Trellix’s John Fokker on the latest cybercriminal snapshot

CyberScoop Editor-in-Chief Greg Otto was out at Mandiant’s mWISE conference last week, and talked with Trellix’s head of threat intelligence, John Fokker, about a host of different subjects. In the first portion of the interview, Greg and John discuss how the Ransomware-as-a-Service landscape has changed in the past year, and how threat actors have adjusted to the changes the industry has made in order to stop their schemes. In the second half, Greg and John talk about threat actors’ use of AI, which is in its experimentation phrase (like everyone else). In the reporter chat, Greg talks with AJ Vicens about research that shows how the walls are closing in on a suspect responsible for breaches tied to Snowflake.
