Threat Source newsletter (March 12, 2020)
Summary: Cisco Talos' March 12, 2020 Threat Source newsletter, compiled by Jon Munshaw, covers the monthly Microsoft Patch Tuesday post with accompanying Snort rules, a Vulnerability Spotlight on several vulnerabilities Talos discovered in WAGO automation software, and the weekly Threat Roundup of top threats seen and blocked. The newsletter also notes the Aggah campaign, in which threat actors push Aggah to victims via malicious Microsoft Word documents.
Why it matters: The newsletter's own framing of its Interop Tokyo talk is that commodity infections can quickly turn into enterprise-crippling ransomware attacks costing organizations millions of dollars to recover, and that the gap between sophisticated and basic adversaries is quickly disappearing.
