Welcome to this week’s Threat Source newsletter — the perfect place to get caught up on all things Talos from the past week.
You’ve heard it a million times: Always patch. But in case you needed another example that it’s important, Cisco Incident Response took a deep dive into a recent wave of Watchbog infections they observed. In this post, IR breaks down why this infection occurred, and what you can learn from it.
Speaking of patching, it’s as good of a time as any to update all of your Microsoft products. The company released its latest security update as part of their monthly Patch Tuesday. Check out our breakdown of the most important vulnerabilities here and our Snort coverage here.

We also have our weekly Threat Roundup, which you can find on the blog every Friday afternoon. There, we go over the most prominent threats we’ve seen (and blocked) over the past week.
