Hello! This is the KodingTech team. We don't know how you're doing with the heat outside, but we're thinking more and more about the cold beer we planned to drink after the show. But until then, we'd like to announce that today, on Koding Tech Select, Episode 26, we have some interesting news about Facebook, Microsoft, iPhone, WhatsApp and what other cyberattacks hackers have been up to in the last week.
Facebook makes an important update to groups, allowing administrators to designate certain members as experts. They will benefit from a "Group Expert" badge, to differentiate themselves from other members.
Microsoft has fixed no less than 117 vulnerabilities this month. Specifically, we are talking here about a series of security updates for a number of products and features, including Microsoft Office, Windows Defender, Windows Hello and Microsoft Exchange Server.
Apple launches MagSafe Battery for iPhone 12. That is, an external battery, which gives you the ability to charge your phone wirelessly, just by magnetically attaching a device. The battery is compatible with all iPhone 12 models: iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and even iPhone 12 mini.
WhatsApp is making an important and long-awaited update: the "view once" feature. This allows users to transmit images and video content that can only be viewed once.
Cyber attackers are back in action, this time in Iran. Iran's national railway system was attacked on Friday, with messages like "long delayed because of cyberattack" or "cancelled" appearing on train station boards. And as a bonus, they urged passengers to seek further information by publishing the phone numbers of the office of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
If last week we were talking about vulnerability Microsoft appeared at the Printing service, this time we see that Their attempt to fix the problem resulted in some printers being disabled. Zebra Printers users have reported difficulties with printing after security updates released by Microsoft to fix the so-called PrintNightmare.
