Russian state-sponsored hackers Fancy Bear (aka APT 28) are exploiting CVE-2026-21509, a Microsoft Office vulnerability for which Microsoft released an emergency fix last week. The exploitation CVE-2026-21509 allows unauthorized attackers to bypass a security feature (OLE mitigations in Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Office) locally, by creating and tricking targets into opening booby-trapped Office files.

To safeguard your login details, you must tell Firefox to stop saving them. To do this, click the…

When you create a chart in Excel, you get a clean, standard design that does a decent job of presenting your data. Right after inserting the chart, the ribbon also surfaces a set of recommended, pre-styled themes that let you tweak the look and feel. These options are quite useful for quick adjustments. That said, those presets rarely go far enough. If you want your charts to be instantly readable and tailored to the specific point you’re trying to make, you’ll almost always need deeper customization. This is where the chart format pane comes in. Whether I’m adjusting the spacing…
