John FurrierHOST
They're looking at another IPO prospect.
John FurrierHOST
Okta, Octane.
Howard TingGUEST
You know, we're kind of operating the same VC portfolio.
Howard TingGUEST
And they did an incredible job proving value because they could go in, just connect to your existing email inbox, look at all of the bad emails, business compromise emails that Proofpoint or whatever email security incumbent you have let through, and they could show you the value literally in an hour.
Howard TingGUEST
you know, same thing when I was at Palo Alto networks, uh, I was one of the very early employees, their employees, 60 or 70.
Howard TingGUEST
And, uh, we had this incredible, uh, um, uh, evaluation process.
Lori Beth BlairGUEST
That's especially crucial for any B2B senders out there because you can get blocked.
Lori Beth BlairGUEST
At Mimecast or Proofpoint or a Barracuda or Cisco, some spam filter, it's maybe 5% of your list, but depending on your list size, it's material.
Lori Beth BlairGUEST
When I was doing a billion emails a day, I had one brand alone that was about a half or not a day, a month.
Lori Beth BlairGUEST
I had one brand alone that was a little over half a billion of that.

You're listening to Discarded, Tales from the Threat Research Trenches, a podcast by Proofpoint for security practitioners.
Selena LarsonHOST
Each episode, you'll hear from security researchers, malware analysts, threat hunters, and more as we dive into what's going on in the world of cyber attacks and how defenders safeguard us from threats.
Selena LarsonHOST
Let's
Mark KellyGUEST
get into the show.
Selena LarsonHOST
Hello to all our cybernauties and welcome to the Proofpoint Discarded podcast.
Selena LarsonHOST
I'm your host, Celina Larsen, here today with a very special episode talking about some research that the team recently put out in a blog that I will link to in the show notes called Once in a Blue Moon, Multiple State-Aligned Threat Actors Rapidly Adopt Novel Exploit Chain Using Chrome and Windows Zero Days.
Selena LarsonHOST
It's a really, really interesting piece and some fantastic research.
Selena LarsonHOST
This has been a very Mark-heavy summer.
Michael HooshHOST
On the technology side, we're also seeing security vendors respond to these new challenges.
Michael HooshHOST
Proofpoint, for example, has expanded its AI-powered investigation tools for Microsoft 365, giving organizations deeper visibility into insider risk and AI-related activity.
Michael HooshHOST
As AI becomes more integrated into daily business workflows, having the ability to detect anomalous behavior and potential data leakage tied to AI usage is going to be essential.
Michael HooshHOST
These kinds of monitoring tools will play a key role in managing new classes of risk and ensuring ongoing compliance.
Claire AirdHOST
The kit was spotted in late August.
Claire AirdHOST
According to Proofpoint and Volexity, at least two of the four groups using the kit have a Chinese state nexus.
Claire AirdHOST
Google has released patches for an actively exploited Chrome zero-day.
Claire AirdHOST
The zero-day is a memory corruption bug in Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine, and was discovered by a student at the Seoul National University.
Costin RaiuHOST
You, you, you wouldn't expect that.
Costin RaiuHOST
And I thought it was surprising to, to hear all that, uh, experience from the largest, uh, security, private security company, uh, on, on the planet.
Ryan NaraineHOST
Nothing else you can tell us about any...
Ryan NaraineHOST
I mean, I know you've got to be careful about the talks.

Juan Andres Guerrero-SaadeHOST
Well, that, that...
Juan Andres Guerrero-SaadeHOST
I mean, that's...
Juan Andres Guerrero-SaadeHOST
Look, re- realize what that implies, right? That implies that for this company, the perception game that they are a better, you know, that they, that they can provide a model with parity and, uh, a parity of capability, was worth what surely must have been a massive loss of money in relaying requests to Anthropic and then pushing them out to other folks.
Juan Andres Guerrero-SaadeHOST
And I'm really curious, like I would want to read this a little more carefully, 'cause what pointed it to me was like a, was a Twitter post.

Blue Moon races through the patch gap.
Sarah LaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Proofpoint tells the register that at least four espionage groups, most suspected of links to China, including cyber espionage group TA412, quickly adopted a new exploit kit called Blue Moon against fewer than 20 known organizations in the U.S. and Southeast Asia.
Sarah LaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A phishing chain links two Chromium bugs with a Windows privilege escalation flaw to escape the browser sandbox and install surveillance tools or backdoors.
Sarah LaneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
All three flaws are now patched.
Lisa OwenHOST
Government agencies that haven't beefed up email security could be leaving the door open to hackers, according to an international cyber security company.
Lisa OwenHOST
It follows revelations data may have been stolen from Dunedin-based company Zentech and published online.
Lisa OwenHOST
The private company is involved in clinical trials but works with Health New Zealand.
Lisa OwenHOST
Zentech's parent company says it's taken some systems offline and it's brought in independent experts to review its system.
Lisa OwenHOST
It is not known how the alleged hack happened, but cyber criminals often use bogus emails booby-trapped with harmful software to break into systems.
Lisa OwenHOST
International cyber security company Proofpoint claims 50% of New Zealand government agencies are exposed when it comes to email security.
Lisa OwenHOST
It's senior director of Asia Pacific in Japan, Steve Moroz, joins us now.
Lisa OwenHOST
Hi, Steve.
Dave BittnerHOST
Group-IB confirmed the full attack chain in Indonesia, while compatible Gigabud samples targeted 11 countries.
Dave BittnerHOST
Researchers at Proofpoint have identified BlueMoon, a new exploit kit being used by at least four espionage groups, most with suspected links to China.
Dave BittnerHOST
Observed since August 28th, BlueMoon has targeted fewer than 20 known organizations in the US and Southeast Asia, though researchers believe the actual number is higher.
Dave BittnerHOST
The kit chains three vulnerabilities, two flaws affecting Chromium-based browsers and a Windows privilege escalation bug.
Dave BittnerHOST
The browser vulnerabilities were patch gap zero-days, meaning fixes were publicly available in Chromium source code before reaching stable browser releases.
Dave BittnerHOST
Proofpoint believes those patches may have helped developers build the exploits.
Dave BittnerHOST
Delivered through phishing links, BlueMoon can enable remote code execution, escape the browser sandbox, and elevate Windows privileges.
Dave BittnerHOST
Different campaigns have deployed browser surveillance malware, credential stealing backdoors, and ShadowPad against NGOs, aerospace companies, manufacturers, and government and financial organizations.
