You Can Play Flappy Bird in the Mac Finder

by: Paul Horowitz If you’re a longtime Mac and iPhone user, you likely remember the wildly popular viral iPhone game called Flappy Bird from way back in 2013, with its very challenging yet addictive gameplay. Flappy Bird was an absolutely massive hit that quickly came crashing down when the developer yanked the game from the iPhone App Store due its addictive nature and the surrounding pressures he felt as the game became a global phenomena.Well, here we are more than a decade later, and Flappy Bird has been revived by a different developer, as “Flappy Dird”, and it’s implemented in… the MacOS Finder?!As wild as it sounds, Flappy Dird uses AppleScript and Python to allow a Flappy Bird-like clone to play directly in the MacOS Finder, using folders, list view, custom icons, and all sorts of wizardry and creativity to recognize clicks, rapidly change the icons, and basically recreate the basic Flappy Bird gameplay within a Finder window. Cool, huh? ⇨⇨ Full Article ⇦⇦

Urgent WhatsApp chat warning issued to all UK users - ignoring it will be costly

All UK WhatsApp users must be on high alert after the resurgence of a money-stealing chat scam. May 9, 2024 By Dave Snelling Sadly, there is no video to watch with the criminal simply using this trick to get access to the security registration code that WhatsApp issues. This allows them to register the victim’s WhatsApp account to a new device and fully take over the account.The moment they are successful, they then begin messaging friends and family of the victim claiming they urgently need help and money transferred into their account.It's similar to the infamous "Hi mum" attack that saw some users handing over thousands of pounds to scammers.“WhatsApp remains an integral mode of communication for many people across the UK, however fraudsters still find ways to infiltrate these platforms. Sadly, anyone can be become a target for fraud," Detective Superintendent Gary Miles, Head of the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau at the City of London Police. >> Full Article <<

Citrix warns admins to manually mitigate PuTTY SSH client bug

May 9, 2024 By Sergiu Gatlan Citrix notified customers this week to manually mitigate a PuTTY SSH client vulnerability that could allow attackers to steal a XenCenter admin's private SSH key.XenCenter helps manage Citrix Hypervisor environments from a Windows desktop, including deploying and monitoring virtual machines.The security flaw (tracked as CVE-2024-31497) impacts multiple versions of XenCenter for Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU1 LTSR, which bundle and use PuTTY to make SSH connections from XenCenter to guest VMs when clicking the "Open SSH Console" button.Citrix says that the PuTTY third-party component has been removed starting with XenCenter 8.2.6, and any versions after 8.2.7 will no longer include it. >> Full Article <<

87% of DDoS Attacks Targeted Windows OS Devices in 2023

PRESS RELEASE Singapore, 8th May, 2024 - New data from Nexusguard’s DDoS Statistical Trends Report 2024 reveals bad actors are shifting DDoS tactics. Computers and servers became the primary target of attacks, making up 92% of DDoS attempts, compared to only 68% in the previous year. Attacks are also becoming shorter and less frequent, but more powerful. While the overall count in attack frequency dropped 55% in 2023, the size of attacks grew 233%.Attacks lasting 90 minutes increased by 22%. This attack duration now makes up 81% of all DDoS attacks, while the most prolonged attacks spanning over 1200+ minutes saw a steep 95% reduction. “The modus operandi of cyber criminals is to cause maximum disruption with minimal effort,” says Donny Chong. “Modern cybersecurity tools have become so advanced, it’s compelling bad actors to look for attack opportunities where the shortest disruption wreaks the most havoc. This is likely why we’re seeing more high-profile DDoS attacks on governments a

Advice to Prevent Phish Tests from Overwhelming Help Desk

Every time we push a phish test our help desk is inundated with tickets from clients “helpfully” informing us that they discovered a phishing email in their inbox.We’ve tried distributing the phish test over the course of a month to keep volume down, but that just spreads out the tickets.We have a few ideas we’re kicking around, but wondering if others have good strategies already in place. Thanks!

Can we audit device per sites if Web Threat Shield extension for Browser is enabled or disabled?

Hi Webroot Team, Newbie here. Can we audit device per sites if Web Threat Shield extension for Browser is enabled or disabled? Also, if the Web Threat Shield extension is disabled from a device with Webroot client program, does it mean that if the User accessed a malicious site, Webroot would not block it? Thank you.

Is Webroot VPN going away?

Hi All,Curious if Webroot VPN is going away now that SaferVPN is being decommissioned as of Dec 15th, 2023. If readers didn’t know, Webroot VPN is technically NOT an in house product, but rather a reskinned/rebranded version of SaferVPN, but added some of their BrightCloud tech to it. I received a notice today that SaferVPN is recommending IPVanish and the website is saying they’ve joined with IPVanish. So does this mean, the Webroot VPN will be changing their product to update it’s look and feel of IPVanish? CuriousRegardsJohn H

Deprecation of old Endpoint Management Console

Good day,I’m curious if anybody can shed any insight on the deprecation of the old Endpoint Protection Console and what we are to expect in terms of changes as of November 28th? I have reviewed training videos and understand where to perform most functions using the new console and entities.Please understand that we have hundreds of a sites listed in our consoles and I have reviewed the videos.Currently if I wish to go to the console and perform work on a site, I can go to the Sites list and I can search and find the site wether that is ABC company or XYZ, then I can click the little pop out or go to Endpoint Protection and click the “Go to Endpoint Protection Console” and I can access the old console.So what happens when the existing console is deprecated? will this button go away? Will there be a new button that will jump us to the specific site in Entities?There are also some logs areas that I’m suspect will no longer be available.Currently I can see which users accessed a site in

Where is the new Console Documented? (6.x version)

I seem to be missing something. I assume I’m just blind.Where in the documentation is the new Business Admin Console documented? We’re now on version 6.7, yet all I can find is documentation for the traditional console.

Universal syslog connector: Run as Service

I was really excited to see this Application, we use Rapid7 and there was no good way to get this data into IDR. My excitement was quickly diminished immediately after I installed this software. Why create a software that is to redirect logs, and in this case to a SIEM and not make it run as a service? I tested it, right after I set it up, I monitored the service running and as soon as I logged off my admin account the service stopped and I can only assume the logging stopped as well. Is there anyway to run this as a service? I really don’t need to see the Scrolling CLI, that feature is pretty much pointless.
