In this darkly entertaining yet deeply insightful episode of Tales from the Dark Side, we take you into the shadowy world of modern cyber-espionage, where elite threat actors aren’t smashing windows, but they’re quietly picking locks you didn’t even know existed.
Meet RomCom, a sophisticated adversary group that decided traditional cybercrime simply lacked ambition. Instead of quick wins, they pursue strategic targets such as government agencies, NGOs, and critical institutions using irresistible phishing lures, deceptive software updates, and stealth-laden malware campaigns. Their operations unfold like a thriller: subtle infiltrations, silent persistence, and high-value data theft carried out with calculated precision.
In this session, the NetWitness Incident Response team walks you through the complete attack lifecycle of RomCom.
