Microsoft has confirmed that some Windows 11 devices experience Wi-Fi connectivity issues after installing recent cumulative updates. "Microsoft has received reports of an issue in which some Wi-Fi adapters might not connect to some networks after installing KB5032288," Redmond said in a new update to the Windows release health hub.
Four vulnerabilities, one of which is rated critical, have been discovered in the Perforce Helix Core Server, a source code management platform widely used by the gaming, government, military, and technology sectors. The four flaws discovered by Microsoft mainly involve denial of service issues, with the most severe allowing arbitrary remote code execution as LocalSystem by unauthenticated attackers.
Microsoft has released a new troubleshooter tool to fix an issue where the HP Smart app would automatically install on Windows after renaming all printers to HP LaserJet M101-M106. Customers have reported experiencing this issue on various online social networks and Microsoft's own community website since late November. Over the weekend, the company released a Microsoft Printer Metadata Troubleshooter Tool to help admins and users address this printing issue.
After announcing a gradual elimination of third-party printer drivers on Windows earlier this year, Microsoft has now unveiled its plan for enhancing security by introducting Windows Protected Print Mode. For years, the Windows print system has been a key target for attackers because the Windows Print Spooler service/process has high privileges that can be exploited to execute malicious files.
Microsoft announced a new Windows Protected Print Mode, introducing significant security enhancements to the Windows print system. "WPP builds on the existing IPP print stack where only Mopria certified printers are supported, and disables the ability to load third-party drivers. By doing this, we can make meaningful improvements to print security in Windows that otherwise could not happen," said Johnathan Norman, Microsoft Offensive Research & Security Engineering principal engineer manager.

Microsoft has taken down US-based infrastructure and websites used by a cybercrime group to sell fraudulent online accounts to other crooks including Scattered Spider, the infamous social-engineering and extortion crew that hacked two Las Vegas casinos over the summer. The gang, Storm-1152, is the "Number one seller and creator of fraudulent Microsoft accounts" and has listed for sale 750 million of these, according to Amy Hogan-Burney, Microsoft's associate general counsel for cybersecurity policy and protection.
Microsoft disrupted an alleged threat actor group that built viable cybercrime-as-a-service businesses. Dubbed Storm-1152 by Microsoft, the group bilked enterprises and consumers globally out of millions of dollars.
Microsoft on Wednesday said it obtained a court order to seize infrastructure set up by a group called Storm-1152 that peddled roughly 750 million fraudulent Microsoft accounts and tools through a...
