Oct 31, 2025Ravie LakshmananVulnerability / Threat Intelligence The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and National Security Agency (NSA), along with international partners from Australia and Canada, have released guidance to harden on-premise Microsoft Exchange Server instances from potential exploitation. “By restricting administrative access, implementing multi-factor authentication, enforcing strict transport security configurations, and adopting zero trust (ZT) security model principles, organizations can significantly bolster their defenses against potential cyber attacks,” CISA said. The agencies said malicious activity aimed at Microsoft Exchange Server continues to take place, with unprotected and misconfigured instances facing the brunt of the attacks. Organizations are…
Calling all bras, panties, boxers and briefs: Calvin Klein is accepting unwanted underthings from any brand for recycling. PVH Corporation’s Re-Calvin takeback program, announced Oct. 23, is a first for a major brand and a test of how circular fashion handles intimates, which companies usually can’t re-sell. Less than 1 percent of textiles are recycled into new fabrics, according to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a rate likely even lower in the roughly $90 billion global market for intimate-wear. It’s not just the ick factor that interferes with reuse, but also the difficulty of recycling blended and often stretchy materials. Calvin…
Have you ever wondered how to make your app’s features accessible from the built-in Shortcuts app on iOS? That’s what the App Intents framework is designed for.

AWS IoT Core is a managed service that helps you to securely connect billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices to the AWS cloud. The AWS IoT rules engine is a component of AWS IoT Core and provides SQL-like capabilities to filter, transform, and decode your IoT device data. You can use AWS IoT rules to route data to more than 20 AWS services and HTTP endpoints using AWS IoT rule actions. Substitution templates are a capability in IoT rules that augments the JSON data returned when a rule is triggered and AWS IoT performs an action. This blog post…

When electricity moves through wires, some of its energy is lost along the way. That loss, however, might not be inevitable. Researchers at Penn State have developed a new way to identify materials known as superconductors — substances that can carry electric current with zero resistance, meaning no energy is wasted during transmission. The Challenge of Cold Superconductors Despite their promise, most superconducting materials cannot yet be used in everyday technology. Their extraordinary ability to conduct electricity only appears at extremely low temperatures, far below what is practical for energy systems or advanced electronics. Supported by the “Theory of Condensed…
The ability to download media on the internet almost feels like a lost art. When I was in my teens, piracy of mp3s, movies, and just about everything else via torrents and apps like Kazaa, LimeWire, Napster, etc. was in full swing. These days sites use blob URLs and other means to prevent downloads. Luckily we have tools like yt-dlp to download individual YouTube videos or entire channels of content. To download an entire channel, you can use yt-dlp: yt-dlp If you’re like me and only care for the audio, you can use a few more arguments: yt-dlp -x –audio-format…
From early 2022 through late 2024, a group of threat actors publicly known as APT28 exploited known vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2022-38028, to remotely and wirelessly access sensitive information from a targeted company network. The attack first compromised less secure Wi-Fi networks of multiple organizations that were in close physical proximity to the intended target. This incident brings to light the critical role that software plays in the security of modern-day wireless communication systems, both military and civilian. This attack did not require any hardware to be placed in the vicinity of the targeted company’s network as the attackers were able…
Court records have revealed that a key witness has been arrested in the high-profile illicit gambling case involving Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez. Krishna Kumar Deokaran was apprehended on October 6 by Lake County officers to face a charge of money laundering. The 50-year-old is alleged to have committed the acts between January and May 2024 across three Florida counties. No further specifics have been divulged, but it is a notable update as Deokaran is one of the key witnesses in the overall case against the suspended Sheriff Marcos Lopez. His involvement and status could directly impact the broader case…
We look at the new Pixel Buds 2a, see more about them here. New Pixel Buds 2a, reviewed Out of the box our testers liked a few things about the earbuds, in a way that they felt that perhaps the manufacturers had responded to user feedback. Our team quickly noticed that the charging box was back to a smaller more snug size. They quickly pulled out the last iteration, larger, and then the ones before that, smaller, which they felt was better, more mobile and less obtrusive. Similarly they pointed out that some degree of an ear clip was now…
