We’re pleased to announce that starting in August 2024, developers who are not part of an organization managed by an IT administrator can choose to receive monthly Visual Studio security updates through the Microsoft Update (MU) system on “patch Tuesdays”. We dare you
Yes, I've reported on it in the past. But this one includes the Registry key to shut it off.

The vulnerability could let hackers gain access to your PC on public Wi-Fi networks. WiFi? More like WiFuuuuuuuuu
It does read like they'd have to be on the same router (which would be the case in a coffee shop etc. anyway)
According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is adjacent (AV:A). What does that mean for this vulnerability?
Exploiting this vulnerability requires an attacker to be within proximity of the target system to send and receive radio transmissions.

A researcher has found a bug that allows anyone to impersonate Microsoft corporate email accounts, making phishing attempts look credible and more likely to trick their targets. Good thing they never email anyone
"The bug, according to Kokorin, only works when sending the email to Outlook accounts." <-- Oh, phew. Good thing no one uses those.
/sigh... Microsoft...

Did something change? I was of the impression you could forge email headers all you wanted so long as you controlled the SMTP sending the mail?
I've sent prank mail from Gates and such. From .NET it was as simple as changing the FROM: to whatever you want.
|
|
|
|
|
I suspect this bug allows you to spoof the entire header, including the routing and source mail server information. Changing the "FROM" information doesn't change the source email server information.

Too bad they fixed it. We wouldn't have been subjected to "New Outlook" if they hadn't.

They did find two scenarios in which human-driven cars were safer: at dawn/dusk and when turning. Going forward and going in reverse?
But (more) seriously folks - hearing they're less safe when turning does not give me confidence in them.
I also would really like to see some numbers for autonomous driving when the road markings are not clearly visible (aka winter driving, or even spring with the sand on the side of the road)

Dawn/dusk - Autonomous vehicles need sunglasses and clean sensors. These are the two biggest problems when the sun is low in the sky.
I suspect Tesla's FSD, which is the only non-geofenced system on the road today, would pass the driving test in most jurisdictions.
