Equation Coverage
Summary: Cisco Talos released rules 33543 through 33546 (MALWARE-CNC Win.Trojan.Equation) on February 17 to detect traffic from the malware family dubbed "The Equation Family," available in the FireSIGHT Management Console and the Subscriber Ruleset on Snort.org. Talos also added the associated IPs, domains, URLs, and hashes to all Cisco security devices, and stated it will continue monitoring public information and independently researching the malware family.
Bottom line: Coverage here is signature-based and tied to known indicators, so the protection depends on Talos keeping pace with a family it is still researching; email was not observed as an attack vector, leaving the other channels as the ones to watch.
