Summary A Zoom Workplace vulnerability allowed attackers to run code on meeting participants’ devices through screen sharing, even without direct interaction. The flaw affected every supported operating system running Zoom Workplace versions earlier than 7.1.0. Zoom has patched the vulnerability, so users should check their installed version and update to the latest release immediately. A security researcher discovered a vulnerability in Zoom Workplace that allowed an attacker to run code on participants’ devices. Simply having screen sharing enabled by one participant could put everyone in the meeting at risk, even those who never interacted with the attacker. The bug wasn’t…

Enterprise internet security vendors and experts have spent many years trying to understand human behavior.As a result, there is now a wide variety of very effective tools and processes that help distinguish legitimate user activity from behavior that may indicate a compromised account or malicious activity.Behavioral analytics has come a very long way.Latest Videos FromTechRadar Findlay Whitelaw Social Links Navigation The underlying principle is that behavior is often a stronger indicator of compromise than the use of credentials alone.In this context, behavioral analytics establishes a strong baseline for individual users over time, including the systems they access, typical login patterns,…

Cisco informed customers on Tuesday that it has released patches for a zero-day vulnerability affecting firewalls running Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) software. The security hole, tracked as CVE-2026-20349, is related to the processing of HTTP requests.  A remote, unauthenticated attacker can cause an appliance to reload and enter a denial-of-service (DoS) condition by sending a specially crafted HTTP request to the Remote Access SSL VPN service.  The vulnerability was discovered internally by Cisco and also reported by an external researcher.  Cisco said it became aware of active exploitation in August 2026, but…

The Sun, Moon, and Earth align on August 12, 2026, to produce a total solar eclipse. When this celestial event last occurred, on April 8, 2024, the path of totality stretched across North America, giving millions the chance to glimpse the Sun’s corona. In 2026, the viewing locales are more limited; only a handful of land areas in the Northern Hemisphere, including parts of Iceland and Spain, fall within the path of totality. On August 12, the Moon’s shadow will first cross over the Arctic Circle from northern Russia and then track along the eastern side of Greenland. At about…

As expected, Xiaomi unveiled its newest Redmi K-series phones in China today, and they are equipped with some impressive specs. Though they look alike, they also bring several key differences. Redmi K100 Pro (left) and K100 Pro Max (right) Redmi K100 Pro gets Qualcomm’s recently announced Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 V Series (SM8850-1-AB) chip, which is a binned version of the regular SD Elite Gen 5. The major change is on the GPU side, where the Adreno 840 GPU comes with two cores running at 1.2GHz instead of three units clocked at 1.3GHz. The K100 Pro…

So, there is more to it than more RAM and a new color – the Fairphone 6+ will feature a new chipset too. EvLeaks has posted the complete specs sheet for the upcoming phone, an “exploded view” image of the phone’s internals and even a promo video. Leaked: Fairphone 6+ complete specs sheet The specs sheet helpfully marks the changes from the original Fairphone 6 in bold. As previously reported, the RAM capacity on the Plus model will increase to 12GB, up from 8GB (LPDDR5 in both cases). Storage remains the same, 256GB of UFS 3.1, plus the…

Microsoft on Tuesday announced patches for 421 CVEs, including a high-severity vulnerability that has been exploited in the wild as a zero-day. The exploited flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-68820, is described as a use-after-free issue in Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock (afd.sys), the kernel-mode driver functioning as the backbone for the Windows Sockets API. Microsoft says threat actors have been exploiting the security defect to elevate their privileges to System, without sharing details on the observed attacks. “A locally authenticated attacker could run a specially crafted application on an affected system to trigger a race condition. Successful exploitation could allow the…

“Burn fat, build muscle.” It’s a familiar workout slogan, but the benefits go far beyond aesthetics. Having less belly fat and more muscle guards against heart attacks, Type 2 diabetes, and a host of other metabolic diseases.Some people may have a genetic edge.A massive study of over one million people across three continents discovered a rare mutation in a gene called FNIP1 is linked to a healthier metabolic profile. The gene helps cells sense nutrients and generate energy. All of us have FNIP1, but about one in 7,000 people inherit a protective version. On average, they had a 60 percent…

Valve’s Linux push can look almost inevitable in hindsight. Proton lets SteamOS run Windows games, the Steam Deck turned SteamOS into something people actually buy on purpose, and Valve followed it with a new Steam Machine for 2026. Linux gaming still has plenty of rough edges, but we’ve come a long way from the days when installing Linux meant accepting that most commercial PC games simply weren’t coming with you. More than a decade before Valve brought Steam to Linux, a small company in Tustin, California, tried to change that in the expensive way. Loki Software licensed Windows games from…
