Antivirus firm Dr.Web has flagged a type of Android malware known as Android.Vo1d that has infected about 1.3 million TV boxes across 197 countries.
The malware effectively enables a backdoor into the TV box's system that allows an attacker to download and install malicious third-party software. The R4 TV box model running Android 7.1.2, a TV Box running Android 12.1, and the KJ-SMART4KVIP TV box running Android 10.1 were the types of devices reportedly impacted.
I found a zero-click vulnerability in macOS Calendar, which allows an attacker to add or delete arbitrary files inside the Calendar sandbox environment. This could lead to many bad things including malicious code execution which can be combined with security protection evasion with Photos to compromise users’ sensitive Photos iCloud Photos data. Apple has fixed all of the vulnerabilities between October 2022 and September 2023.
Apple said there’s “too significant a risk” of exposing the anti-exploit work needed to fend off the very adversaries involved in the case.

At the start of September, Kawasaki Motors Europe, (KME) was the subject of a cyber-attack which, although not successful, resulted in the company’s servers being temporarily isolated until a strategic recovery plan was initiated later on the same day.
KME and its country Branches operate a large number of servers and, as a precaution, it was decided to isolate each one and put a cleansing process in place whereby all data was checked and any suspicious material identified and dealt with.
Data centres in the UK are to be classified as critical national infrastructure, joining the emergency services, finance and healthcare systems, and energy and water supplies.
It means they would get extra government support during a major incident, such as a cyber attack, an IT outage or extreme weather, in order to minimise disruption.
