Submitted by Ian Grutze If mobile threats diversified and expanded in 2016, they matured in 2017. Mobile ransomware continued to rear its head, burgeoning into the platform’s most prevalent threat. Simple screen lockers, for instance, evolved into file-encrypting malware, some of which even seemed to keep pace with their desktop counterparts in terms of malicious routines….

There’s a new security policy at this biotech company, reports a pilot fish in the know: When logging in on a PC, the username field will now be blank, and everyone will have to input the name together with the password.
“The policy is announced weeks in advance,” fish says. “In spite of this, the first day is painful. A flurry of calls comes into the IT help desk regarding people not being able to log in. One is from a junior member of the payroll department who is about to leave on a two-week vacation — in fact, her flight is later that afternoon.”
“A tech tries to help her over the phone, but apparently she couldn’t tell the difference between the username box and password box, in spite of them actually being labeled as such.”

Read moreMicrosoft Patch Alert: April patches infested with bugs, but most are finally contained
Credit to Author: Woody Leonhard| Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2018 12:06:00 -0700
People think I’m joking when I refer to bug fixing as Microsoft’s next billion-dollar business. I’m not. This month woefully demonstrated why patching Windows has become much bigger – and more critical – than developing new versions. Microsoft’s hell-bent move to bring out new versions of Windows twice a year “as a service” makes things worse, but quality control problems dog patches to every version of Windows. Except, arguably, Windows 8.1.
In April, we’ve seen a return to two massive cumulative updates per month for all supported versions of Windows 10. The second cumulative update, with luck, fixes the bugs in the first cumulative update. Windows 7 turned into a fiery pit when it was discovered in late March that every patch to Win7 (and Server 2008R2) pushed out this year enables the Total Meltdown bug. Fortunately, by April 23, we finally saw some stability return to the process.
