Threat Source newsletter (May 30)
Newsletter compiled by Jonathan Munshaw.

Welcome to this week’s Threat Source newsletter — the perfect place to get caught up on all things Talos from the past week.

Did you update all of your Microsoft products after Patch Tuesday earlier this month? If not, what are you waiting for? Listen to the latest Beers with Talos episode about why that’s stupid, and then immediately update.

Last week marked the one-year anniversary of VPNFilter. What has the security community learned since then? And how did this wide-reaching malware shape attacks since then? Find out in our blog post looking back on VPNFilter.

If you haven’t already, there’s still plenty of time to sign up for our upcoming spring Quarterly Threat Briefing. Talos researchers will be running down recent DNS manipulation-based attacks, and outline why your organization needs to be worried about them.

Finally, 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.
