Microsoft Patch Tuesday Likely To Target XML Bug, IE9 Vulnerabilities


Quote
This month, the advisory specifies a total of nine bulletins, three of which are listed as critical with the remaining six listed as important.

“I expect them to fix an XML problem that they identified last month," said Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys. “This is in response to a zero-day attack that is already being used in the wild. Last Patch Tuesday, they provided a workaround. And while we recommend that people use the workaround, I'm expecting a very real patch coming out on Tuesday.”

Windows Gadgets and Sidebar being killed off
« Reply #1974 on: July 12, 2012, 12:25:10 AM »
I just read this article. I never use gadgets or the sidebar but I know the functionality is enabled.  It looks like it's time to get rid of them.

Windows, Linux, Mac OS X Hit by Cross-Platform Malware Attack

Quote
An attack has been discovered that serves up malware for all three platforms and opens up a backdoor on victimized systems.

Windows, Linux and Mac OS X are being targeted in a cross-platform malware attack, according to security experts.

Researchers at F-Secure spotted the attack on a Colombian transport site. The attack begins with a signed Java applet and a social engineering ploy in the form of a dialog box prompting the user to run an application despite its digital certificate not being verified.
