A cybersecurity analyst is scanning several information sources to gather threat intelligence. Among their sources, they include various blogs and forums. What is a significant risk associated with relying on this type of information?
Information on blogs and forums is outdated and not useful for current threat intelligence.
Blogs and forums lack sufficient validation, increasing the risk of misinformation.
Blogs and forums typically contain information on low-impact threats.
While blogs and forums can provide timely insight into emerging threats and actor behaviors not available in commercial sources, they often lack validation and can spread misinformation. This necessitates cross-referencing with more reliable sources before taking action based on the information obtained from blogs and forums.
