CISA said it added the vulnerability “based on evidence that threat actors are actively exploiting” it. Cybersecurity company Deepwatch said in a blog last week that proof-of-concept code was publicly disclosed and that threat actors with limited access to a compromised device “can utilize this vulnerability to quickly elevate privileges, allowing them to spread laterally inside the network, create new administrator users, and run privileged commands.” “According to the security researcher credited with disclosing the vulnerability to Microsoft, the vulnerability has already been exploited by advanced persistent threat (APT) actors....

The Australian energy giant said the proposal, which was received on Saturday, 19 January 2022, “materially undervalues” the company and would not be in the “best interests” of shareholders. Under the unsolicited proposal, which was put forward by a consortium led by Brookfield and included Grok Ventures, Cannon-Brookes’ private investment company, AGL Energy was being offered AU$7.50 per share. According to AGL, this proposal represented a 4.7% premium on AGL’s closing price of AU$7....

Apple and the MLS on Wednesday announced that the MLS Season Pass will be available through the Apple TV app on Apple products, in addition to smart TVs, streaming devices (like Roku), set-top boxes, gaming consoles, and by visiting tv.apple.com in your browser. I had a chance to see an early preview of the MLS Season Pass, found under the Sports tab in the Apple TV app and it looks really well done....

The TicWatch GTH Pro is available for just $99.99 in Meteorite Black with a black silicone watch band. There is no GPS receiver onboard, you cannot install third-party apps, and smartwatch functions are very limited. The affordable wearable is primarily focused on health and wellness, but lacking in other areas we typically see in a smartwatch which makes it less capable as a primary wearable. Hardware The Mobvoi TicWatch GTH Pro is a rather unremarkable wearable with a simple black square form factor, small color 1....

Almost three out of four of us (71%) check our phones within 10 minutes of waking up. If we are on our expensive phones most of the day, do we really get anything in return? Well, Mode Mobile has released an app for Android phones that enables users to do just that. The Mode Earn app, is a rewards-based app that gives phones users the opportunity to earn supplemental income, up to $600 per year or more, for doing everyday activities such as listening to music, or playing games on a mobile device....

Honesty about your cluelessness, haplessness and withering hopelessness can be utterly disarming. This is why I’ve just been moved to rare, laughter-led pity toward senior corporate executives. (Normally, I only feel it to this degree whenever they try to justify their political contributions or their personal indiscretions.) You see, I’ve just been forcibly absorbed into a report entitled “The State of Digital Adoption”. It offers the sort of chilling statistics that one generally gets from detailed analyses of Major League Baseball umpires’ performances....

So when Motorola emailed me this morning announcing that its Moto Watch 100 is now available for pre-order, I was intrigued. After seeing that it was priced at just $99.99, I placed my order and will be reviewing one soon. Also: Best Android smartwatches The Moto Watch 100 runs a real-time operating system (RTOS) called Moto Watch OS, similar to what we see from others like OnePlus and Amazfit. One benefit of running an RTOS is long battery life; Motorola advertises 14 days for this new watch....

There is nothing wrong with the look and feel of the Moto G22. It has a plastic chassis with a mildly reflective backplate. The screen sits in noticeable bezels, particularly at the bottom edge, but the bezels are by no means huge and are not especially off-putting. For the record, Motorola claims a screen-to-body ratio of 89.03%, although our calculation puts it at 83%. The Moto G22 is a bit on the thick side at 8....

Gadgets do it faster, so there’s a certain expectation that, after 18 months, your phone simply isn’t the same. I thought my iPhone 12, however, was a reasonably sturdy thing. Until, that is, it began to lose energy like a backup point guard who’s been traded 13 times. Something weird was happening. My iPhone usually had excellent battery life for me; I often didn’t have to charge it all day....

NAB boasts that unlike other BNPL products, NAB Now Pay Later charges no late fees, interest, and account fees. Customers will be able to access up to AU$1,000, split purchases in four payments, and use it anywhere Visa is accepted. Speaking to ZDNet, NAB personal banking executive CIO Ana Cammaroto explained the introduction of the bank’s version of a BNPL product was based on customer demand. “We’ve been continuing to watch the market and despite some of the conversations that you see happening [about BNPL], our customers are voting with their experiences and clicks....

