I’ll be at Black Hat / DEF CON next month, so DM me if you want to meet up! I’ve lost count of how many I’ve been to now (actually it'd be depressing to know). As logistically chaotic as the week is, it’s always worth it to catch up with old friends and make new ones. 1/2
It seems that CISA is, in fact, shortening the time-to-fix for vulns added to the KEV of late. (Casual reminder that the KEV should not be used as "what we should patch" but it is a signal worth watching for awareness). #threatintel
Big day! Today I start at Censys leading Applied AI, Intelligence (A²I²?). Threat hunting is getting a major upgrade with what we’re scheming. Stay tuned…
Bittersweet yet exciting transition ahead. This week marks my last at GreyNoise. Lately I've spent a lot of time thinking about what I value most in this field: research and findings grounded in clarity, integrity, actionability, and truth that drives outcomes. #TheSignalShift
When the signal gets lost in the noise, you learn to tune into a new frequency. Sometimes change doesn’t ask; it hums beneath the static. #TheSignalShift
Looking forward to sharing the stage at [un]prompted with the wizard himself, @hrbrmstr.dev, as we showcase "Orbie" (a custom-built AI agent that analyzes internet-scale honeypot data to surface emerging threats and even identify campaigns).
Agenda - [un]prompted

Excited to share that I've been asked to speak at the Minorities in Cybersecurity Conference this March! I’ll be on a panel “How Do You Define Cybersecurity Experience? A Change in Perspective” where we’ll dig into what really counts as cybersecurity experience
My latest pet project, an RSS feed to alert you to the silent KEV knownRansomwareCampaignUse flips! (Did you know there were four CVEs flipped last week?) #threatintel
GreyNoise@greynoise.io · 6mo agoIn 2025, 59 CVEs quietly flipped to “known ransomware use” in CISA’s KEV...no alerts, no fanfare. 🧐 We dug through a year of JSON to catch every silent flip and built an RSS feed so you don’t miss the next one. Read the blog + grab the feed 🗞️
🍩 & #threatintel - 95% of exploitation attempts targeting CVE-2026-20045, a critical vulnerability in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, have used a distinctive user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; CiscoExploit/1.0) and are heavily targeting our Cisco Unified Communications Manager sensors. 1/2
☕ & #threatintel - Two campaigns (100x spike!) are hitting Ivanti Connect Secure; one loud (34K sessions from Romania/Moldova), one stealthy (~6K distributed IPs). Both target a pre-exploitation endpoint for CVE-2025-0282.
Inside the Infrastructure: Who’s Scanning for Ivanti Connect Secure? – GreyNoise Labs
GreyNoise detected a 100x surge in Ivanti Connect Secure reconnaissance targeting CVE-2025-0282 (EPSS 93%). Analysis reveals two distinct campaigns: an aggressive AS213790-based operation generating 34K+ sessions and a stealthier distributed botnet approach across 6K IPs. Infrastructure analysis and defender recommendations included.

CISA's KEV hit 1,500 yesterday. I'm working on a cool #threatintel blog (yes, I'm biased) about additional hidden intel in KEV that should be published soon, along with a helpful tool hosted by GreyNoise! :)
☕ & #threatintel: CISA has moved the due date for mitigating CVE-2025-55182 (Meta React Server Components Remote Code Execution Vulnerability) up by two weeks. It was initially set for December 26, but it is now due on December 12. 1/2

Exploitation of CitrixBleed 2 (CVE-2025-5777) Began Before PoC Was Public
GreyNoise has observed active exploitation attempts against CVE-2025-5777 (CitrixBleed 2), a memory overread vulnerability in Citrix NetScaler. Exploitation began on June 23 — nearly two weeks before a public proof-of-concept was released on July 4.

🥤& #threat-intel: CISA added Langflow Code Injection CVE-2025-3248 to the KEV on May 5. Recently, it has garnered considerable attention, with South Korea leading the pack. This vuln enables unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code via /api/v1/validate/code viz.greynoise.io/tag...
This change legitimately pisses me off. TL;DR—They appear to be removing RSS for KEV alerts and moving them to email or X. They gave orgs 0 days to prepare. RSS is already a thing. The emails arrive many hours later. X is NOT a gov website(!); it even warns you when you click their link! 1/2
Hi yes. Help your local cybersecurity researchers. If you blog a thing, please date the blog. kthx.
