The latest variant of the Sysrv botnet malware is menacing Windows and Linux systems with an expanded list of vulnerabilities to exploit, according to Microsoft. The strain, which Microsoft’s Security Intelligence team calls Sysrv-K, scans the internet for web servers that have security holes, such as path traversal, remote file disclosure, and arbitrary file download bugs, that can be exploited to infect the machines. The vulnerabilities, all of which have patches available, include flaws in WordPress plugins such as the recently uncovered remote code execution hole in the Spring Cloud Gateway software tracked as CVE-2022-22947 that Uncle Sam’s CISA warned of this week. Once running on a compromised system,… Source link

Geek squad invoice scams: A Sheridan citizen reported two emails impersonating Geek Squad support. The first was from a Gmail address with an attachment claiming to be an invoice. The subject line is “Thank you for your order!” Make sure you don’t open the attachment, call the number or reply. The second email was from an email address that looked like QuickBooks, which does not own Geek Squad, but the victim was supposed to reply to an Outlook email address, and the subject line was “Invoice GEEKS9=89379672 from Geek Squad.” USPS services text scam: A text was reported by a Laramie citizen saying “(USPS services) We have problem with your shipping address.Please verify https://subletteexaminer.com/article/cyberwyoming-update-may-17.” Note the incorrect spacing and grammar and remember that almost 50 percent of shipping… Source link

You guys are going to the doctors more to find out all that’s wrong with you. Life is an ongoing educational journey into obliviousness and consternation. On this trek, you’ll hear about heart disease, toe fungus, diabetes, and many other conditions that threaten to end your life. But look on the bright side. There are some terms you’ll run into that may or may not resonate. That’s OK because what’s more important is you’re aware there are uncool medical terms and cool ones. No need to go to The New England Journal of Medicine or Physician’s Desk Reference to look them up because I’ve pulled together what you need to know right here. To waste some time, let’s kick things off with the uncoolest terms based on no empirical evidence but rather unsubstantiated and… Source link

It should be quite obvious that there is a housing crisis throughout California, and here in Del Norte County. Everyone is talking about it. Our leaders from the Governor all the way down to the Crescent City Planning Commission have made affordable housing a top priority. Billions of tax dollars – your tax dollars – have been piling up ready to be ignited into a fiscal bonfire of unimagined government generosity. Soon, government agencies will compete against each other to be the “most progressive.” All the attention will be focussed on expanding the number of “homeless” people so that more government money will be made available. As in the… Source link

The Flash episode “Funeral For A Friend” offered a touching tribute to Frost and a powerful lesson about grief, which was ruined by the final scene. Warning: Spoilers for The Flash season 8, episode 14, “Funeral For A Friend.” The aftermath of the death of Frost Snow in The Flash season 8, episode 14, “Funeral For A Friend” led to a twist involving Frost’s sister, Caitlin, and a mistake that negated the episode’s lesson. Most of the episode was devoted to examining how the individual members of Team Flash honored their fallen friend, showing that there are many ways to grieve a loved one and move on. Yet despite giving a touching eulogy for her younger sister, Caitlin was jarringly shown to have rejected this lesson and moved forward… Source link

F5 BIG-IP devices under attack, a proposed settlement on a Clearview AI lawsuit and Colonial Pipeline may be fined. Welcome to Cyber Security Today. It’s Wednesday May 11th, 2022. I’m Howard Solomon, contributing reporter on cybersecurity for ITWorldCanada.com.   Last Friday I reported that a serious vulnerability had been found in F5 Network’s BIG-IP network security devices that need patching. This week security researchers said threat actors are already trying to exploit appliances that aren’t fixed and are open to the internet. According to researchers at Randori, hackers can gain access to devices by bypassing authentication processes if their management interfaces are publicly available. Usually that’s not the way these devices are set up. However, administrators of… Source link

Microsoft patched 74 security flaws in its May Patch Tuesday batch of updates. That’s seven critical bugs, 66 deemed important, and one ranked low severity. At least one of the vulnerabilities disclosed is under active attack with public exploit code, according to Redmond, while two others are listed as having public exploit code. After April’s astonishing 100-plus vulnerabilities, May’s patching event seems tame by comparison. However, “this month makes up for it in severity and infrastructure headaches,” Chris Hass, director of security at Automox, told The Register. “The big news is the critical vulnerabilities that need to be highlighted for immediate action.” The bug that’s being exploited in the wild is a… Source link

Microsoft on Tuesday released critical software updates to fix at least 73 documented security flaws in the Windows ecosystem and warned that unknown attackers are already launching zero-day man-in-the-middle attacks. The zero-day, flagged as CVE-2022-26925, is described as a Windows LSA spoofing vulnerability that provides a path for attackers to authenticate to domain controllers. “An unauthenticated attacker could call a method on the LSARPC interface and coerce the domain controller to authenticate to the attacker using NTLM,” Microsoft warned in a barebones advisory that acknowledged the zero-day exploitation.  “This security update detects anonymous connection attempts in LSARPC and disallows it,” Microsoft added. As is customary, the company did not provide any additional… Source link

Software maker Adobe on Tuesday shipped patches to cover at least 18 serious security defects in multiple enterprise-facing products and warned that unpatched systems are at risk of remote code execution attacks. As part of its planned ‘Patch Tuesday’ release cycle, Adobe warned of critical vulnerabilities found and fixed in the FrameMaker document processor, the InCopy and InDesign suites, the Character Animator motion capture tool and the Adobe ColdFusion platform. According to an advisory from Adobe, 10 of the 18 vulnerabilities were addressed in Adobe FrameMaker, the document processor used by large organizations to write and edit large or complex documents.

Ejiofor’s approach doesn’t mirror Bowie’s at all. It is an inspired contrast. Because we’ve seen who he becomes, he never actually appears frail. The audience never quite fears something will forever damage him, until he comes to understand emotional agony in a human sense. Newton was practically dissected alive, and the naturalness of Roeg’s simple cameras make it agonizingly real. Contemporary special effects are so improved, pain has become surreal. In the film, Newton is revealed to have a sexless body, at least as far as human anatomy goes. When Faraday enters a hotel room naked at one point in the series, Hatch commends him on his penis. Bill Nighy plays an older version of Thomas Newton in the series. This contradicts the movie. In the final scene… Source link
