🚨ALERT – Oracle issues emergency patch for CVE‑2025‑61882 after active exploitation 👉Why it matters – A critical zero‑day in Oracle E‑Business Suite allowed unauthenticated remote code execution—and ransomware groups like Cl0p are already exploiting it.  📣Call to Action – If any system you or a trusted organization uses has Oracle EBS, check patch status immediately and apply the fix without delay. 🚨ALERT – Zimbra calendar ICS exploit (CVE‑2025‑27915) discovered in the wild 👉Why it matters – Attackers embedded malicious JavaScript in calendar files (ICS) to hijack email systems, set filters, redirect mail, and steal data via Zimbra’s Classic Web client.  📣Call to Action – Confirm your Zimbra software is updated to versions patched in January 2025 (9.0.0 P44, 10.0.13, 10.1.5) or later—and scan for unexpected forwarding rules. 🧠MUST‑READ – Android Trojan “Datzbro” targets seniors via fake travel/social groups 👉Why it matters – This malware campaign uses AI‑gene...

1. U.S. Air Force probes major data breach tied to Microsoft SharePoint What happened:   • In early October, the U.S. Air Force publicly disclosed an investigation into a data breach caused by misconfigured SharePoint permissions.    • All SharePoint access across the Air Force has been suspended while the scope is assessed.    • Reports suggest that because Microsoft Teams and Power BI depend in part on SharePoint infrastructure, they may also be affected (though that is not yet confirmed).  Why it matters (for seniors / non‑tech folks):   • The Air Force handles some of the most sensitive data in the U.S.—personnel, health, operations. A breach there risks exposure of very personal or even national‑security information.   • It underscores that even strong institutions are not immune—if the Air Force can be hit, so can smaller organizations, hospitals, or local governments.   • If integration between systems (Teams, Power BI) is weak, the ripple effect can me...

But for Big Tech, it seems like they only buy the cure after the disaster, and the app we’re talking about is called ICEBlock. You probably heard the news - Apple yanked ICEBlock and a few similar apps from its App Store. But that raises the million-dollar question - Why were they allowed on the digital shelves in the first place? It’s time to find out why big companies are always working in reactive mode instead of proactive mode, and what similar apps are still out there watching the watchers. The Mystery o...

🔐 Red Hat confirms major breach of GitLab consulting systems What happened: On October 3, 2025 , Red Hat publicly confirmed a security breach affecting one of its GitLab instances used by its consulting arm.  The attacker claims to have exfiltrated ~570 GB of data from over 28,000 private repositories .  Red Hat says the impacted instance is separate from its core product and open source development platforms; its software supply chain and GitHub infrastructure are “not believed to be impacted.”  Why it matters (especially for non‑tech folks / seniors): Red Hat is a major player in the open source software ecosystem; attackers stealing internal code or client data could expose sensitive business or customer information. Even if not your software provider, big breaches like this raise the risk of downstream attacks — e.g. malicious actors could inject backdoors, exploit trust relationships, or use stolen code to craft new vulnerabilities. It also ...

Here's the prompt I used to create the lesson: "Write a short, engaging Storybook guide for seniors explaining why strong and unique passwords are essential. Use the metaphor of your password being a 'Secret Key' for a treasured digital box. The guide should encourage using a passphrase (a short, memorable sentence instead of a complicated jumble) and clearly explain why you should never reuse the same key for different boxes (accounts). Make it straightforward and friendly." Key Lesson - How to create an easy-to-remember but hard-to-guess password, and the danger of reusing them.

He believed forgiveness was an act of moral courage — the ability to rise above grievances and focus on the greater good. True strength, in his view, isn’t retaliation; it’s the deliberate choice to let go and work together. Fast-forward to today’s Washington, and the contrast is glaring. A government shutdown isn’t a by-product of “forgiveness gone wrong.” It’s a high-stakes game of brinkmanship. Each side digs in, framing compromise as weakness rather than strength. The ...
