Zoom Desktop Client (now rebranded as “Zoom Workplace”) is now at version 6.0.0 for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

It includes “security enhancements.” (Zoom hasn’t released security bulletins or CVE details yet.)

Also watch for iOS and Android updates, which should be coming soon.

You can finally play Pokémon games (and much more) by downloading ROMs onto your iPhone and playing them in an emulator. Freakin’ awesome! 🤩

Let’s hope this one actually stays in the App Store (unlike a couple others that already came and went in the past week). 🍎‍📱‍👾

Even accounts with over 1 million followers aren’t immune to hacking or phishing attacks. 😬

Stay safe out there. 🔒

Yup. An unlocked smartphone lets a potential attacker access your:

1️⃣ e-mail 📧
2️⃣ Authenticator apps
3️⃣ texting apps
4️⃣ social media apps 🗣️

…so they could potentially lock you out of almost every account, and scam your friends and relatives. 😱

Use a tripod/selfie stick. 😅

LaurieWired Google’s working on the cookie-theft problem. (Stealing 🍪 seems silly, until you realize that sites leave you logged in using session cookies. Currently, a stolen 🍪 can often be reused on any attacker’s system. I spoke about this at Virus Bulletin Conf 2023.) x.com/bleepincompute…

Over 1 hour later, the hacked YT channel that Mysk warned about currently has 4 streams, each with tens of thousands of live viewers. 🙈

This type of attack & scam happens fairly often. 👀
