I've seen actors rotate through scads of JA4t and JA4h in a single campaign b/c so much is under their control.
They are decent to use when dealing with C-lister attackers, but a giant problem that coming for us all is that real (i.e., not mirai-users) attackers are migrating to sitting behind residental proxies. And, even some mirai users are doing that too. Then the ciphers, 4t and 4h hashes are only good at telling you "yep! residential proxies!" 3/

They end up being _an_ indicator, but even groups of them together rly shld be used with other attributes for any type of clustering IMO.
Then there's the fact these are pretty much only good as hunt IoCs, not block or detect IoCs b/c too much is under attacker control, and publishing any set of JA4s in public tips them off and the good ones can and do tweak them (the problem is not as terrible as JA3, but it's up there). 2/

gosh i have alot to say on this. first, "we" (back at the old place) tried to convince someone to go with constant length vectors vs daft delimited strings.
we also noodled (but never implemented) creating vector representations for each of the hashes (not just the TLS one). For reasons I can't blather abt off Signal, we didn't. It is a good idea tho, Dave.
There are def other issues. You brought up one (hash convergence b/c of tooling). 1/

The root cause chain is damning. No file type restrictions on inbound support chat attachments. No automated EDR coverage reconciliation against the identity provider. Okta FastPass let the compromised device satisfy MFA on its own. The initialization codes — functionally equivalent to the certificates themselves — were visible in every proxied support session because the support portal was never threat-modeled as an attack surface. "Privileged access" stopped at the HSM boundary. (3/5)

Certificate authorities exist for one reason: to be the trust anchor everyone else depends on. They should have the most rigorous endpoint security, the tightest access controls, the most paranoid threat modeling of any organization in the ecosystem. Instead, DigiCert got burned by the same failures you'd find in a mid-market company that just bought its first SIEM. (4/5)

2026-05-04 11:57:00 UTC

- reply

DigiCert — a certificate authority, the entity you're trusting to anchor your entire chain of trust — got compromised because a support analyst opened a .scr file from a chat session. In 2026. CrowdStrike was misconfigured on one endpoint and completely absent on another. Nobody noticed the second compromise for 10 days. The attacker grabbed EV code signing initialization codes and walked out with 60 certificates. Zhong Stealer, signed and shipped. (2/5)

Sadly, a very large % of the residental or mobile (b/c they takeover android devices too) proxy nodes are nodes that the user did not agree to being part of the network. They downloaded a free app or chrome extension and devs of those apps/extensions slide an API in there to make money from the res proxy overlords.

The distinction between /api_key* and /apikey* paths suggest different target frameworks or APIs. Actors scanning for "both" are running more comprehensive wordlists. The January 2026 spike in "has both" activity indicates increasing sophistication in the scanning approach.

6. Multi-ASN Scanner
43 unique IPs across 12 different ASNs including Contabo, DigitalOcean, Microsoft Azure, and others. The JA4H fingerprint is shared across these diverse sources, indicating either a widely distributed tool/framework or credential sharing among operators. The 3-header minimal fingerprint suggests a simple HTTP library.

5. QINIU CDN Scanner
33 IPs from AS152644 (QINIU Limited) across Japan, Singapore, and Vietnam. QINIU is a Chinese CDN provider. The tight IP ranges (149.13.91.* and 38.123.103.*) indicate dedicated infrastructure rather than compromised hosts. GreyNoise tags these as "Python Requests Client" which aligns with the minimal 5-header JA4H. This is likely a coordinated reconnaissance operation using QINIU's infrastructure.

The most persistent campaign - 37 IPs across 72+ days with nearly 1,000 sessions. Heavy IP reuse: 84.247.171.77 was active 27 of the observed days. This looks like a single operator running continuous reconnaissance rather than a distributed campaign. JA4T database matches a WSL Ubuntu 22.04 variant, suggesting Linux-based scanning infrastructure.

