  • Threat Report: Post-Exploitation Techniques in Allianz Breach, Ghost Calls, and Exchange Hybrid

    Threat Report: Post-Exploitation Techniques in Allianz Breach, Ghost Calls, and Exchange Hybrid

    This week’s threat intelligence roundup showcases the growing sophistication of post-exploitation techniques, with three notable cases revealing how attackers maintain persistence and escalate access after breaching initial defenses.

    A high-impact supply-chain breach at Allianz Life was enabled by compromised access to a third-party CRM provider, revealing the growing vulnerability of vendor ecosystems.

    Meanwhile, Ghost Calls emerged as a stealthy new method for abusing conferencing platforms to conduct command-and-control activity undetected. Finally, Microsoft issued urgent guidance for a privilege escalation flaw in hybrid Exchange environments, underscoring risks tied to identity federation.

    Here’s what security teams need to know.
