Threat Source newsletter (Sept. 12, 2019)
Summary: Cisco Talos' Sept. 12, 2019 Threat Source newsletter highlights Cisco Incident Response's deep dive into a recent wave of Watchbog infections and points readers to Microsoft's latest monthly Patch Tuesday updates. The issue also covers a Beers with Talos podcast discussion of hacking back, the weekly Threat Roundup of blocked threats, and a list of file hashes and detection names including W32.DoublePulsar and Win.Trojan.Generic.
What you should know: The newsletter's recurring message is that Watchbog infections and Microsoft vulnerabilities both trace back to unpatched systems, and it ships concrete indicators - SHA 256 and MD5 hashes with detection names - that defenders can use to check whether these threats are already present in their environments.
