 # <a name="mbc"></a>Malware Behavior Catalog v2.3 #
 The Malware Behavior Catalog (MBC) is a catalog of malware objectives and behaviors, created to support malware analysis-oriented use cases, such as labeling, similarity analysis, and standardized reporting. Please see the [FAQ](./yfaq/README.md) page for answers to common questions, and read the [newsletters](./ynewsletters/README.md) for information on the most recent MBC updates and activity.
 
+Two open-source malware analysis tools map their output to MBC and ATT&CK:
+
+* [capa](https://github.com/fireeye/capa-rules) - see the [capa rule mapping distribution](./capa.md)
+* [CAPE](https://github.com/kevoreilly/community/tree/master/modules/signatures) - see the [CAPE signature mapping distribution](./cape.md)
+
 Check out the MBC presentations:
 
 * [Standardized Reporting with the Malware Behavior Catalog](https://youtu.be/qZef-SoREdY), VB2020 localhost (October 2020)
 * [Malware Behavior Catalog](https://youtu.be/KY8Ty-0sdVU), BSides DC (October 2019)
 
-We've also mapped MBC (and ATT&CK) to two open-source malware analysis tools:
-
-* [Cuckoo community signatures](https://github.com/MBCProject/community)
-* [capa rules](https://github.com/fireeye/capa-rules) - see the [mapping distribution](./capa.md)

+**December 15, 2022**
+
+Hi everyone!
+
+Highlights of recent MBC development include:
+
+
+* Added new properties to behavior pages - see [Sandbox Detection](https://github.com/MBCProject/mbc-markdown/blob/master/anti-behavioral-analysis/sandbox-detection.md) for an example that includes detection and code snippet information
+* Reviewed ATT&CK v12 (no updates to MBC required)
+* Released [v22.12](https://github.com/MBCProject/mbc-stix2/tree/v22.12) of the STIX 2.1 representation (corrected v22.10)
+* Reviewed [CAPE](https://github.com/kevoreilly/CAPEv2) signature mappings (CAPE maps its signatures to MBC!)
+* Expanded MBC's [malware corpus](../xample-malware/README.md)
+* Finalized MBC terminology - MBC will continue using the terms "behaviors" and "objectives," rather than changing to "techniques" and "tactics"
+
+Going forward, we'll continue expanding the malware corpus and will integrate capa analysis results to existing corpus entries. We'll also be populating the new behavior properties, focusing on detection content. MBC v3.0 will be released after detection information is complete.
+
+We activated [Discussions](https://github.com/MBCProject/mbc-markdown/discussions) on GitHub, so please any post questions or comments there. You can also email us at mbc@mitre.org to let us know what you think. 
+
+**If you're interested in meeting with our team - please let us know. We'd love to get your feedback and understand your MBC use cases!**
