All about "security and anti-virus software".

Yup. Everyone hoped that Apple could make it better than Intel. Do you live in a glasshouse bro @Mr. Fox? Some do.

 

The security analysts confirmed the exploit, dubbed GoFetch, works on M1 CPUs and speculate that it likely also impacts M2 and M3 chips and their Pro and Max variants. Intel's 13th-generation Raptor Lake processors also exhibit the flaw that enables GoFetch but are probably unaffected.

 

 

Unpatchable Apple Silicon vulnerability could leak encryption keys

In brief: Hardware-based security flaws have become more frequent over the last several years but have mostly affected Intel and AMD processors. Now, Apple joins those ranks with a recently discovered vulnerability that causes Mac M-series CPUs to expose encryption keys. Since it is hardware-based, there is little users can do besides keeping macOS updated.

Dell is warning potentially millions of customers that sensitive information including details of purchases and support calls the last decade are being trafficked on the Dark Web.

Dell warns of data breach, 49 million customers allegedly affected

Dell is warning customers of a data breach after a threat actor claimed to have stolen information for approximately 49 million customers.

 

Dell Technologies take your privacy and personal information seriously. If they did, then why the need for pushing out this message? LOOL

 

 

Dell doesn’t believe that there is “significant risk”. Of course they say so. Even stupids can see the truth in between the lines of the liars statement. 

 

And can you be sure DELL tell the whole truth? Nope. Much more info about their customers privacy can have been hacked.

Researcher says Microsoft's Windows Recall has security gaps "you can fly a plane through"

The OCR data for each snapshot is stored in a plaintext SQLite database file.

 

And Microsoft want that you swap out to newer hardware for security reasons (to be allowed to run their newest OS). <<More secure hardware won't help if the oS continue be a security problem. And with Microsofts new features you will get a less secure computer.

Buffer Overflow Vulnerability Discovered in Crucial MX500 SSD Firmware

 

Buffer overflow vulnerabilities are significant because they can allow attackers to overwrite memory, execute arbitrary code, or crash the system. In the context of an SSD controller, this could lead to data corruption, loss, or unauthorized access. Given that SSDs are integral to data storage and retrieval, a vulnerability at this level poses serious risks
