Wow, Microsoft is removing #WMIC from Windows!
But they aren't removing the underlying WMI framework, so threat actors will have to use PowerShell to access WMI.

I'm not sure this will have a significant impact on what Threat Actors do with WMI, however, it'll at least force a Threat Actor to use PowerShell where there is better built-in visibility (if it's enabled), compared to WMIC.
