Microsoft Opens Windows Update to 3rd-Party Apps

1 week ago | securityboulevard.com | Richi Jennings

Security fixes and other updates will be “orchestrated” by Redmond’s own update tool. Windows Update keeps Windows updated (well, duh). It can also update some “other Microsoft products,” if you let it. Soon, it’ll be able to do the same for other companies’ apps. But why must Microsoft misuse the concept of “orchestration” to describe it? Messy musical metaphors aside, this seems like a good idea. In today’s SB Blogwatch, we wave a baton.

Factoring big primes now seems much, much easier for quantum computers than we thought even a few years ago. Of course, the Devil is in the details. In today’s SB Blogwatch, we never shy away from detail. Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment.
Signal Gives Microsoft a Clear Signal: Do NOT Recall This

2 weeks ago | securityboulevard.com | Richi Jennings

Recall, Microsoft’s “magical” AI tool that watches everything you do, is back. But the team behind private messaging app Signal aren’t happy about it—they’ve added a feature to stop Recall taking screenshots of your chats. As you might recall, Recall was initially dubbed a “privacy disaster,” before being “delayed indefinitely.” But Microsoft tweaked and relaunched it—and in today’s SB Blogwatch, people aren’t entirely happy about that.
