A tale of two eras

This edition of Cisco Talos' Threat Source is a weekly security newsletter highlighting accelerated AI-driven vulnerability discovery and recent high-impact events: CISA ordering urgent fixes for a VPN bug under attack by 'Qilin', Microsoft patching two high-severity local privilege-escalation zero-days, an exploitable nf_tables Linux bug, and multiple prevalent malware detections with SHA256 indicators. The newsletter recommends defensive fundamentals (MFA, CIS hardening, segmentation, behavioral EDR/NDR/XDR) and links to Talos telemetry, blogs, and resources.
