Reading Cyble’s [write-up](https://blog.cyble.com/2022/11/02/new-laplas-clipper-distributed-by-smokeloader/) of the threat detected by signature 2039775, it sounds as though the traffic being matched is generated by malware once it’s running on an endpoint. As such, shouldn’t it be of “Critical” severity instead of “Major”? ---
