By Jon Munshaw.  Welcome to this week’s edition of the Threat Source newsletter.  October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Which, if you’ve been on social media at all the past 13 days or read any cybersecurity news website, you surely know already.  As it does every year, I saw Cybersecurity Awareness Month kick off with a lot of snark and memes of people joking about what it even means to be “aware” of cybersecurity and why we even have this month at all.

FreeRDP based server implementations are not affected. This issue has been patched in version 2.8.1. If you cannot upgrade do not use the `/video` switch.

Among other things, users who download the app could end up having their WhatsApp account details stolen.
