It’s normal to find at least one personal computer in every home these days. We owe this to Microsoft, a company launched on April 4, 1975, by Bill Gates and Paul Allen.

50 years have passed since then; the company has adapted to new market demands and aligned itself with the challenges posed by artificial intelligence today.

The Windows operating system is one of its flagships; It appeared 10 years after the company’s launch, and over the years it has positioned itself as a leader in the segment with updates that currently extend to Windows 11.

Microsoft has expanded its commercial presence with the acquisition of services, social networks, accessory companies such as controllers and chips, and launched its own search engine called Bing.

In 2019, it established an alliance with OpenAI that has allowed it to advance toward a language model that would usher in the era of generative AI. Then came Copilot, Microsoft’s assistant, and Copilot+ PC.

The company is reinventing and adapting to millions of users worldwide increasingly efficient, secure, and user-friendly tools.

Given the vulnerability detected in the iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and MacOS Monterey operating systems, the technology giant Apple has released two patches that help reduce attacks on users.

According to statements to the media and the report on its Support page, Apple detected “a vulnerability present in the kernel, the core of the operating system,” which allows an application to “execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.”

The company identified a first vulnerability as CVE-2022-32894, which has caused conflicts in iOS 15, iPadOS 15 and MacOS Monterey systems. The second, called CVE-2022-32893, was found in WebKit, Safari’s browser engine.

Following the detection of these cybersecurity cases, Apple released the MacOS Monterey 12.5.1 and iOS/iPadOS 15.6.1 patches, which urges users to install as soon as possible on iPhone 6s and later models, as well as on all iPad Pro, on iPad Air 2 and later models.

These security patches should also be installed on iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch 7th generation.

Twitter launched a new feature that will allow its users to chronologically pin direct messages to the top of their inbox. It allows them to keep important conversations from one chat to a particular chat and generating a frenzy among users.

The new feature will make it easier to keep your conversations in order. However, it only allows you to pin six messages, a quite acceptable number for the frequent user.

Anchoring Twitter messages in operating systems

The new function of the instant messaging social network will be available for Android and iOS operating systems, and users from the web will also be able to pin some chats to the top. Although the operation will be different for each application.

• For the web. When you need to use the function from the web, it is necessary to “click on messages”, once in the section, the user will select the important conversations and then move the “cursor over it until the three dots appear in the upper right corner”, clicking on those three points and select the option “pin conversation”.
• iOS and Android. It is necessary to go to the messages and touch the letter-shaped icon in the lower right corner. Then it is necessary to slide the messages to the right to see the pin icon or simply press for a few seconds the conversation and “select the option to pin a message.”

Microsoft continues to work on solving the vulnerabilities that have recently affected the operating system for Microsoft Exchange Server servers. The company has ensured that 92 % of the vulnerable IP addresses have already been updated, although it has warned about the different types of threats.

After discovering four vulnerabilities in Microsoft Exchange, affecting the 2016 and 2019 versions in particular, the company has released several update patches.

Among its latest efforts, last week the American company launched a new tool that solves problems with a single click, aimed at companies without an IT department, as well as the incorporation of these mechanisms in Windows’ standard antivirus, Microsoft Defender.

These solutions are spreading more and more and currently 92% of IP addresses considered vulnerable have already solved the problem, as reported by Microsoft in a statement.

Exchange security flaws, exploited by cybercriminals such as the Chinese Hafnium hackers, have been used to carry out different types of attacks, among which Microsoft has highlighted cryptocurrency miners and ransomware.
