7MS #443: Cyber News - Thankful for Patches Edition

Happy Thanksgiving! While the turkey and pie settle in your belly, why not also digest some fantastic security news stories with our pal Gh0sthax?

Today's stories include:

  • It was another epic month of patching - both Threatpost and Krebs have great coverage of what you need to know.

  • We don't support software pirating, but it's interesting that we just got a demo of Cobalt Strike spun up, and now the source code was leaked.

  • Always download software updates from their source, not from not-so-trustworthy sources like random search results in Google and pop-up boxes.

  • As a follow up to a story from last month, ransomware was not to blame for the death of a woman in Germany.
