Malware Cards

Malware Intelligence Cards (aka Malware Cards) provide an on-demand summary of essential information related to a specific Malware, and are updated in real time as Recorded Future collects new information. You can use Malware Cards as a starting point when assessing whether this Malware poses a specific risk to your organization, and further can be used in identify associated indicators of compromise. Malware Cards are also pivot points during investigations that start with another indicator, a vulnerability, or a threat actor.

Descriptions of several common components of the Malware Card are found in the Overview of Intelligence Cards; the details below are specific to the Malware Card:

The second timeline summarizes reported Cyber Attack and Cyber Exploit events specifically.
