Microsoft has released its October security patches, addressing a total of 118 vulnerabilities, including two that are currently being exploited in the wild. This update comes amid rising cyber threats, particularly involving file hosting services such as OneDrive, SharePoint, and Dropbox, which are increasingly being used in Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks. Microsoft warns that hackers are employing tactics to bypass defenses by leveraging legitimate services to trick users into sharing two-factor authentication tokens, leading to potential financial fraud. The company has emphasized the importance of staying vigilant and adapting to evolving cyber threats as part of Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
