Zoom has fixed vulnerabilities that could have allowed hackers to leverage the loophole and gain total control of a victim's machine. The issues were found and reported to Zoom in December 2021 but were shared at the DefCon security conference by Mac security researcher Patrick Wardle in Las Vegas last week. He said that he highlighted two issues in the automatic update feature of the video communication platform last year, which were fixed. However, the fix also brought in another vulnerability which Wardle shared…

Zoom's automatic update option can help users ensure that they have the latest, safest version of the video conferencing software, which has had multiple privacy and security issues over the years. A Mac security researcher, however, has reported vulnerabilities he found in the tool that attackers could have exploited to gain full control of a victim's computer at this year's DefCon. According to Wired, Patrick Wardle presented two vulnerabilities during the conference. He found the first one in the app's signature check,…

For the first time, we have shown that a soft heel pad was crucial to how sauropod dinosaurs supported their immense weight, according to a new digital reconstruction of their feet.Sauropods, which weighed up to 50 tons and dominated the world's ecosystems for around 100 million years, appear to have developed soft heel pads early in their evolution, and it was likely a key step that allowed sauropods to become the largest animals to have ever walked the earth.Our work appears this week in the journal Science…

On Thursday, the Federal Election Commission approved a new proposal from Google to keep campaign emails from being marked as spam. Google’s plan, first reported by Axios in June, would allow for candidates, political party committees, and leadership political action committees to apply for the program that would make their messages exempt from Gmail’s spam detection systems. While Google did not need the FEC to approve the plan before rolling it out, it sought a vote earlier this summer to ensure the program wasn’t at…

In 2019 Cameron Monaghan lent his talent to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The video game was a hit, and, since then, there have been calls among fans for Monaghan’s Cal Kestis to jump to live-action work. He says he knows there’s interest in seeing the Order 66 survivor debut on the big screen, but, unsurprisingly, is either unwilling or unable to say anything further. The 28-year-old talked about the character during an interview with Screen Rant to promote new project Paradise Highway. If Monaghan knows…

Scrolling through your Xbox game library, it can be difficult to tell which games you can actually play at the moment — perhaps you downloaded something from Game Pass, but it’s no longer on the service, or your friend came over to play a game and took the disc it was on home with them. Microsoft is currently testing a solution to this problem, with badges that will warn you that a game can’t be launched, according to Xbox engineering lead Eden Marie. In a Twitter thread, Marie explains that the feature adds two badges…

We recently celebrated our daughter’s marriage, a life-affirming ritual made all the more joyous by being able to reunite with extended family and friends following an endless COVID-induced hiatus. The wedding took place just a few weeks before the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, which had established a constitutional right to abortion for about 50 years. The near coincidence of the two events left us shaken. It underlined yet again something that we had discussed repeatedly over the decades every time a…
