Microsoft released a guide at the end of September to provide companies with all the required information to fix the problem inside their Active Directory implementations, but it seems that certain customers are already vulnerable....

What is a botnet? A botnet is a network of computers that have been infected with malware and are controlled by a hacker.

Botnets can be very large, with some estimates suggesting that there are tens of millions of computers in botnets. However, even a small botnet can be very powerful. For example, in 2010, a botnet known as the Mariposa botnet was responsible for stealing millions of dollars from bank accounts....

Rootkits are malicious tools created by threat actors to elude discovery by burrowing deep inside the operating system and being utilised to completely take over vulnerable systems while avoiding detection. Starting with Windows 8, Microsoft introduced WPBT, a fixed firmware ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) table that allows suppliers to run programmes every time a device starts. However, this approach can allow attackers to deploy malicious programmes, as Microsoft cautions in its own literature, in addition to allowing OEMs to force install important software that can’t be supplied with Windows installation media....

The NSA and CISA say it is important that critical infrastructure asset owners and operators protect industrial control systems ( ICS) and other OT systems because of the high risk of cyber-attacks initiated by international threat actors. The agencies state that manufacturing systems are increasingly being opened to the Internet for remote operations and monitoring purposes, widening outsourcing of key skill areas and accommodating a global workforce. Also increasing the risk of successful attacks is the use of legacy ICS that has not been designed with security in mind, the availability of scanners such as Shodan and Kamerka, and the availability of tools for exploitation....
