Windows vulnerability reported by the NSA exploited to install Russian malware

Microsoft didn't disclose the in-the-wild exploits by Kremlin-backed group until now.
Kremlin-backed hackers have been exploiting a critical Microsoft vulnerability for four years in attacks that targeted a vast array of organizations with a previously undocumented tool, the software maker disclosed Monday.
When Microsoft patched the vulnerability in October 2022—at least two years after it came under attack by the Russian hackers—the company made no mention that it was under active exploitation. As of publication, the company’s advisory still made no mention of the in-the-wild targeting. Windows users frequently prioritize the installation of patches based on whether a vulnerability is likely to be exploited in real-world attacks.

OK cool, but all of these companies that were infected were clearly not using the right security tools. This vulnerability is nothing new, Windows is riddled with it. But all processes, even the ones with admin privileges should be monitored anyway.
