Microsoft Patch Tuesday Microsoft patched 70-78 vulnerabilities (depending on how you count them). Five of these vulnerabilities are already being exploited. In particular, a remote code execution vulnerability in the scripting engine should be taken seriously. It requires the Microsoft Edge browser to run in Internet Explorer mode. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Microsoft%20Patch%20Tuesday%3A%20May%202025/31946 Security Advisory Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) May 2025 (CVE-2025-4427 and CVE-2025-4428) Ivanti patched an authentication bypass vulnerability and a remote code execution vulnerability.

Steganography Challenge Didier published a fun steganography challenge. A solution will be offered on Saturday. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Steganography+Challenge/31910 Microsoft Makes Passkeys Default Authentication Method Microsoft is now encouraging new users to use Passkeys as the default and only login method, further moving away from passwords https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2025/05/01/pushing-passkeys-forward-microsofts-latest-updates-for-simpler-safer-sign-ins/ Microsoft Authenticator Autofill Changes Microsoft will no longer support the use of Microsoft authenticator as a password safe. Instead, it will move users to the password prefill feature built into Microsoft Edge. This change will start in June and should be completed in August at which point you must have moved your credentials out of Microsoft Authenticator https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/account-billing/changes-to-microsoft-authenticator-autofill-09fd75df-dc04-4477-9619-811510805ab6 Backdoor found in popular e-commerce components SANSEC identified several backdoored Magento e-commerce components. These backdoors were installed as far back as 2019 but only recently activated, at which point they became known. Affected vendors dispute any compromise at this point. https://sansec.io/research/license-backdoor

Microsoft has just released their latest Cyber Signals report on AI assisted scams, including those targeting e-shoppers and job seekers. . The report comes as AI-assisted scams are further on the rise. Over the past year alone, Microsoft has thwarted $4 billion in fraud attempts and approximately 1.6 million bot signup attempts per hour. Microsoft is actively working to stop AI fraud by evolving large-scale detection models that use AI techniques, such as machine learning to mitigate fraud attacks. With AI lowering the barrier to entry, even low-skilled attackers can generate sophisticated scams, ranging from deepfake-driven phishing to AI-generated sham websites mimicking legitimate businesses. What is very worrying is that what used to take scammers days or weeks to create now just take minutes. To read the full report, click here . Microsoft has also released some tips to help you remain safe whilst you are online, and you can read them below. Here are three things you can do to protect yourself as an online shopper: Don't let pressure tactics trick you - Don't be fooled with "limited-time" deals and countdown timers. Only click on verified ads - Many scam sites spread through AI-optimised social media ads. Cross-check domain names and reviews before purchasing. Be skeptical of social proof - Scammers can use AI-generated reviews, influencer endorsements, and testimonials to exploit your trust. To protect yourself when interviewing for a job, here are three things employers would never ask: To provide personal or financial information - Unsolicited SMS and email messages offering high-paying jobs with minimal qualifications are typically fraudulent. Avoid sharing personal or financial information. You should never provide a Social Security number, banking details, or passwords to an unverified employer. To pay for a job opportunity - Employment offers that include requests for payment, offers that seem too good to be true, and a lack of formal communication platforms can all be indicators of fraud. To communicate via unofficial communication channels - If recruiters and hiring managers only communicate via SMS, WhatsApp, or non-business email accounts, it's a red flag. Legitimate employers use official company platforms for hiring communications. Always handle personal and sensitive information over secure platforms. To help protect consumers from scams, Microsoft has introduced free features and tools: Typo and domain impersonation protection - Microsoft Edge features website protection using deep learning technology to help users avoid fraudulent websites. Digital Fingerprinting - Microsoft's digital fingerprinting capability identifies malicious behaviours and ties them back to specific individuals. This helps in monitoring and preventing unauthorised access. Blocking Full Control Requests - Quick Assist now includes warnings and requires users to check a box acknowledging the security implications of sharing their screen (Quick Assist is a tool that enables users to share their Windows or macOS device with another person over a remote connection). This adds a layer of helpful "security friction," by prompting users who may be multi-tasking or preoccupied to pause to complete an authorisation step. See more stories here.

In the digital age, efficiency and speed are paramount, especially for those who rely heavily on computers for work and leisure. Keyboard shortcuts have emerged as essential tools for enhancing productivity, allowing users to execute commands with a mere flick of their fingers. However, as beneficial as these shortcuts can be, they can also lead to unintended consequences, particularly when users accidentally trigger them. Avram Piltch sheds light on the potential pitfalls of accidental Windows keyboard shortcuts, emphasizing the importance of awareness and understanding of these features.One of the most notorious accidental keyboard shortcuts is the combination of Windows + Control + Enter, which activates the Narrator feature. While this accessibility tool is designed to assist users with visual impairments by reading aloud the text displayed on the screen, it can be quite disconcerting for those who do not intend to use it. Imagine being in a quiet office or a shared living space, only to have your computer suddenly announce every word on your screen. This scenario underscores the need for users to familiarize themselves with the shortcuts they might inadvertently activate and to know how to disable them quickly. Fortunately, users can prevent this from happening by navigating to the Accessibility settings and turning off the keyboard shortcut for Narrator.Another shortcut that can lead to confusion is the activation of Sticky Keys by pressing the Shift key five times. Sticky Keys is a feature designed to assist individuals with mobility challenges, allowing them to press one key at a time instead of requiring simultaneous key presses. However, for the average user, this feature can result in unintended commands that disrupt workflow. For instance, if a user inadvertently activates Sticky Keys while typing, they might accidentally cut text by pressing Control and then X, leading to frustration and confusion. Like the Narrator feature, users can disable the Sticky Keys shortcut through the Accessibility settings, thereby reducing the risk of accidental activation.Web browsers also present their own set of accidental shortcuts that can bewilder users. For example, pressing Control + Shift + I or F12 in a browser window opens the developer console, displaying a plethora of code that can be intimidating for those unfamiliar with programming. While developers may find this feature useful, it can leave the average user perplexed and unsure of how to return to their original task. Interestingly, different browsers handle this scenario differently; for instance, Microsoft Edge prompts users with a warning about the developer tools, whereas Chrome does not, leaving users to navigate the console on their own. This disparity highlights the importance of understanding not just the shortcuts themselves, but also the context in which they operate.Avram illustrates that while keyboard shortcuts can significantly enhance productivity, they also come with the risk of unintended consequences. Users who are unaware of the potential for accidental activation may find themselves grappling with unexpected changes to their computer's behavior. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals to educate themselves about the shortcuts available on their systems and to take proactive steps to mitigate the risks associated with them.In conclusion, the world of keyboard shortcuts is a double-edged sword; while they can streamline tasks and improve efficiency, they also pose the risk of accidental activations that can disrupt productivity and cause confusion. By being aware of the shortcuts they use and understanding how to manage them, users can harness the power of keyboard shortcuts while minimizing the potential for mishaps. Awareness and education are key to navigating the complexities of modern computing, ensuring that users can maintain control over their digital environments.

