The death of Flash has reduced the typical browser’s attack surface but these groups are still at it. Just tonight, the successors to that team unmasked APT 32. This time with Yara rules to burn their infra! Transparency in this area has definitely improved. https://t.co/HRQINm48y8

Idk if Facebook made the right move by doxxing APT32 publicly prior to any arrests, nor without showing proof for their work, but they did it.. what do you think?https://t.co/nI02SeRUpm

This is interesting. Facebook is identifying APT32, a Vietnamese gov't associated hacker group, likely the most notorious one outside of China/Iran/NK/Russia, to a particular IT company called CyberOne Technologies.https://t.co/Yf8s0M4lME
