What happened

SANS ISC diary roundup (mid‑July 2026) covering Microsoft’s large July Patch Tuesday (≈622 Microsoft vulnerabilities, ~427 Chromium/Edge issues; 62 rated critical; at least two already exploited and one previously disclosed), a Wireshark 4.6.7 release fixing 12 vulnerabilities, a DShield SIEM update (ELK 8.19.15) with new dashboards/logs, reports of scans targeting MCP servers and AI assistant credentials, and analysis pieces on phishing evasion (‘comment stuffing’ in HTML attachments) and stack behavior. Relevant items indicate active exploitation and widespread patching needs.
