Just released:
Snort Subscriber Rule Set Update for Jan. 15, 2019

Cisco Talos released the newest SNORTⓇ rule set today. In this release, we introduced 22 new rules, six of which are shared object rules. There are also 11 modified rules, including two shared object rules.

This release provides coverage for a series of malware families, including WindTail — which has shown the ability to avoid detection by antivirus software, and a variant of MuddyWater that's recently been deployed by the Seedworm group.
There were no changes made to the snort.conf in this release.

Talos's rule release:
Talos has added and modified multiple rules in the file-flash, file-office, file-other, file-pdf, indicator-obfuscation, malware-cnc, malware-other, os-windows, protocol-other and server-webapp rule sets to provide coverage for emerging threats from these technologies.
You can subscribe to Talos' newest rule detection functionality for as low as $29 a year with a personal account. Be sure and see our business pricing as well here. Make sure and stay up to date to catch the most emerging threats.
