Just after announcing iOS 12 at WWDC 2018, Apple is announcing a whole bunch of updates for its macOS platform with macOS Mojave. First of all, and most obviously Apple is finally implementing a dark mode on in this release. Mac users will now be able to make use of a feature Windows 10 users have enjoyed for nearly two years now, and swap their blinding white UI for a dark one. It isn’t simply the system elements like the dock and window chrome that are going dark, Apple’s native apps now plug into the dark theme as well as apps which are built with the latest MacOS APIs in mind. Unlike Windows, it seems users of Apple software will see the dark theme more widespread than Windows apps are. Apple is also implementing a new feature called stacks on the desktop. Stacks is an easy way to collate files of the same file type you have scattered around on your desktop. Should you have PDFs all over your desktop, Apple will collect all these into a  neat and organized PDF stack.  While many power users tend to have their desktops neatly organized, some users treat their desktop as a virtual dumping ground. Stacks helps bring some easy sanity for those users who can’t be bothered to be organized but would benefit regardless. Learn more by visiting OUR FORUM.
 

Apple today announced iOS 12, the first major update for its iPhones, iPads, and iPods this ear. iOS 12 was rumored to be an update focused on refinement, and so far, Apple hasn’t made any big changes to the interface but has made several small changes to how things work in iOS. With iOS 13, your phone will get faster. Apple says that software will focus on optimizing performance. The firm is “doubling down on performance”, apps will launch 40percent faster, the camera will open 70 percent faster and so on. This update isn’t slowing down your iPhone, should Apple’s framing prove accurate. It’ll speed it up and improve the experience for the better, Not that Apple needs much help there, 95% of users are satisfied with iOS 11 at the moment according to Apple’s metrics. This optimization extends beyond basic performance. Take Augmented Reality, Apple isn’t overhauling its AR system or anything, the firm is simply refining how it works in the release. There’ll be improved face tracking, more realistic experiencing, and persistent experiences among others.For more visit OUR FORUM.

A vulnerability exists in the Windows operating system's JScript component that can allow an attacker to execute malicious code on a user's computer. Responsible for discovering this bug is Dmitri Kaslov of Telspace Systems, who passed it along to Trend Micro's Zero-Day Initiative (ZDI), a project that intermediates the vulnerability disclosure process between independent researchers and larger companies. ZDI experts reported the issue to Microsoft back in January, but Microsoft has yet to release a patch for this vulnerability. Yesterday, ZDI published a summary containing light technical details about the bug. JScript bug leads to RCE
According to this summary, the vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute malicious code on users' PCs. Because the vulnerability affects the JScript component (Microsoft custom implementation of JavaScript), the only condition is that the attacker must trick the user into accessing a malicious web page, or download and open a malicious JS file on the system (typically executed via the Windows Script Host —wscript.exe).... read more on our Forum
