--Anomali Threat Research was among the first to respond with actionable intelligence that empowered the security community to detect and respond to cyberattacks and threats that emerged in tandem with the COVID-19 global pandemic, which included publishing guidance with thousands of free IOCs to help any organizations detect and respond immediately to breaches and attackers (https://bit.ly/33qTIUv).


--As recognized experts, Anomali Threat Research blog findings are featured in leading global news publications such as US News and World Report, The Washington Post, Fortune, Fast Company, Wired, The Hill, Dark Reading, SecurityWeek, HelpNet Security, Yahoo! News, SC Magazine, The Cyberwire, Cyberscoop, ZD Net, The Hacker News, and Bleeping Computer. Recently, the team detected malicious activity from FIN7, an Eastern European threat group that primarily targets US-based companies. As the first research group to spot the campaign and provide details in the blog, it received widespread news attention across business and trade publications such as Yahoo! News (https://yhoo.it/3zQpeaw) and ThreatPost (https://threatpost.com/fin7-windows-11-release/169206/).
