Threat Source newsletter (Feb. 13, 2020)
Summary: Cisco Talos reported that Microsoft's February 2020 Patch Tuesday disclosed nearly 100 vulnerabilities, three of which Talos researchers discovered. Talos also published findings on a variant of the Loda RAT that added several anti-detection features and targets victims across the Americas.
Bottom line: Nearly 100 Microsoft vulnerabilities in a single Patch Tuesday, three found by Talos itself, means patching cadence is the exposure window an attacker counts on. The Loda RAT variant's new anti-detection features mean the malware is being built to evade the controls defenders rely on to spot it.
