ExectOS is a preemptive, reentrant multitasking operating system that implements the XT architecture which derives from NT™ architecture. Is this The Year of ExectOS?

The NT architecture is unmitigated bullshit.
It itself was sort of inspired by VAX/VMS if memory serves, and to that degree that it is this is 1970s architecture.
Look, I dev windows. There's a lot to like about it, but for god sake, don't keep it going.
Microkernels are where its at. A message passing core is fundamental to making fully connectible operating systems. Something like MachOS or QNX.
Why not refine an OS around POSIX? What the hell is so bad about POSIX? Apple stuff does fine with it.
It's old, but it has withstood the test of time across far more platforms than NT ever has.
Maybe I'm just crotchety, but NT like x86 needs to die, not have its shelf life extended.

If you are not using random, computer-generated passwords, or one of the best password generators, chances are your logins can be cracked within an hour, research has warned. So don't bother using a hard one - they'll never expect you to use an easy one!

Other bad news.
They were able to compile a list of "top passwords" in the first place, which means someone is sharing or storing them clear text or at least reversible.
Whoops.

The vulnerability could let hackers gain access to your PC on public Wi-Fi networks. WiFi? More like WiFuuuuuuuuu
It does read like they'd have to be on the same router (which would be the case in a coffee shop etc. anyway)
According to the CVSS metric, the attack vector is adjacent (AV:A). What does that mean for this vulnerability?
Exploiting this vulnerability requires an attacker to be within proximity of the target system to send and receive radio transmissions.

A researcher has found a bug that allows anyone to impersonate Microsoft corporate email accounts, making phishing attempts look credible and more likely to trick their targets. Good thing they never email anyone
"The bug, according to Kokorin, only works when sending the email to Outlook accounts." <-- Oh, phew. Good thing no one uses those.
/sigh... Microsoft...

Did something change? I was of the impression you could forge email headers all you wanted so long as you controlled the SMTP sending the mail?
I've sent prank mail from Gates and such. From .NET it was as simple as changing the FROM: to whatever you want.

|

I suspect this bug allows you to spoof the entire header, including the routing and source mail server information. Changing the "FROM" information doesn't change the source email server information.
