Palo Alto Networks News of the Week – August 29

Check out the top Palo Alto Networks news from this past week.

Unit 42 observed a new Remote Access Tool (RAT), uWarrior, constructed by an unknown actor of Italian origin, and had been tracking a banking Trojan, Escelar, targeting thousands of victims in Brazil and the United States.

We participated in quite a few podcasts recently. Take a listen:

• Passcode’s “The Cybersecurity Podcast”: CSO Rick Howard discusses the half-life of secrets and the US military’s Starship Enterprise
• Fox Business Network’s FAST FORWARD podcast: Unit 42’s Ryan Olson talks to Jo Ling Kent about how consumers can better protect themselves online and the challenges the government faces in properly attributing cyberattacks.

This new on-demand webinar examines effective compensating control to prevent unknown exploits and exceed PCI DSS requirements.
