This week, Dave speaks with Max Gannon of Cofense Intelligence to dive into his team's research on "The Rise of Precision-Validated Credential Theft: A New Challenge for Defenders."

Threat actors continuously develop new tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to bypass existing defenses. When defenders identify these methods and implement countermeasures, attackers adapt or create more sophisticated approaches.

This research explores how cybercriminals are leveling up their credential phishing tactics using Precision-Validated Phishing, a technique that leverages real-time email validation to ensure only high-value targets receive the phishing attempt.

The research can be found here:
