  • Russia’s Forest Blizzard Is Abusing Home + Small Office Routers for Cred Theft

    Russia’s Forest Blizzard Is Abusing Home + Small Office Routers for Cred Theft
    May 6 2026
    This week on the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host⁠ ⁠⁠Sherrod DeGrippo speaks with Danny Adamitis, Distinguished Engineer at Lumen Technologies’ Black Lotus Labs who break down how the Russian state-linked threat actor Forest Blizzard is exploiting home and small office routers to hijack DNS traffic, enabling large-scale surveillance and targeted credential theft. The conversation highlights how this low-cost approach scales globally, why unmanaged routers have become a critical weak point, and how tactics, from brute force to token theft to DNS hijacking continue to evolve. In this episode you’ll learn: How Forest Blizzard exploits home routers to intercept DNS traffic Why unmanaged routers are a major blind spot in modern security How tactics have evolved from brute force to token-based access Some questions we ask: What defines Forest Blizzard and how they operate? How does this impact machine-to-machine or service account security? What are the broader third-party or downstream risks?

  • The Cybercrime Shift: From Opportunistic Attacks to Marketplace-Driven Ecosystem

    The Cybercrime Shift: From Opportunistic Attacks to Marketplace-Driven Ecosystem
    Apr 22 2026
    In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host⁠ ⁠⁠Sherrod DeGrippo speaks with Maurice Mason and Jackie Burns-Koven to explore how cybercrime has shifted into a highly organized, marketplace-driven ecosystem. They break down the growing convergence between criminal networks and nation-state actors, highlighting how shared tools, infrastructure, and cryptocurrency have blurred traditional boundaries. The conversation dives into the rise of as-a-service cybercrime models, where access, malware, and infrastructure can be easily bought and sold, lowering barriers to entry and increasing attack volume. They also examine how blockchain intelligence is becoming a critical tool for tracking illicit activity, improving attribution, and disrupting operations. In this episode you’ll learn: How cybercrime has evolved into a scalable, marketplace-driven ecosystem Why initial access brokers are lowering the barrier to entry for attackers How proactive disruption and collaboration can reduce ransomware impact and payments Some questions we ask: What role does crypto intelligence play in prevention and detection? Why are threat actors shifting to alternative cryptocurrencies? How can defenders better protect themselves against these threats?

  • Ransomware: From Isolated Attacks to Global Criminal Ecosystem

    Ransomware: From Isolated Attacks to Global Criminal Ecosystem
    Apr 8 2026
    In this episode of the Microsoft Threat Intelligence Podcast, host⁠ ⁠⁠Sherrod DeGrippo speaks with Cynthia Kaiser to unpack the progression of ransomware from isolated attacks into a sophisticated global criminal ecosystem. Drawing on her two decades at the FBI and current role at Halcyon, Cynthia explains how cybercrime has scaled through organized networks, improved tactics, and increasing speed, with some attacks now unfolding in under an hour. The conversation explores how law enforcement strategies have shifted from targeting low-level actors to disrupting entire ecosystems, leading to more impactful takedowns. Cynthia also highlights the real-world consequences of ransomware, including its growing impact on critical infrastructure like hospitals and the potential for loss of life. The episode examines how AI is shaping both attacker and defender capabilities, accelerating phishing and access while also enabling stronger defensive responses. In this episode you’ll learn: How ransomware evolved into a global organized criminal ecosystem Why modern ransomware attacks are faster, more scalable, and harder to stop The real-world impact of ransomware, including risks to critical infrastructure Some questions we ask: How has ransomware shifted into a larger ecosystem over time? What are companies getting wrong about cyber insurance and recovery? Are autonomous AI-driven attacks a real threat yet?
