42K Augur Predictions Were Confirmed in November - including XWorm, Gold Prelude and VaultCrypt
By:
In November, third-party researchers confirmed just over 42K Augur predictions, which is the highest number in a single month since 2020 and nearly an all-time record. Threats included predictions on XWorm, Gold Prelude and VaultCrypt.
Augur identifies and blocks new threats daily. The IPs we predict as malicious most often eventually show up in the threat research on actual cyberattacks by other security companies and organizations. The good news is that if you are an Augur subscriber, you are already protected. Here are a few Augur predictions that turned into confirmed threats in October.
If you aren’t already blocking these IPs we highly recommend you do so!
How Do Augur Predictions Work?
Augur uses behavioral modeling to detect the buildup of cybercriminal infrastructure online before attacks. We identify thousands of malicious IPs, IP ranges, and domains every month. Augur predicts attacks on average 50 days before they are first reported. Our predictions are highly accurate, with a low false-positive rate of 0.01%, giving Augur clients a heads up on cyberattacks, zero-days, and novel threats.
Your Early Warning System
Augur is your best early warning system and your insurance policy against novel threats.
Our smart behavioral prediction models identify and group threat actors based on patterns of activity. The platform can then predict the source of novel attacks up to 50 days out. At the time of prediction, these predictions are often +-90% unique compared to other leading threat data sources.
