As individuals move from Windows to macOS, they frequently find themselves struggling with the limited window management capabilities of the macOS Dock. The frustrations arise from the Dock’s grouping of windows from the same application, which can make distinguishing different windows cumbersome and time-consuming. uBar offers a way out of this conundrum, presenting a familiar taskbar experience that mirrors the
The escalating threat of infostealer malware has captured the attention of cybersecurity experts and users alike, with nearly 26 million devices compromised between 2023 and 2024. This alarming trend is further compounded by the leakage of over 2 million unique bank card details, underscoring the severity of financial risks posed by such infections. Infostealers, which are malicious software explicitly designed
In an era of heightened cybersecurity threats, organizations must increasingly devise robust defenses against vulnerabilities such as CVE-2018-8639 to protect sensitive data and maintain operational integrity. Discovered in Microsoft’s Win32k component, the CVE-2018-8639 vulnerability remains a formidable risk despite patches issued by Microsoft. This security flaw allows authenticated local attackers to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode, posing significant dangers,
Despite its transformative potential in IT operations, the adoption of eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) has been slower than expected. eBPF offers advanced monitoring, observation, and security capabilities by allowing the execution of custom programs within the Linux kernel. This technology boasts the capability to revolutionize the way IT operations teams monitor and secure their systems, yet its uptake has
Cybersecurity researchers at Check Point Research (CPR) have uncovered a sophisticated and large-scale cyber campaign that leverages vulnerabilities in a Windows driver to disable security protections, evade detection, and deploy malicious payloads. This campaign represents a significant threat to cybersecurity protocols and defenses, demonstrating the attackers’ ability to manipulate legacy software to bypass modern security mechanisms effectively. Notably, this attack
In a significant development for the open-source community, LibreOffice has patched a critical security vulnerability that posed a serious risk of remote code execution (RCE) attacks. The flaw, identified as CVE-2025-0514, affected LibreOffice versions 24.8 through 24.8.4 on Windows systems. Rated 7.2 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) version 4.0 scale, this vulnerability allowed malicious actors to craft manipulated
Windows 11 users are facing new problems with the latest update, KB5051987, as it seems to be causing significant issues with File Explorer. This update is part of a series of updates aimed at improving security, but it appears to be the source of much frustration for users.

In our tech-driven age, many find themselves choosing between the familiarity of Windows and the versatility of Linux. Historically, switching entirely from Windows to Linux was advised, but there’s a more practical middle ground. By opting for a dual-boot system or using a virtual machine (VM), users can enjoy the advantages of both systems on one computer. This method prevents
In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, a newly identified vulnerability in Xerox VersaLink C7025 multifunction printers (MFPs) has raised significant concerns. These vulnerabilities, found in firmware version 57.69.91 and earlier, can allow attackers to capture user credentials through a method known as pass-back attacks. This article delves into the implications of these vulnerabilities for organizational security, particularly in Windows
An alarming wave of sophisticated cyber attacks has prompted urgent calls for smartphone users, including both iPhone and Android users, to update their devices immediately. This critical call to action stems from specific vulnerabilities identified by Google and Apple, leading to immediate security updates. Adding to the concern is a three-week mandated deadline set by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
A new variant of the insidious Snake Keylogger malware has emerged, targeting Windows users in several countries with its highly sophisticated tactics. This malicious software has been reported in countries including China, Turkey, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Spain. The alarming scale of this latest threat is evidenced by the more than 280 million attempted infections that have been blocked globally since
As cyber threats continue to evolve and target vulnerabilities in widely-used software, Microsoft’s February 2025 Patch comes at a critical time. The update is designed to address a total of 57 vulnerabilities, with three classified as critical, all of which have the potential to cause significant harm if left unpatched. Despite having fewer vulnerabilities compared to January’s massive update, the
