abuse.ch, a long-running community-driven threat intelligence provider, announced a new Hunting Platform that consolidates data from its seven existing platforms into a single searchable interface. The release allows analysts to query previously non-public datasets and introduces a consolidated False Positive List, accessible via web and API, to improve data transparency.
Alongside the new platform, abuse.ch rolled out several feature updates: URLhaus now supports payload overviews, on-demand URL rescans, and hunting alerts; YARAify gained auto-delete options for submitted files, rescan capability, and API-based YARA rule deployment; and ThreatFox added ASN enrichment for network-based IOCs. MalwareBazaar also introduced automatic parsing of malicious Bash scripts to extract payload delivery URLs.
This is a platform and tooling announcement rather than a threat report - it describes infrastructure improvements intended to help the security community aggregate and hunt for indicators more efficiently, with no specific new threat, vulnerability, or campaign disclosed.

Free public brief. Slack alerts on the vendors you run come with the paid plans, and a new account gets three days of them, no card.
What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the malware it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
