"URGENT. Please call me on the cell at your earliest convenience." This text message to the University of Hawaii CISO launched an extensive investigation into a highly targeted attack on the UH network. This session will replay the details of the investigation as it unfolded and walk through specific tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by a highly skilled adversary to gain a foothold into a UH research network. Lessons learned and remediation efforts to detect the return of the attackers will also be addressed.
