UPDATE: Microsoft continues to work with partners and customers to expand our knowledge of the threat actor behind the nation-state cyberattacks that compromised the supply chain of SolarWinds and impacted multiple other organizations. Microsoft previously used ‘Solorigate’ as the primary designation for the actor, but moving forward, we want to place appropriate focus on the actors behind the sophisticated attacks, rather than one of the examples of malware used by the actors. Microsoft Threat Intelligence Center (MSTIC) has named the actor behind the attack against SolarWinds, the SUNBURST backdoor, TEARDROP malware, and related components as NOBELIUM. As we release new content and analysis, we will use NOBELIUM to refer to the actor and the campaign of attacks.
This move will block vulnerable connections from noncompliant devices, according to a Microsoft Security and Response Center blog post. DC enforcement mode requires both Windows and non-Windows devices to use secure Remote Procedure Call (RPC) with a Netlogon secure channel, unless a business has allowed an account to be exposed by adding an exception for a noncompliant device.
CVE-2020-1472 is a privilege escalation flaw in the Windows Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC) with a CVSS score of 10. It could enable an unauthenticated attacker to use MS-NRPC to connect to a domain controller and gain full admin access.
Since it was fixed in August, the Zerologon bug has been seen in active campaigns from Iranian threat group Mercury. The DHS s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) later issued an emergency directive for the flaw, requiring federal agencies to patch immediately.

Dell Survey Report: Exploring Impact of the Overlapping Universe A broader concept of mobility is developing from a complex eco system that comprises a variety of domains with which vehicles interact.
Dec 22, 2020
Dramatic changes are coming to vehicles that reflect the rapidly evolving ecosystem in which they operate today or will in the near future. The “software-defined everything” era – fueled by huge amounts of data and analytics is now under way. It will reshape automotive electric/electronic architectures, open the way for more advanced onboard technology and allow vehicles to better interact with their environments. Here’s a look at how the industry views and is positioned for the coming evolution, including:
