No time for an In-N-Out stop? TRUMP’S MISSION: BURN IT DOWNWhen then-President Obama and members of his administration would talk about their plan, or, more accurately, the absence of one, for the still-ongoing nightmare in Syria, reporters were treated to what sounded like a David Fromkin lecture. To deal with the slaughter in Syria and the threat from Russia and Turkey in the region, one first had to resolve the 1,400-year blood feud between Sunni and Shia Islam. Then the Iranians and the Gulf Arabs would work together. Oh, is that… Source link

Tuesday, October 20th, wasn’t your usual Patch Tuesday announcement from Microsoft. Instead, this announcement came from the NSA urging users to patch 25 vulnerabilities Chinese hackers were exploiting, quickly. The list of vulnerabilities, many of them already known programming issues, was made public to draw urgency and help IT teams prioritize these patches. Of the 25, seven affect remote access gateways, seven involve internal servers, one affects mobile devices management, two are privilege escalations, two affect Active Directory, three involve network equipment, and three affect public-facing servers, per this infographic from the NSA. We realize you may not be able to patch all vulnerable assets instantly. We recommend that you prioritize systems for patching based on risk:… Source link

The advisory contained a list of the 25 most commonly exploited vulnerabilities by the Chinese state-sponsored hackers. Anne Neuberger, Cybersecurity Director at the NSA, said, “We hope that by… Source link

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has released a list of 25 vulnerabilities Chinese state-sponsored hackers have been recently scanning for or have exploited in attacks. “Most of the vulnerabilities […] can be exploited to gain initial access to victim networks using products that are directly accessible from the Internet and act as gateways to internal networks. The majority of the products are either for remote access or for external web services, and should be prioritized for immediate patching,” the agency noted. The list of vulnerabilities exploited by Chinese hackers The list is as follows: The vulnerability list they shared is likely not complete, as Chinese-sponsored actors may use other known and unknown vulnerabilities.

NSA details top 25 vulnerabilities being scanned and targeted by Chinese hackers The USA’s National Security Agency (NSA) has released an advisory warning for government organisations and private entities, detailing 25 security vulnerabilities that Chinese cyber actors are actively exploiting in the wild. According to the NSA, all of these bugs are publicly known and patches are available from vendors. The Agency said that Chinese state-sponsored hackers are scanning and targeting these bugs in efforts to gain initial access to victim networks. To achieve their goals, they generally use products “that are directly accessible from the Internet and act as gateways to internal networks,” the NSA said in its advisory [pdf]. “The majority of the products are either for remote access… Source link

Image: FXX TV ReviewsAll of our TV reviews in one convenient place. Now that it’s over, Adam Reed’s tenure as the primary writer of the first nine seasons of Archer is an amazing thing to look back at. Give or take a story credit here or there, Reed wrote (or, on rare occasion, co-wrote) all of the first 102 episodes of the show, a feat that probably did more to establish Archer’s greatest strength—its rock-solid clarity for who these assholes are, and what they’d do in pretty much any given situation—than even the genius voice actors who brought them all to life. Consistency is a tricky thing, especially when it comes to a medium as unpredictable—and collaborative—as television. Reed the writer had his quirks and weaknesses (and an almost pathological distaste for climax… Source link

Officials urge organizations to patch the vulnerabilities most commonly scanned for, and exploited by, Chinese attackers. The US National Security Agency (NSA) today published a list of the top 25 publicly known vulnerabilities most often scanned for and targeted by state-sponsored attackers out of China. Chinese state-sponsored cyber activity is “one of the greatest threats” to US National Security Systems, the US Defense Industrial Base, and Department of Defense information networks, the NSA writes in its advisory. This activity often includes a range of tactics and techniques to target networks for sensitive intellectual property and economic, political, and military information. These attackers typically use the same process as other sophisticated actors: they first identify their… Source link
