Infoblox recently announced that the creation of DNS infrastructure by cybercriminals to unleash exploit kits increased 75 percent in third quarter of 2015 from the same period in 2014, as reported in the newest edition of the Infoblox DNS Threat Index.

Vishal Hariprasad has seen two sides of IT security. Formerly a Cyberspace Operations Officer for the US Air Force and National Security Agency, ‘V8’ is now a Threat Intelligence Architect for startup research firm Unit 42, and a member of the Cyber Threat Alliance. He tells CNME about his experience of advanced malware.
