The last year and a half has powerfully demonstrated what’s at stake,” Mayorkas said, according to Reuters....

The two zero-day vulnerabilities affect Microsoft Exchange Server 2013, 2016, and 2019, Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) has warned, after the exploits were disclosed by researchers at Vietnamese cybersecurity firm GTSC. One (CVE-2022-41040) is a is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability, an exploit that allows attackers to make server-side application requests from an unintended location – for example, allowing them to access internal services without being within the perimeter of the network....

Then, of course, there was the issue of Internet Explorer itself, which was a terrible product housing a never-ending collection of insecure code and bugs that caused countless issues. This was all exacerbated when Netscape fell off the face of the planet and was replaced by Firefox. At first, the new open-source browser looked as though it would send IE packing. It was a solid entry in the browser space and people loved it....

The contract is a whole-of-government head agreement, under which agencies enter into their own contracts for supply of IT goods and services. Given that the head agreement is a standing offer with no commitments on expenditure, there is no prescribed contract value. The original contract was signed in the fourth quarter of 2019. This is now considered year two of a five-year contract, which has also expanded from the provision of IBM technology to include the option to procure IBM professional services and IBM cloud services such as public cloud and SaaS....

James said her office was releasing a guide for businesses on how they can deal with credential stuffing attacks, noting that the practice has “quickly become one of the top attack vectors online.” The 17 businesses affected include well-known online retailers, restaurant chains, and food delivery services. The FBI said last year that credential stuffing attacks – which involve repeated, automated attempts to access online accounts using usernames and passwords stolen from other online services – have been used to compromise 50,000 online bank accounts since 2017....

Whistic – which created a network for assessing, publishing and sharing vendor security information – will work with tech companies like Okta, Airbnb, Zendesk, Asana, Atlassian, Snap, Notion, TripActions and G2 on The Security First Initiative. The initiative seeks to combat third-party data breaches by using Whistic Profiles as a standard for assessing and sharing cybersecurity details. “Just like Asana believes collaboration and transparency between internal teams are mission-critical, we also believe it’s mission-critical to establish transparent and trusted relationships with our customers and third-party vendors,” said Sean Cassidy, head of security at Asana....

The caveat to using client-based solutions is that they are only available to those users with access to the machines the software is installed upon. If you have a home office or a small business, where you need to give multiple users access to those client-based tools, you must either go with the open-source option (LibreOffice) or pay for enough licenses for a proprietary solution. That can get costly and timely to install on every computer....

The bill authored by congressman André Figueiredo outlined a series of concerns around the decision by president Jair Bolsonaro, which established the rules and guidelines for data sharing between authorities and public sector bodies and created a single personal data repository for Brazil’s over 200 million citizens with information ranging from voice to gait. “The centralization of personal data the government wants to put into practice can make such information very vulnerable and accidentally, or unlawfully, cause the destruction, loss, alteration, disclosure or even unauthorized access to such personal data,” the congressman stated....

It still supports the full range of hypervisors you’re likely to have on local, hosted or cloud infrastructure (Hyper-V, vSphere, Nutanix and Scale Computing), but the latest version of Parallels RAS adds support for AWS EC2 to its existing Azure Virtual Desktop integration, with autoscaling as well as cost control options that are even more important for cloud services that bill by usage. This functionality is presented in a friendly graphical interface with wizards, dropdowns and checkboxes to guide you through common tasks whether you’re using local or cloud infrastructure, making the more powerful features accessible to even less experienced admins who may not be confident working in cloud portals or relying on the command line....

In a number of states, both now and expected in the coming weeks, providing abortion healthcare services will be made illegal, or so restricted they will be almost impossible to obtain. Concerns have now been raised over period tracking apps’ data practices and security, and what their use could mean for those able to get pregnant in the future. The message is simple: You should stop using them. As warned by Professor Gina Neff, you should “delete every digital trace of any menstrual tracking....

The main goal of the push to bring Rust to Linux is to wipe out an entire class of memory-related security bugs in the kernel, which is a key part of the internet’s infrastructure, running on everything from servers to edge devices and smartphones. Historically, key Linux drivers that make up the kernel have been written in C, which is not memory-safe whereas Rust is; as Microsoft has highlighted, 70% of all bugs it fixes are memory-related....
