Network Infraxploit Our undergraduate intern, Matthew Gorman, wrote up a walk through of CVE-2018-0171, an older Cisco vulnerability, that is still actively being exploited. For example, VOLT TYPHOON recently exploited this problem. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Network+Infraxploit+Guest+Diary/31844 Windows Update Issues / Windows 10 Update Microsoft updated its "Release Health" notes with details regarding issues users experiences with Windows Hello, Citrix, and Roblox. Microsoft also released an emergency update for Office 2016 which has stability problems after applying the most recent update. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/april-8-2025-kb5055523-os-build-26100-3775-277a9d11-6ebf-410c-99f7-8c61957461eb https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/windows-message-center#3521 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/april-10-2025-update-for-office-2016-kb5002623-d60c1f31-bb7c-4426-b8f4-69186d7fc1e5 Dell Updates Dell releases critical updates for it's Powerscale One FS product.

Den lösenordsfria vardagen har aldrig varit närmare! Eller? Det börjar i alla fall närma sig på arbetsplatsen. Mattias Jadesköld och Erik Zalitis tar pulsen på Microsofts svar i form av Windows Hello for Business i detta avsnitt. Tekniken har funnit ett tag givetvis men var står vi 2025? Hur kan en PIN-kod vara säkrare inloggningsmetod än inloggning med autentiseringsapp? Det är den faktiskt! Det är sant! Svårt att övertyga folk, men tro mig, så är det! Håller du inte med? För att förstår utvecklingen av passwordless, passkeys behöver duon gå tillbaka till böran av 2000-talet och se på utvecklingen med Passport, Windows 7 och även den enorma läckan i RockYou2024. Men hur ska man hantera systemkonton och adminkonton då? Man kan ju inte logga in med fingret som en databastjänst. Duon har kanske lösning på även det när de resonerar.

Microsoft has revamped its AI-powered Recall feature, shifting from automatic to opt-in use with enhanced security measures like full encryption and Windows Hello authentication, addressing privacy concerns. California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed SB-1047, which aimed to regulate AI models, citing concerns that smaller models outside the regulation's scope might pose greater risks. Meanwhile, OpenAI is facing a leadership shakeup as CTO Mira Murati and other key executives depart, coinciding with a shift in the company's focus toward a more traditional startup model under Sam Altman's leadership.

Ready to go passwordless? While at NDC in London, Richard chatted with Kyle Kotowick about the FIDO2 specification and how it is being implemented to provide more passwordless options for authentication. Kyle talks about how FIDO2 does not necessarily mean physical keys like the Yubikey - there are more options! The TPM chip in your PC or smartphone can act as the token generator when combined with a second authenticator, like fingerprint or facial recognition in Windows Hello. Ideally, this superior level of authentication is effortless - you use multifactor without even realizing you are!Links:Fido AllianceYubiKeysWindows Hello for BusinessWebAuthnCTAP2Recorded January 25, 2023
