Begun, the Patch Wars have

Cisco Talos reports a wide-ranging security pulse: a financially motivated Russian-speaking campaign (UAT-11795) is trojanizing popular installers to deliver Starland RAT and an in-memory PowerShell WLDR agent, with secondary payloads (CastleStealer, Remcos) and advanced evasion techniques; concurrently Microsoft released a record 622 fixes (including two zero-days under active exploitation) and other high-impact vulnerabilities (e.g., RabbitMQ) were highlighted, with Talos providing IoCs and telemetry for defenders.
