Last month, we observed the scanning for CVE-2017-9841 fell sharply, and this month is no different, with scanning for that vulnerability falling another 79% from July’s rate. Overall, it’s down 97.4%…

Who Is Scanning for CVE-2023-1389?

Running these analyses again,…

Shellshock shows more targeting variability from month to month than most CVEs (not including CVE-2020-11625, which has…

This month’s attack data is, at least in the most seen attacks, much like recent months. We continued to tweak our approach to threat hunting this month and managed to find…
