iPhone devices are at risk, Apple has issued an important warning

If you have an iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you should update your device as soon as possible because Apple has released a fix for two Zero Day vulnerabilities that hackers can use to steal your personal information.

iPhone devices are at risk, Apple has issued an important warning

That said, both questions are about the WebKit "engine" used by Safari on all platforms. iOS, iPadOS and macOS are at risk, meaning there is a potentially wide range of devices that could be attacked.

One problem is “the processing of Internet content where sensitive information may be exposed. Another problem is that there is a risk of a hacker injecting malicious code because there is a memory error.

The fixes are available in iOS 17.1.2, iPadOS 17.1.2, and macOS 14.1.2, as well as Safari 17.1.2 for macOS Monterey and macOS Ventura operating systems.

To download the update if you have an iPhone, go to: Settings->General->Software Update, and it should say iOS 17.1.2 available.

Apple says the following models are affected:

  •  iPhone XS and later models
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2nd generation and later, iPad Pro 10.5-inch, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 6th generation and later, as and iPad mini 5th generation and later.
  • macOS Monterey, macOS Ventura, and macOS Sonoma

Wood energy

Wood is considered humankind’s very first source of energy. Today it is still the most important single source of renewable energy providing about 6 percent of the global total primary energy supply. More than two billion people depend on wood energy for cooking and/or heating, particularly in households in developing countries. It represents the only domestically available and affordable source of energy. Private households’ cooking and heating with woodfuels represents one third of the global renewable energy consumption, making wood the most decentralized energy in the world. Woodfuels arise from multiple sources including forests, other wooded land and trees outside forests, co-products from wood processing, post-consumer recovered wood and processed wood-based fuels. Wood energy is also an important emergency backup fuel. Societies at any socio-economic level will switch easily back to wood energy when encountering economic difficulties, natura...

Heating oil

Heating oil is any petroleum product or other oil used for heating; a fuel oil. Most commonly, it refers to low viscosity grades of fuel oil used for furnaces or boilers use for home heating and in other buildings. Home heating oil is often abbreviated as HHO. Most heating oil products are chemically very similar to diesel fuel used as motor fuel; motor fuel is typically subject to higher fuel taxes. Many countries add fuel dyes to heating oil, allowing law enforcement to check if a driver is evading fuel taxes. Since 2002, Solvent Yellow 124 has been added as a "Euromarker" in the European Union; untaxed diesel is known as "red diesel" in the United Kingdom. Heating oil is commonly delivered by tank truck to residential, commercial and municipal buildings and stored in above-ground storage tanks ("ASTs") located in the basements, garages,...

Chinese firms turn away delisting as U.S. review guard dog gets full examination access

 The U.S. bookkeeping guard dog on Thursday said it has full admittance to review and explore firms in China unexpectedly, eliminating the gamble that around 200 Chinese organizations could be started off U.S. stock trades. The assertion from the Public Organization Bookkeeping Oversight Board (PCAOB) marks a triumph for U.S. controllers and a help for Chinese firms, including Alibaba, confronting delisting in the midst of rough relations between the world's biggest economies. Washington and Beijing have been secured in a warmed exchange and innovation war. "Without precedent for history, we can perform full and exhaustive examinations and examinations to uncover expected issues and consider firms responsible to fix them," said PCAOB Seat Erica Williams. "This falls into the classification of a game changing perspective on Chinese organizations in light of the fact that the danger of their delisting appears to have been dispensed with," said Craftsmanship Hogan,...
