Storm⚡️Watch - 7/17/23

In this episode of the Storm Watch podcast, the hosts discuss their recent vacations and the mandatory two-week shutdown at GreyNoise.  The conversation then shifts to the MOVEit software and its increasing number of CVEs. Kimber suggests that the surge in CVEs might be due to researchers taking a closer look at MOVEIt for the first time, as it is a critical software used in government entities. The hosts also discuss the possibility that similar software might become a focus for attackers in the coming months. Next, the hosts talk about the lack of new tags due to their vacation and a recent bump in Mirai activity. They mention a double-encoded URL tag that has doubled the number of IP addresses, but they don't have any hypotheses about the reasons behind it. They also touch on the ability of GPT to create Python notebooks on the fly and the potential security risks associated with it. Finally, the hosts discuss NoiseFest, an upcoming event celebrating all things GreyNoise. Kimber shares her excitement about the Capture the Flag (CTF) competition that will take place during the week of Black Hat and DEF CON.  Join our Community Slack >> Learn more about GreyNoise >>
