The proposal to use public data from European users, such as posts, comments, and interactions with Meta AI, to train its AI models has been revived by Meta. The corporation says its strategy complies with GDPR regulations, but it halted this project last year because of EU regulatory worries. EU users will be notified about the new policy and given the option to opt out using a form. Meta guarantees that data and private messages from users younger than 18 will not be used for training. If users are concerned, privacy experts advise them to opt out because it is impossible to erase data once it has been put into large language models LLMs. The action is in line with Google and OpenAIs similar AI training methodologies.

Apple fixed two zeroday vulnerabilities that were being regularly used by hackers with government support by releasing iOS 18.4.1 and macOS Sequoia 15

Apple fixed two zeroday vulnerabilities that were being regularly used by hackers with government support by releasing iOS 18.4.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.4.1. The vulnerabilities in RPAC and CoreAudio enabled hackers to circumvent Pointer Authentication, a crucial security measure that guards against memorybased attacks, and run malicious code across media files. Apple reacted quickly after Googles Threat Analysis Group TAG helped identify these vulnerabilities. Although it is still unknown how many customers were impacted, Apple acknowledged that the attacks were part of highly advanced cyber campaigns that specifically targeted individuals. It is highly recommended that users upgrade their devices right away to reduce security threats and stop future attacks. This report highlights the continuous fight against sophisticated cyberthreats that target wellknown people and institutions. Read More..

The disruption lasted from 255 PM ET to 412 PM ET, affecting Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone, Zoom Contact Centre, and the Zoom website. Zoom confirmed that the issue was not due to a security failure or cyberattack but rather a registry error.

Microsoft has said that because of security concerns, ActiveX would be banned by default in Microsoft 365 as of April 2025. When ActiveX was first released in 1996, it allowed for rich interactivity but also presented serious security issues, such as vulnerabilities for remote code execution. There are no longer any prompts to enable ActiveX in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Visio. Through Group Policy or cloud policy, organisations can selectively reenable ActiveX however, users without administrator access cannot see this choice. Given that some customers might not be satisfied with the move, Microsoft is gathering input via File > Feedback in any Microsoft 365 application. The update attempts to lower the chance of malware assaults and improve security. Read More..
