InQuest Labs: Man + Machine vs Business Email Compromise (BEC)
2022-06-15 14:01

Generically, the industry has conformed to the term Business Email Compromise to capture this swath of threats, including impersonation, phishing, spoofing, and in more advanced cases, by way of a malicious attachment, including Adobe and Microsoft Office documents.

To help address this gap, we launched InQuest Labs, a free research portal designed to crowdsource the discovery of emerging threats.

Samples under DFI are labeled as unknown, suspicious, or malicious through a combination of heuristics, multi-AV, reputation, and machine learning models.

You can leverage our Labs API to automate the extraction of the network-related IOCs from all of these samples to shine a light on the overall infrastructure being used for this campaign.

Another approach towards discovering interesting malware is through a newer component of InQuest Labs, the Trystero project, where we measure the efficacy of the major mail providers in blocking emerging threats.

All-in-all, the intent of InQuest Labs is to provide the information security community with both accessible technology and data to discover and thwart emerging threats.
