The bearer of bad news again : For those of you with Bluetooth devices (ie pretty much everyone!) please note the risk of remote malware infection/device hijack/data theft using Blueborne (some kind of weird homage to 2 Sqn, RAF Regt?) which is a vulnerability in the underlying protocol stack in Bluetooth - pretty serious as it affects billions of devices worldwide including smart TVs, smart watches, smart TV's, Bluetooth speakers, Bluetooth car audio systems, etc, etc, etc.... Check

for more details re updates for Apple, Microsoft, Android, Linux - most major items addressed but many Internet of Things (IoT) things (smart fridge anyone?) have built-in Linux appliances which may not be able to be updated...Best advice, if you can, turn Bluetooth off when not actually in beneficial use. 💀

More than two million people who downloaded security software CCleaner have been infected by malware on their computers, its developers have confirmed.
Piriform, the company behind the software, said on its website that a new version of the app had been tampered with before being released.
The malicious code was added to the legitimate code for CCleaner, which allows users to wipe unwanted files from their hard-drives, and could have allowed hackers to take over the devices of 2.27 million people.
