Explore the latest cybersecurity threat landscape in this 31-minute SecOps Weekly episode featuring Red Canary's Senior Intelligence Analyst Stef Rand as she previews the February Intelligence Insights Report covering top threats observed in January 2026. Dive deep into the malicious abuse of Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools, specifically ScreenConnect and NetSupport Manager, which dominated the threat rankings due to widespread exploitation by cybercriminals. Discover two newly identified threats making their debut: ClearFake, a sophisticated JavaScript-based attack cluster that compromises websites to deliver malware through deceptive captcha prompts and malicious copy-paste operations, and PS1Bot, a modular PowerShell-based information stealer distributed via SEO poisoning campaigns. Learn about the notable absence of 'JustAskJacky' from the top ten threats, indicating improved industry detection capabilities, while gaining detailed technical analysis of attack chains, detection strategies, and remediation recommendations. Understand the persistent effectiveness of PowerShell-based attacks and the critical importance of user education regarding malicious copy-paste techniques, with practical guidance on testing security measures across your environment to defend against these evolving threats.
