Air Force Investigating ‘Privacy Issue’ with Microsoft SharePoint The Air Force is investigating a potential exposure of service members’ personal data through Microsoft SharePoint, officials say.

They both make the same assumptions, and those assumptions are the core message of the shared marketing effort they both represent.

OK, I have just updated my #sharepoint #spfx #sppnp resources list and put it on my main website: www.ali.id.au/resources/sh...

I have also updated the SharePoint wikipedia page. :)

Target-rich environment: Why Microsoft 365 has become the biggest risk Microsoft 365's dominance and tight integration makes it a massive target in today's cyber landscape. Its tight integration expands the attack surface and amplifies risk. Learn from Acronis TRU why backup blind spots & lateral movement risks demand stronger defenses.

This Microsoft Entra ID Vulnerability Could Have Caused a Digital Catastrophe A pair of flaws in Microsoft's Entra ID identity and access management system could have allowed an attacker to gain access to virtually all Azure customer accounts.

NEW: A pair of vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Entra ID system could have allowed an attacker to gain access to virtually EVERY Azure account. Fortunately, they were patched before a malicious actor found them. @mattburgess1.bsky.social + @lhn.bsky.social report: www.wired.com/story/micros...

Microsoft's communication so far about the biggest Entra ID (Azure AD) vulnerability ever discovered. (CVE-2025-55241)

Graph from NetBlocks showing the network connectivity in Iraq, from August 30, 2025, to September 06, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Pakistan's connectivity and the yellow line representing India's connectivity remains stable at around 100% throughout most of the time period, with a sharp drop on the evening of September 5 for India, and a drop on early the morning on September 6 for Pakistan. The drops in connectivity align with internet disruptions due to subsea cable cuts. The chart has a dark background and connectivity lines for each country are color-coded. Pakistan (85% / 94%), India (41% / 90%)

⚠️ Confirmed: A series of subsea cable outages in the Red Sea has degraded internet connectivity in multiple countries including #Pakistan and #India; the incident is attributed to failures affecting the SMW4 and IMEWE cable systems near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 📉

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!

We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.

I think this might be my favorite computer fact

Chart showing instances of wild animals using a hamster wheel left out in the wild, with visits dominated by wild mice, followed by slugs, rats, shrews and a few frogs and snails.

In 2014 Dutch scientists left a hamster wheel outside, to see if wild animals would use it like their domesticated counterparts.

The answer: hell yes! 734 visits from wild mice - plus rats, shrews, slugs ("running" being subjective here) & even frogs and snails.

The apparent reason: fun. Just fun.

Oh… and the latency 🫠

Great job everyone

It's kinda been raised, but its nuts that (according to Mandiant/M-Trends) in 2025:

- vulnerabilities/exploits are the most frequently observed initial vector;

- the top 4 exploited vulns belong to security vendors.

What are we doing here? 🤯😱

Screenshot of a paragraph of an article from Wired magazine In a GitHub ticket viewed by WIRED, Lavingia also suggested abandoning Drupal, a content management system (CMS) that the VA uses for publishing updates and information about the agency and the services it provides on VA facility websites. "I think we should consider removing Drupal as part of our workflow, and all content should just live in the codebase," he wrote.

If you wanted to destroy something, having all the content live in the code would be a good way to do it
