Palo Alto Networks News of the Week – October 10

All of our top news from this past week has been rounded up right here for easy consumption!

Unit 42 was especially busy this week:

• Publishing the 2015 Application Usage and Threat Report (AUTR)
• Finding new Apple iOS malware, YiSpecter, that attacks both jailbroken and non-jailbroken iOS devices
• Uncovering that the latest TeslaCrypt ransomware borrows code from Carberp Trojan
• Discussing the new anti-analysis trick the authors of Upatre added in an attempt to defeat sandboxes.

Unit 42 also released a new episode of the “Don’t Panic” podcast. Hear our CSOs from APAC, Japan and the US cover the larger topics that came out of Black Hat 2015.

Our VP, Regional CSO-APAC Sean Duca discussed the Australian threat environment.
