In addition to the security updates from Apple:
Google has patched Chrome and thus the Chromium engine used by Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, and other browsers except Firefox and Safari.
Microsoft has issued its December security update for windows.
Fortinet, Adobe, and SAP join the list - so far.
A recent increase in calls to victims from many law enforcement agencies seeking funds and/or personal information.
FBI, U.S. Marshals, State, local law enforcement agencies, and government agencies.
All seeking payment via gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers, and other means. These tactics are rapidly evolving.
No government agencies, law enforcement, court systems, or similar will call for notification and payments.
Report any and all such calls to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov.
The FBI warns there are many versions of this scam, “and they all exploit intimidation tactics.” Callers use “an urgent and aggressive tone, refusing to speak to or leave a message with anyone other than their targeted victim.” They also warn victims “not to tell anyone else, including family, friends, or financial institutions.”
The Forbes report is frightening. PLEASE BE AWARE.
HANG UP. REPORT.
At least 8 vulnerabilities found in over 700 printer models from Brother and other vendors. Printers, scanners, label makers.
Add Fujifilm Business Innovation, Ricoh, Konica Minolta, and Toshiba. So, millions of devices.
Critical flaw: Allows device serial number to expose default administrator password. Thus any remote and unauthenticated attacker can access device administrator's functions. Printers are computers on your home network. DoS attacks, generate HTTP traffic, expose recently printed documents.
Brother advisory here. The vulnerability exposing the administrator password CAN NOT be patched. Other manufacture's advisories are available on their respective support sites.