Burst activity January 1-5 w/101 unique IPs from AS14061. The JA4H shows 34 HTTP headers with en-US language - this is a more sophisticated HTTP client stack than the minimal 5-header AWS scanner. We show some of these IPs also tagged for React2Shell, suggesting this may be the same actor or toolkit expanding their target set. The SOLLUTIUM EU IP (212.86.120.49) appears to be a coordination node, switching between multiple JA4H variants during Jan 2-11.

Jan 8th spike is the most dramatic signal. 117 AWS IPs (AS16509/AS14618) executed a coordinated scan w/in a single day, all sharing the same 5-header HTTP fingerprint. Almost certainly a distributed scanner framework running across ephemeral EC2 instances. The JA4T fingerprint indicates jumbo frame MTU, consistent with AWS internal networking.

While checking some things out I stumbled across this.
Someone (data strongly suggests a single actor or tightly coordinated operation) is poking the internet for `/apikeys.txt*`. When I go back a full 90d (vs lazy 12 weeks in the GUI here) it's 12,831 sessions since October from 43 IPs.
Most form Contabo (AS51167 + AS40021 + AS141995): 31 IPs, 72.9% of sessions.
Hopefully your devs aren't exposing keys this way accidentally.
Weill get this written up this week (prbly after we make a tag).

We "missed" (obviously the untagged data is still there) what appears to be a highly focused SonicWall SSL VPN credential event back in September.
Two distinct ja4t (65495_2-4-8-1-3_65495_7 && 33280_2-4-8-1-3_65495_7).
IPs in alt txt.
We'll get a tag/detection crafted.

While you're convincing your org to block a few ASNs, perhaps also consider banning commercial VPNs from at least talking to your remote access gear.

Both Palo and Fortinet campaigns share ~25 source network providers, and it looks like the campaign is starting to end, or they've at least stopped the massive use of 3xK and tzulo (and a few others).
Will poke at credential info later in the AM.

Microsoft steals content for their AI training data but doesn't want others to do the same thing. Odd.

"The essential problem is this: generative language software is very good at producing long and contextually informed strings of language, and humanity has never before experienced coherent language without any cognition driving it. In regular life, we have never been required to distinguish between “language” and “thought” because only thought was capable of producing language, in any but the most trivial sense."

🆕 GreyNoise Research: Early Warning Signals Before CVEs Drop
Full report: <https://www.greynoise.io/resources/early-warning-signals-attacker-behavior-precedes-new-vulnerabilities>
In our latest research, we examined dozens of incidents where attacker activity — often in the form of exploit attempts — spiked weeks before a new CVE was disclosed.
This chart shows what we found (much more in the report).
Each ⚪ is a confirmed spike in attacker activity targeting a specific edge product.
Each 🔴 marks when a new CVE was publicly disclosed.
The pattern is hard to ignore:

with apologies, that kind of thinking got us to where we are now. We are in this for 15-40 years b/c of “churches” like this. I won’t be hearing from you again.

Trump, the IRS, and — soon — the Supreme Court — is gonna let this "church" advocate for and against candidates for local, county, state, and federal office.

O_O Synology's middleware service was inadvertently exposing a master credential during every setup process, and this credential belonged to Synology's global app registration, giving attackers broad read-only access to organizational data including Teams messages, group information, and Microsoft 365 content.

I signed up for The Browser Company's "Dia" beta (b/c ofc I did). The onboarding was exceptional.
The whole point of "Dia" is to AI-ify the browser experience.
I went to one page, asked it a question, and it immediately lied to me.
So, I'm done w/Dia & just hope some org takes over Arc dev.

I'm sharing it to — once again — note how utterly daft it is defending RSAC platforming this lying, disingenuous, unethical human.
The RSAC folks who platformed her need to do far more than apologize, and their defenders really need to rethink their ethical backbone and personal integrity, b/c I really don't think you have either until you do and publicly mea culpa.
