William Thomas

Senior Threat Intelligence Advisor

Will Thomas is a Senior Threat Intelligence Advisor at Team Cymru with over 9 years experience in cybersecurity. He previously worked as the Head of Threat Hunting at Equinix, the world’s largest data center company, and is the co-author of the SANS FOR589 Cybercrime course and SANS Instructor. Before this, he worked for Cyjax, a CTI vendor that works with UK banks and police. He is well-known for the research on his personal blog (bushidotoken.net) and his work as the co-founder of the Curated Intel trust group. He has presented his research at various conferences including Underground Economy, DEFCON, Sleuthcon, and CyberThreatUK.

In this talk, my aim is to share how Team Cymru can track and identify upstream connectivity related to ransomware exfiltration activities via its collection of 300b+ daily NetFlow records from hundreds of ISPs around the world. Two key groups that are the focus of this talk will be Akira and Warlock. Each group's exfiltration infrastructure will be detailed in depth so that attendees can take the lessons learned and apply them to their own data sets for threat hunting, threat detection, and incident response. The talk will end with further exfiltration detection opportunities using a continuously updated and open source threat intelligence knowledge graph called the Ransomware Tool Matrix.
