The blog post introduces Sift, a new tool from GreyNoise that helps threat hunters filter out noise and prioritize investigation of potentially malicious web traffic. Sift uses AI techniques like large language models to analyze HTTP requests seen across GreyNoise's sensor network and generate reports on new and relevant threats. The reports describe and analyze suspicious payloads, estimate the threat level, provide contextual tags/information on associated IPs, and suggest Suricata rules to detect similar traffic. This allows analysts to focus only on the most critical potential threats instead of sifting through millions of requests manually. Sift is currently limited to HTTP traffic but will expand to other protocols soon. The post invites readers to provide feedback on how to further develop Sift's capabilities, such as expanding historical reports, customizing for specific organizations, analyzing submitted PCAPs, and integrating additional GreyNoise data/tools.

The Human-Centered Cybersecurity program (formerly Usable Cybersecurity) is part of the Visualization and Usability Group at NIST. It was created in 2008, but we’ve known for quite some time that we needed to rename our program to better represent the broader scope of work we provide for the cybersecurity practitioner and IT professional communities. We made the decision to update the name to Human-Centered Cybersecurity to better reflect our new (but long-time practiced) mission statement, “ championing the human in cybersecurity.” With our new name, we hope to highlight that usability still
The victim shaming site operated by the Snatch ransomware group is leaking data about its true online location and internal operations, as well as the Internet addresses of its visitors, KrebsOnSecurity has found. The leaked data suggest that Snatch is one of several ransomware groups using paid ads on Google.com to trick people into installing malware disguised as popular free software, such as Microsoft Teams, Adobe Reader, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Discord.
