Apple today announced iOS 12, the first major update for its iPhones, iPads, and iPods this ear. iOS 12 was rumored to be an update focused on refinement, and so far, Apple hasn’t made any big changes to the interface but has made several small changes to how things work in iOS. With iOS 13, your phone will get faster. Apple says that software will focus on optimizing performance. The firm is “doubling down on performance”, apps will launch 40percent faster, the camera will open 70 percent faster and so on. This update isn’t slowing down your iPhone, should Apple’s framing prove accurate. It’ll speed it up and improve the experience for the better, Not that Apple needs much help there, 95% of users are satisfied with iOS 11 at the moment according to Apple’s metrics. This optimization extends beyond basic performance. Take Augmented Reality, Apple isn’t overhauling its AR system or anything, the firm is simply refining how it works in the release. There’ll be improved face tracking, more realistic experiencing, and persistent experiences among others.For more visit OUR FORUM.

A vulnerability exists in the Windows operating system's JScript component that can allow an attacker to execute malicious code on a user's computer. Responsible for discovering this bug is Dmitri Kaslov of Telspace Systems, who passed it along to Trend Micro's Zero-Day Initiative (ZDI), a project that intermediates the vulnerability disclosure process between independent researchers and larger companies. ZDI experts reported the issue to Microsoft back in January, but Microsoft has yet to release a patch for this vulnerability. Yesterday, ZDI published a summary containing light technical details about the bug. JScript bug leads to RCE
According to this summary, the vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute malicious code on users' PCs. Because the vulnerability affects the JScript component (Microsoft custom implementation of JavaScript), the only condition is that the attacker must trick the user into accessing a malicious web page, or download and open a malicious JS file on the system (typically executed via the Windows Script Host —wscript.exe).... read more on our Forum

Apple has released security updates this week for seven products —macOS, iOS, watchOS, iTunes for Windows, tvOS, iCloud for Windows, and Safari. Out of all the vulnerabilities patched this week, two stands out, mainly because they affect the kernels of macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS alike. Two vulnerabilities stand out. The vulnerabilities are CVE-2018-4241 and CVE-2018-4243, both discovered by Google security engineer Ian Beer. Neither Beer nor Apple has released expansive details about these two bugs. Both issues are buffer overflows in the kernel code that can lead to an attacker executing malicious code within the context of the kernel, giving him full access to a device. But these are all the details currently available. In fact, Apple is currently still hiding the changelog of the iOS, watchOS, and tvOS security patches in an attempt to allow users to update without giving attackers a clue to what's hiding inside. Patches with links are posted on OUR FORUM.
