A buggy but functional proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for an unpatched Windows local privilege escalation vulnerability dubbed BlueHammer has been published on GitHub by someone who goes by the handle Chaotic Eclipse and Nightmare Eclipse. Several security researchers have fixed the bugs in the exploit and made it work on patched Windows 10, 11, and Windows Server systems, and the question now is whether Microsoft is planning or working on a fix. The BlueHammer PoC exploit in action The bug hunter’s post seems to imply that the BlueHammer vulnerability, which currently has no CVE identifier, was first disclosed to Microsoft, but…

I’ve been putting this one off. Not because the argument is hard to make – it isn’t – but because the behavior it’s about has been a fixture of the SEO industry for as long as I’ve worked in it. The shiny new object arrives, the FOMO kicks in, the conference decks update, and an entire professional class reshuffles its vocabulary to match whatever acronym landed that quarter. I wrote recently about how AI content scaling is just content spinning with better grammar – the tools change, the qualitative wall doesn’t. The acronym cycle runs on the same engine. But…

Apple is selling an insane number of MacBook Neos, so much so that it’s now trying to adjust production to meet demand. People want the MacBook Neo in ways they have never wanted a MacBook before. It’s a near-perfect blend of Apple quality and affordability, and it’s opened the floodgates to consumers who thought they could never afford a MacBook. I expect this to be one of Apple’s most popular products of the decade, and I hope that it teaches the tech giant a valuable lesson:Make the iPhone more affordable.As of this moment, the cheapest iPhone you can buy is…
A new campaign delivering the Atomic Stealer malware to macOS users abuses the Script Editor in a variation of the ClickFix attack that tricked users into executing commands in Terminal. Script Editor is a built-in macOS application for writing and running scripts, primarily AppleScript and JXA, that can execute local scripts and shell commands. It is a trusted application pre-installed on macOS systems. While this is not the first time it has been abused for malware delivery, the researchers note that, in the context of the ClickFix social engineering technique, it does not require the victim to manually interact with…
On March 23, the FCC issued an update to their Covered List, a list of equipment banned from obtaining regulatory approval necessary for U.S. sale (and thus effectively a ban on sale of new devices), to include all new routers produced in foreign countries unless they are specifically given an exception by the Department of Defense (DoD) or DHS. The Commission cited “security gaps in foreign-made routers” leading to widespread cyberattacks as justification for the ban, mentioning the high-profile attacks by Chinese advanced persistent threat actors Volt, Flax, and Salt Typhoon. Although the stated intention is to stem the very…
If you shelved your inbound strategy this past year, you can shelve your Inbound conference mugs and swag with it. HubSpot renamed its annual Inbound conference in Boston this September to Unbound. A note on the event site explains the thinking: “This evolution is our response to that reality. INBOUND is becoming UNBOUND because growth no longer fits within a single framework or function. Today, it covers marketing, sales, service, and operations across the full customer journey in an AI-driven environment. UNBOUND reflects that expanded reality and the mindset required to lead through it.” Inbound is outbound. HubSpot pioneered inbound…
Smart TVs are universally terrible. No, not the panels which continue to improve year-on-year, but the “smart” part that runs on them. Slow CPUs lead to sluggish app performance, if you can find the apps you want to use. To fix it, many opt for external streaming devices, but these are, for the most part, underpowered. You might have the solution sitting in your home’s junk drawer — that old smartphone that you couldn’t bear to part with. With a fast CPU, support for most, if not all, of the codecs used in streaming, and HDMI output over USB-C, it’ll…
