec Threat Analyst Alan Neville to discuss the vulnerabilities in Apache Log4j that made lots of headlines this week. We also discuss two other blogs that Symantec published this week, including one looking at an attack campaign aimed at telecoms companies in the Middle East and Asia that appears likely to have originated from Iran-based attackers. Meanwhile, we also talk about a blog we published covering details about a new Rust-based malware we have dubbed Noberus (ALPHV/BlackCat). This is our last Cyber Security Brief podcast of 2021, we will be back on January 13.