You've heard the identity theft protection ads for years, but do you really need it?Today, dozens of companies sell identity theft protection, so people obviously buy it. But what exactly are they getting, and is it really worth it?Understanding Identity Theft Protection: Is It Worth It?Identity theft is a growing problem that affects millions of people every year, with schemes ranging from credit card fraud to insurance and tax fraud. With this in mind, many companies offer identity theft protection plans. But is it worth it? Let's take a closer look at the features, their value, and whether or not you should invest in one of these plans.Before diving into the specifics, it's important to remember that fear should never dictate our financial decisions. In 2 Timothy 1:7, Paul reminds us:“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”When considering whether to purchase an identity theft protection plan, look at the facts, pray for guidance, and make an educated decision.Typical Features of Identity Theft Protection PlansIdentity theft protection plans come with a range of features, though not every plan includes all of them. Here's a look at some common offerings:Credit Report and Score Access: Many plans provide access to your credit reports and credit score.Credit Report Monitoring: This feature alerts you to suspicious activity, such as new accounts opened in your name.Fraud Alert Setup: Plans often help you set up fraud alerts on your credit reports, making it harder for thieves to open accounts.Dark Web Monitoring: This monitors for signs that your personal information is being misused on the dark web.Fraudulent Account Dispute Assistance: Some plans assist you in disputing fraudulent charges and accounts.Social Security Number Monitoring: You'll be notified if your Social Security number is used suspiciously.Browser Protection Tools: These tools protect your personal information online and alert you to unsafe websites.Insurance Coverage: Some plans include insurance to cover costs associated with identity theft recovery, such as legal fees and lost wages.These features may sound appealing, but is it worth paying $7.50 to $70 per month for this protection?Can You Do It Yourself?Interestingly, most of these features are things you can handle on your own:Credit Report Access: You can easily access your credit reports from Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax, or visit AnnualCreditReport.com for free reports.Credit Monitoring: Monitoring your credit every six months is simple and effective. You can also set up fraud alerts directly with the credit bureaus.Disputing Fraudulent Activity: You can dispute fraudulent charges on the credit bureau websites yourself—no third-party service is required.Browser Protection: Browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Microsoft Edge already offer safe browsing tools; you just need to enable them.There are a couple of features that are harder to manage on your own:Dark Web Monitoring: This is more challenging to do without specialized tools.Social Security Number Monitoring: While not easy to do on your own, this becomes less critical if you're already monitoring your credit and disputing fraudulent activity.What About the Insurance?Many identity theft protection plans offer insurance to cover financial losses. However, disputing fraudulent activity directly with the credit bureaus is usually sufficient to avoid significant out-of-pocket costs. While it might take some time, handling it yourself is typically manageable.Here's an important distinction: These plans offer identity theft protection, not identity theft prevention. They help you fix the problem after it occurs but do little to stop it in the first place.The most powerful thing you can do to prevent identity theft is to freeze your credit at all three credit bureaus. It's free and prevents lenders from checking your credit unless you unfreeze it temporarily when applying for new credit. This simple step can prevent thieves from opening accounts in your name.Should You Buy Identity Theft Protection?Ultimately, purchasing an identity theft protection plan comes down to personal preference. If having one brings you peace of mind and helps you sleep better at night, go ahead and purchase a plan—but do your homework first. And if a free plan is offered after a data breach, don't hesitate to accept it.By staying informed and taking simple steps on your own, you can safeguard your identity without fear.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:There are so many charities and organizations to donate to, and I'd like to find websites that can help me decide how to allocate my charitable giving. I want to make sure the organizations are using the funds responsibly. What resources can you recommend for researching and evaluating different charities?I have a question about an inherited IRA. My husband inherited two IRAs from his mom, who died in 2020. We have yet to take any distributions. I know the SECURE Act requires withdrawing the total amount within ten years. Is there an advantage to withdrawing it gradually, or is it better to just do a lump sum withdrawal at some point?My mother purchased some land a couple of years ago, with three small houses on about 3 acres. I filed a transfer-on-death (TOD) deed that I printed off the internet, and it went through. Is that a good thing to do? How does that affect my taxes when I inherit the property?I have several accounts that will require me to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) at the end of the year. How do I set it up so the RMD can be paid directly to my church as a qualified charitable contribution to avoid increasing my taxable income?Resources Mentioned:ECFA | Charity NavigatorNational Christian Foundation (NCF)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.
