Good Morning. Some interesting industry news for you here, as it seems Apex Legends has something of a hacker problem right now that has even messed up the Global Series esport tournament. Note: ARTICLE UPDATED.
Not the first time this has happened, but recently the Snap store from Canonical hosted a scam bitcoin app that claimed to be "Exodus wallet" that caused a user to lose money.
Well, here's another reminder to keep your PC up to date. Despite Linux being known for security, it's not perfect (no software is) and researchers at Qualys have discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the GNU C Library.
No one is safe from data breaches, and at times it won't even be the company you've directly interacted and purchased from but their partners, like what recently happened to Framework.
Here's another reminder that checking regularly for updates is always a good thing, because there's new releases available for both the X.Org X and Xwayland due to multiple reported security issues.
NVIDIA today launched four new stable Linux graphics drivers, yes four. 545.29.02 is the bigger one with all the new stuff, but they also launched 535.129.03, 525.147.05 and 470.223.02 due to newly disclosed security issues.
Canonical are currently dealing with a security incident with the Snap store, after users noticed multiple fake apps were uploaded so temporary limits have been put in place.
One security issue I somehow missed back in July was Zenbleed, an issue with AMD CPUs that's getting patched up in the Linux kernel and now the Steam Deck is getting a kernel fix for it too.
Uh oh! Another rather serious security flaw has been found in Intel CPUs named Downfall, so here's a bit of info on it. Additionally, AMD are also dealing with INCEPTION.
Here we are again. NVIDIA has today sent out a security bulletin to inform users on Linux and Windows to ensure your GPU drivers are up to date due to freshly revealed security problems.
Is nothing sacred any more? Gosh, there's vulnerabilities everywhere. Just when you thought you were safe after updating to protect your CPU, now there's this. Thought RAM vendors had fixed Rowhammer from 2014? Think again, it's back with Half-Double.
Spectre is one in a list of critical vulnerabilities in modern processors that was discovered over the last few years, and it seems it's not been solved yet.
