Our Top Blogs of 2020

2020 was truly a troubling year for the world – and a consequential one for the field of cybersecurity. From the sudden and massive shift to working from home because of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the discovery of one of the biggest cyber-attacks in history, the events of 2020 and their consequences will be long remembered.

Those groundbreaking developments were reflected in the writing on the Trustwave and Trustwave SpiderLabs blogs, which covered some of the most significant and far-reaching discoveries our teams have ever made, including a massive malware operation that targeted organizations doing business in China and our U.S. voter database discovery. Look below to recap our top blog posts of the year.
