I work in an RMM role, and today I was the last to know about the Petya/Goldeneye outbreak worldwide, not ideal.  Most of the time I pick it up on the news at the same times as everyone else.

 

What notification services are people using for being alerted to global level attacks/outbreaks that aren't too noisy? I looked at a few, and it seemed they were full of noise, I dont care about minor exploit notifications for software x y and z,  just the headline grabbing ones like WannaCry and this new Petya/Goldeneye etc.

While this doesn't answer your question I find https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/ can be quite good at providing info on outbreaks from a sysadmin perspective, but it's obviously not an outbreak service

I tend to follow a bunch of feeds on Twitter... various Microsoft ones, @ArsTechicaUK, @kaspersky, @TrendMicro, @BrianKrebs and so on. Keep an eye on what Twitter suggests are related accounts. I file them all (with some other feeds) in a personalised list called "IT". There's also @DarkReading, @InfosecurityMag etc. which I'm considering adding. In fact, I may take these all out to a new list called "Security" and add Taylor Swift (@SwiftOnSecurity) to it. Because Tay's da bomb.
