Weekly Threat Hunting

This week Redline and Amadey have remained as the most frequently submitted threats, followed by SmokeLoader and AgentTesla. As noted in recent weeks, we continue to observe Downloaders and Information Stealers as the top submitted threat types. Over the past few weeks, we've seen a decline in Stop/Djvu Ransomware submissions that we saw spike in June.

Last Week's Top User Submitted Threats

This week we've observed a decrease in Bot and RAT threat types compared to previous weeks. This decline may be a secondary effect of the high volume of Redline and Amadey malware samples processed this week. We will be looking at how we compile the top threats to determine if there are additional metrics that may provide a more accurate view of the weeks most prominent threats and threat trends between the weeks.
