A notorious Iranian hacking crew is targeting industrial control systems
Iran’s APT33 may be exploring cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.
Iranian hackers have carried out some of the most disruptive acts of digital sabotage of the last decade, wiping entire computer networks in waves of cyberattacks across the Middle East and occasionally even the US. But now one of Iran's most active hacker groups appears to have shifted focus. Rather than just standard IT networks, they're targeting the physical control systems used in electric utilities, manufacturing, and oil refineries. At the CyberwarCon conference in Arlington, Virginia, on Thursday, Microsoft security researcher Ned Moran plans to present new findings from the company's threat intelligence group that show a shift in the activity of the Iranian hacker group APT33, also known by the names Holmium, Refined Kitten, or Elfin. Microsoft has watched the group carry out so-called password-spraying attacks over the past year that try just a few common passwords across user accounts at tens of thousands of organizations. That's generally considered a crude and indiscriminate form of hacking. But over the last two months, Microsoft says APT33 has significantly narrowed its password spraying to around 2,000 organizations per month, while increasing the number of accounts targeted at each of those organizations almost tenfold on average. -

Yep, it’s built into so many printers today. Just goes to show that you can’t rely on Google proucts

Exactly. This is why I'll never use or recommend G Suite. Can't trust that it's a long term solution.

Same here.

Oh, another thing that is dead is the google message security (spam filter) for $1 / user / month.
I have a couple clients on it that were originally Postini. Google bought that and moved them to this.
But I logged in to add a user and was shown that we were on some grace period that expires on Dec 13 for GSuite.
WTF

AT&T Opens Pre-Orders for Its First Consumer 5G Phone
AT&T has started selling the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, but it doesn't support AT&T's millimeter-wave 5G network, so you should wait for the Galaxy S11.
The carrier;s first consumer 5G phone, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, is available for pre-order starting today for $1,299.99. But you shouldn't buy it, because although AT&T just announced a much broader rollout of 5G, the Note 10+ can't deliver the super-speedy 5G performance you've been hearing about. The Note 10+ 5G supports AT&T's low-band 5G network, which will be launching in Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rochester, and San Diego in the next few weeks, and in Birmingham, Boston, Bridgeport, Buffalo, Las Vegas, Louisville, Milwaukee, New York, San Francisco, and San Jose by Febuary 2020. It doesn't support AT&T's millimeter-wave (mmWave) 5G network, which is currently available only to business customers in parts of 21 cities. I've tested it and found it to be fast but with very limited coverage. -

It also might get Nvidia off of Linus Torvalds s-list.

Not sure that’s true. I recall some vendor at SW a year or two ago... not sure it was cloud based though.

Papercut is pretty standard from my experience. But I don't remember if that used Google print or not.

Papercut provides a cloud printing service?

Kind of. It has a "driver-less" and Web-based printing GUI. You upload a file to Papercuts and it prints to the printer you selected.
