When an alert says "blocked," it’s easy to move on. But our SOC team knew there was more to the story. What started as a suspicious file being accessed by an HR employee turned into uncovering a targeted botnet campaign aimed at HR and payroll tax workers in Mexico. Here’s what we did: ✅ Quarantined the workstation within 10 minutes ✅ Leveraged OSINT tools to investigate the threat ✅ Identified the malicious file as part of the Fenix botnet ✅ Alerted the client’s team to prevent further attacks Get the full breakdown and lessons learned in our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/gJ-i8ug5 #fenixbotnet #botnet #soc #mssp
