Apple is giving users of old devices a false sense of security. This week’s iOS 15 & 16 updates address Coruna-exploited vulnerabilities. But hundreds of flaws remain unpatched—even ones exploited in the wild. Does #Apple care more about optics than protecting us? 🤔 #iPhone #cybersecurity #infosec

Here are my predictions for the First Partner Pokémon we might get in Pokémon Legends: Z-A (assuming it’s not the 3 original Kalos starters). 👇 We’ll probably find out in about 10 hours, during the Pokémon Presents livestream! 😲

Stay safe out there, folks. From the article: “As many more users are flocking to Bluesky… so are threat actors. “BleepingComputer has spotted #cryptocurrency scams popping up…” (Written by @axsharma.com for @bleepingcomputer.com) #scam #crypto #security www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

I’ve been doing cybersecurity research for over 25 years. But today’s the 15-year anniversary of when I started writing about infosec. 🥳🎉 My first article was on how to safely preview shortened URLs. It’s also the 15-year anniversary of the “StalkDaily Worm” that spread on Twitter on Apr 11, 2009.

Today, @mcelhearn.bsky.social & I wrote an overview of Threads for the @intego.com blog, covering: • what Threads is • how to get started • its privacy & security settings 👉 https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/threads-is-instagrams-twitter-heres-how-to-manage-your-privacy-and-security-settings/

Seeing headlines about “millions” who installed malicious Google Chrome extensions? It’s old news, based on a May 31 blog post. But it’s a great opportunity to remind that browser extensions can compromise security & privacy. Avoid installing extensions unless you’re sure they’re necessary & safe.

Mozilla Firefox is ending support for macOS Sierra, High Sierra, & Mojave, & Windows 7 & 8. 🔥My hot take: This is a good thing. 👀 Here’s why—& what to do if you have an old OS. 👉 https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/firefox-to-stop-macos-mojave-windows-7-8-updates-heres-why-thats-a-good-thing/

Lots of similar scams have been going around. @mcelhearn.bsky.social and I wrote about a Best Buy / Geek Squad invoice scam on @intego.com last month. https://www.intego.com/mac-security-blog/fake-geek-squad-emails-call-center-scam-leverages-intuit-quickbooks-servers/

21 years ago today—May 19, 2001—the first 2 physical Apple Stores opened their doors. Pundits thought they would fail, but Apple Stores have been a success. Days earlier, Steve Jobs introduced Apple's retail stores to the world via an online video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce02galgfRo&t=14s

I’ve been lurking since 4/25; I guess I’m past due for my self-intro. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I post (and blog, podcast, & public speak) about cybersecurity, Apple, & related topics. Random trivia: I once had a live post-show LOST podcast. I like TMNT. I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Excited to be part of the Bluesky community! 🤩 Any fellow gamers or YouTubers here?

25 years ago today—May 6, 1998—Steve Jobs introduced the original, “Bondi blue” iMac at an Apple keynote in Cupertino, California. The venue was the Flint Center for the Performing Arts at De Anza College, the same place where Jobs unveiled the original Macintosh in 1984.
