Labs Notes Monthly Recap – Feb/2017

  • March 3, 2017

Every month we recap the latest posts on Sucuri Labs, written by our Malware Research Team (MRT) and Incident Response Team (IRT).

The Sucuri Labs website provides technical analysis and industry updates directly from our teams on the front line. You can read past-monthly recaps for an overview of the posts we’ve released.

Last month, we saw several new methods attackers use to sustain their campaigns as long as possible. This month, we notice a lot of spam campaigns using hacked sites to host redirects and acting as an intermediary. We also go over a few interesting new tactics we discovered while cleaning hacked sites.
