The phishing campaign, dubbed MirrorBlast, was detected by security firm ET Labs in early September. Fellow security firm Morphisec has now analyzed the malware and notes the malicious Excel files could bypass malware-detection systems because it contains “extremely lightweight” embedded macros, making it “particularly dangerous” for organizations that depend on detection-based security and sandboxing. Macros, scripts for automating tasks, have become a popular tool for cyberattackers. While macros are disabled in Excel by default, attackers use social engineering to trick potential victims into enabling macros....

Indiana’s first lawsuit alleges TikTok has marketed its video-sharing platform as safe for teens, even though its algorithm “serves up abundant content” depicting drugs, sexual content and other inappropriate themes. The second lawsuit asserts that TikTok has deceived consumers by suggesting their personal information is protected from the Chinese government and Communist Party. “The TikTok app is a malicious and menacing threat unleashed on unsuspecting Indiana consumers by a Chinese company that knows full well the harms it inflicts on users,” Rokita said in a statement....

Apple on Wednesday released several security updates for the iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, and Mac lineup. More specifically, Apple released iOS 15.3, iPadOS 15.3, WatchOS 8.4, and macOS 12.12. The change log for each update only states that the update includes “bug fixes and security updates” but doesn’t mention any other changes or new features. Typically whenever Apple releases an update that takes a build number from something like 15....

“Success is not illegal,” US District Judge Yvonne Gonzales Rogers wrote. While the judge ruled that Apple is not an antitrust monopolist, she did find that Apple is engaging in anticompetitive conduct under California’s competition laws. Consequently, she issued the injunction blocking Apple’s App Store rules. In addition to addressing in-app purchases, the injunction says Apple can’t stop developers from communicating with customers via contact information that customers voluntarily submit when they set up an account within an app....

It’s a mode of storytelling that’s particularly hard, one where the speed of events can rapidly overtake a story as it passes through the slow process of publishing. Roy Amara’s eponymous law says “We tend to overestimate the effect of a technology in the short run and underestimate the effect in the long run”. It’s an adage that seems particularly apt when we look at how the world changes. Tomorrow looks much like today, but who can tell the shape of things to come in just five years?...

My regular commute includes a mix of a seven-mile bike ride, a 1.6-mile walk, and a 1.5-hour train ride. The e-bike is an essential component of this commute, and it has certainly become more valued with the massive increase in the price of fuel. In addition to being economical, riding an electronic bike is also a kick in the pants. For the past month, I’ve incorporated the Velotric Discover 1 into my commute, and it has quickly become one of my favorites thanks to its affordable price, excellent build quality, step-through design, solid performance, and many small things that make a big impact on overall value....

The “limited time” promotion will remain attached to your account if Visible should the promotion end. Since it’s launch, Visible has interacted with its customers, gaining feedback and insight into what its “members” want from the service. As such, the removal of the data speed cap could end up being a permanent change based on the feedback Visible receives. I talked with Visible CEO Miguel Quiroga earlier this year and demoed the service for a few weeks....

Prepping for this article, I decided to do a little research on what’s out there about the topic. I found a handful of articles from the early 2010s through today – some of them very good, some of them interesting. A few analyst reports but nothing earth-shattering because they focus on the same thing: how do organizations shift their content strategies or marketing campaigns from distribution to “education” (a distribution with fancier words), but none really focused on a different approach....

The point of having a camera that takes pictures for you isn’t to replace the kind of carefully composed images where you think hard about the picture you want to take. It’s more about capturing moments of your life and leaving you free to enjoy them without thinking about pulling out the camera. If you want to document your life in detail to help you remember it in the future (perhaps when your memory isn’t as good as it once was), or if you’re always the person taking the photos and never the person getting their photo taken, the idea might seem appealing....
