Sophos showcases dark web discoveries, emerging threat research and machine learning innovations at Black Hat USA 2019, BSides Las Vegas and DEF CON 27

LAS VEGAS, NV  — 八月 6, 2019 —

Sophos (LSE: SOPH), a global leader in network and endpoint security, today unveiled detailed threat research from SophosLabs on Baldr, an information-stealer that first appeared January 2019. The report, Baldr vs the World, provides a deep dive on the popularity of the malware and its unique killchain characteristics. The in-depth research also reveals Baldr’s inner workings, including cybercriminal behaviors and missteps on both the selling and buying side that potentially led to its sudden disappearance from the deep web in June.

Baldr vs The World is the latest in a series of threat research examining evolving attacker techniques that will be showcased at Black Hat USA, DEF CON 27 and BSidesLV taking place this week in Las Vegas. Speaker presentations and live booth sessions will also spotlight machine learning innovation, including an interactive demonstration on hacking facial recognition systems at DEF CON’s AI Village.
