Case Study: Elderwood targets are protected with Infoblox collective threat intelligence

Collective Threat Intelligence Protects Entire Community from “Elderwood” Data Breach

Elderwood, a large organization, faced a serious malware threat after employees downloaded what appeared to be an Internet Explorer zero-day exploit delivered through spear-phishing and watering-hole attacks. With only a limited view of the incident and little experience with this specific malicious activity, the customer needed better threat details, severity assessment, and guidance on how to reduce risk across its network.

Infoblox used its ActiveTrust collective threat intelligence service to rapidly gather and share actionable indicators from trusted peers, identifying the attack as an APT involving remote shellcode and keyloggers. Infoblox issued high-priority alerts within hours and a full report within one business day, helping dozens of organizations block malicious connections, clean infected systems, and prevent further compromise.
