That April Windows update you skipped? Hackers are exploiting it now

PCWorld

PCWorld reports that CISA has flagged four actively exploited security vulnerabilities affecting Windows, VMware vCenter, Microsoft SharePoint, and Apple macOS systems. Critical flaws carry severity scores as high as 9.8 out of 10, with attackers using them to deploy ransomware, install Monero mining malware, and bypass authentication entirely. Users and administrators are urged to apply available patches immediately, including recent Windows, SharePoint, VMware, and macOS updates, to avoid becoming targets. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a warning about four security vulnerabilities that are being exploited by attackers in the wild. CISA has added the vulnerabilities to its catalog of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) . Microsoft Windows and SharePoint, VMware vCenter, and Apple macOS are affected. Inclusion in the KEV catalog sends an important signal: CISA doesn't simply list every known vulnerability out there, but only those for which there is concrete evidence of active exploitation by attackers. The agency points out that such vulnerabilities are among the most commonly used attack vectors and pose a significant risk.

Child safety experts are skeptical of OpenAI's ChatGPT for Teens

Engadget

On Tuesday, OpenAI released ChatGPT for Teens, an age-gated version of its chatbot designed for young users. The company first announced it was working on a system to automatically identify teens and restrict their usage of ChatGPT last September, following the death of 16-year-old Adam Raine, who, as alleged in a lawsuit filed by his parents, took his own life after ChatGPT acted as an enabler. "There's no need for a teen to create a new account or change anything; if we predict you're under 18, or you've told us so, this becomes your default experience," Lauren Jonas, OpenAI's head of youth and families, told Engadget. Make no mistake, kids are already using ChatGPT at an incredible scale. At the start of last year, the Pew Research Center found about a quarter of US teens were using the chatbot for their schoolwork.

eMeet SmartCam C960 Ultra webcam review: Almost perfect

PCWorld

Only the surprisingly bad mics hold back the eMeet SmartCam C960 Ultra 4K webcam from what could have been a perfect score. The eMeet C960 Ultra 4K webcam is a well-constructed, affordable, 4K autofocus camera with terrific image quality. However, the input mics are truly bad. It's hard to find anything to dislike about the eMeet C960 Ultra 4K autofocus webcam, which continues the industry's trend to provide 4K resolution at ever-lower prices. The key here is the webcam's 1/1.5-inch sensor, unusually large for the price range, which helps the camera excel in low-light situations.
