This is a vendor product blog from Maltego describing a new integration workflow that lets analysts query MISP instances, MITRE ATT&CK data, and MISP Galaxies directly from within the Maltego Graph interface. The piece walks through a demonstration investigation starting from a suspicious email address flagged by a spam trap, showing how an analyst can pivot from an indicator to a MISP event, its attributes/objects, associated tags, and MITRE ATT&CK techniques, ultimately surfacing threat actors and malware families associated with a given attack pattern.
The demonstration references a COVID-19-themed spear-phishing fraud campaign recorded in a MISP event, and uses the MITRE ATT&CK technique 'Spearphishing via Service' as a pivot point to show which threat actors (FIN6, Dark Caracal, OilRig, Magic Hound) have historically used that technique, and which malware/tools (FinFisher, Bandook, CrossRAT, Pallas) are associated with Dark Caracal. These are illustrative examples used to showcase the tool's enrichment and pivoting capabilities rather than new threat findings.
Overall this content is informational and instructional in nature — it does not report new malicious activity, a new campaign, or newly discovered indicators. It is intended to help CTI analysts improve investigative workflows by combining MISP threat-sharing data with Maltego's visualization and OSINT capabilities.

Free public brief. The indicators are in the app with a free account, no card. Slack alerts on the vendors you run come with the paid plans, and a new account gets three days of them.
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 its extracted indicators and live profiles of the actors and 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.
