Along with key HomePod improvements, Apple also introduced Messages in iCloud with iOS 11.4. It’s a useful feature designed to store your Messages and attachments in iCloud, but enterprise users should think twice before enabling it.

I’m not saying iCloud is not secure – so long as you use a six-or more digit passcode or (better, but more awkward) an alphanumeric passcode, it’s highly secure. I’m reasonably confident a strong password, Apple’s own systems and its insistence you use two-factor authentication is enough for most of us.

Thus continues the tradition of two cumulative updates per month for all of the supported Windows 10 versions – that’s eight cumulative updates in total – in addition to bobs and weaves and a very long list of acknowledged bugs introduced by recent security patches in Windows 7.
Conflicts with Remote Desktop
The strange behavior of the CredSSP update – where the Patch Tuesday fixes for all versions of Windows seemed to break Remote Desktop Protocol with a strange error message: “This could be due to CredSSP encryption oracle remediation” has been resolved.

Les enquêteurs ne peuvent pas entrer dans 7775 appareils, selon le directeur du FBI Christopher Wray qui est en faveur des backdoors chiffrées. Mais récemment, le FBI est finalement passé aux aveux. En effet, The Washington Post a rapporté que le FBI a admis que le chiffre de 7 800 avait été “grossièrement gonflé” !<img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sophos/dgdY/~4/kInkg8if6T4″ height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/>
