  • Exim email server ignored ZDI's responsible disclosure of critical remote code execution flaws for over a year, putting millions of servers at risk.

  • Malicious ads are appearing in Bing Chat responses, promoting fake sites distributing malware.

  • Windows 11 now natively supports passkeys, though browser support may make this redundant.

  • Researchers exploit WiFi beamforming side-channel to potentially reveal keystrokes, but practicality is limited.

  • The ECH TLS extension encrypts the ClientHello packet to hide SNI data.

  • Exim disclosure timeline and impact on millions of vulnerable servers.

  • Bing chat ads mimic search result malvertising risks amplified by chatbot trust.
