This week, our guest is Reece Baldwin from Kasada discussing their work on "No Honour Amongst Thieves: Unpacking a New OpenBullet Malware Campaign." The Kasada Threat Intelligence team has recently identified a malware campaign targeting users of OpenBullet, a tool popular within criminal communities to conduct credential stuffing attacks.

Th research states "While the versatility of OpenBullet’s configuration files enable complex attacks, they can also make it difficult for inexperienced attackers to fully understand what requests are being created and what data is being retrieved."