NASA is expecting a “rapid uptick” in new near-Earth astroid (NEA) discoveries thanks to new satellites coming online in coming years, such as NASA’s upcoming Near-Earth Object Surveyor space telescope and Chile’s Vera C. Rubin Observatory. It says new NEA discoveries currently happen at a rate of 3,000 per year. Sentry-II is a next-generation impact-monitoring system that could support efforts like the DART, or Double Asteroid Redirect Test (DART), mission that headed to space on a SpaceX Falcon 9 in November....

Diet Apps and the Data They Collect The researchers looked at three popular companies: BetterMe, VShred, and Noom. These companies offer questionnaires online that claim to help find the best diet for users. These companies also invest heavily in PPC (pay-per-click) marketing, usually bidding high on popular keywords like “weight loss.” The researchers first filled out the questionnaires and noted the type of information collected by each of the three companies....

It’s this “dark” coax that the NexusLink G.HN Wave 2 Ethernet Over Coax Adapter makes use of to quickly, cheaply expand your wired home networking options. If you live in a home already wired for Ethernet, or you’ve spent thousands of dollars to add it, you likely don’t need this product. But if you’re in the situation the vast majority of us find ourselves in, these adapters could save you time and money by turning that dark coax into a valuable networking asset....

MetaMask security analyst Harry Denley first alerted users of the scheme, which used two phishing domain links for malicious campaigns targeting Beeple’s more than 670,000 followers. $430,000 Stolen Via Two Phishing Links Cybercrooks capitalized on the NFT artist’s recent digital art collaboration with luxury fashion juggernaut Louis Vuitton by creating a phishing link disguised as a legitimate raffle on Beeple’s Twitter account. Winkelmann had crafted 30 NFTs for Louis Vuitton’s “Louis The Game” mobile game, which were meant to be rewarded to players....

The larger the network, the more opportunities there may be for threat actors to infiltrate, cause damage, or conduct theft. Today’s corporate networks often provide a vast attack surface, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices, mobile products, remote work tools, on-prem and off-prem services, and cloud systems. It may be a challenge for businesses to work out what the most important areas are in terms of cybersecurity investment, but a new computational model could take out some of the guesswork....

Once the new instance was installed, I rebooted and logged in. To my surprise, nearly all of the desktop elements were present. I had a dock (Latte dock) and a top panel. With those elements in place, the desktop was nearly perfect. However, the one thing that seemed to be missing (which was also missing in the original installation) was window title bars (seemed being the operative word). As you can see, neither Firefox nor the terminal window has title bars in this image....

The legal spat between the companies arose last year when Fortnite was booted off Apple and Google’s app stores for introducing a new payment system that sidestepped the tech giants’ payment systems and in-app purchase commissions. Shortly after receiving the boot, Epic Games filed antitrust lawsuits against both Apple and Google across numerous jurisdictions, including in Australia. In all those lawsuits, Epic Games has accused the tech giants of conducting anti-competitive and monopolistic practices due to their 30% commission fee structures....

The warning comes following the discovery of an email phishing campaign that tricks victims into downloading legitimate remote monitoring and management (RMM) software, which allows attackers to gain access to bank accounts. Also: These experts are racing to protect AI from hackers. Time is running out Crucially, it does so without triggering antivirus alerts because the RMM tool is a genuine application with a verified case for use – and that’s something that cyber criminals can exploit as a workaround, rather than attempting to trick victims into downloading malware that could set off warnings....

In partnership with the Associated Press, Citizen Lab revealed on Thursday that Polish Senator Krzysztof Brejza was hacked using NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware 33 times between April 26, 2019 and October 23, 2019. Brejza helped run the opposition campaign against the right-wing government of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki that is currently in power. Doctored photos from Brejza’s smartphone falsely implicated him in several scandals and were shared by government-backed news outlets....
