Security audit raises severe warnings on Chinese smartphone models

The audit red-flagged Xiaomi and Huawei phones but gave OnePlus a pass.
The Lithuanian National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) recently published a security assessment of three recent-model Chinese-made smartphones—Huawei's P40 5G, Xiaomi's Mi 10T 5G, and OnePlus' 8T 5G. Sufficiently determined US shoppers can find the P40 5G on Amazon and the Mi 10T 5G on Walmart.com—but we will not be providing direct links to those phones, given the results of the NCSC's security audit. The Xiaomi phone includes software modules specifically designed to leak data to Chinese authorities and to censor media related to topics the Chinese government considers sensitive. The Huawei phone replaces the standard Google Play application store with third-party substitutes the NCSC found to harbor sketchy, potentially malicious repackaging of common applications.

It's outrageous! Phones are only allowed to leak information to the US authorities!

Finally I created 10 rooms.

I'd like to have created a single resource with a capacity of 10 but It only allow reserve it to one person.

It's really limited how resources and rooms work in Exchange

US approves Covid booster jabs for some older and at-risk Americans

US drug regulators have approved Pfizer booster vaccines for people over 65 if they had their last shot at least six months ago.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also authorised adults at higher risk of severe illness and who work in front-line jobs to get the booster jab. It means tens of millions of Americans are now eligible for their third shot. However the boosters still need approval from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Independent panels from the CDC are holding meetings on Wednesday and Thursday, and are expected to endorse the move quickly, US media reports. The panels' decisions will include recommendations on who qualifies as high risk, and which frontline workers should be eligible. For its part, the FDA says "health care workers, teachers and day care staff, grocery workers and those in homeless shelters or prisons" should be on that list, acting FDA commissioner Janet Woodcock said in a statement.

@dashrender said in iPad 2 - are they still considered secure?:

Would you consider this a secure device today?

They are pretty shiny and slippery, so I doubt they are secure enough to ensure an unbalanced table leg doesn't slip off of it.

I've started another set of ports this morning.. they are going much slower than the previous rounds.

uh - maybe not... I just called one of them.. and it's in the new carrier's log.. so looks like that port is already done - just no paperwork to me yet.

If the new carrier is Skyetel and you are making a test call from Skyetel, it will route prior to port.

This is really the same for any carrier. Once it is listed in their network, calls on their network will use it.

DUH!.. thanks.

I never had an issue with Cisco ATAs connected to a cloud service behind Sonicwall devices. I don't recall setting anything up, but I am curious enough to review my setup notes to confirm.

We have not either. We have many Cisco SPA ATAs in service. All of them behind Sonicwalls. This is the only one connected to Skyetel.

Would need to see the packet as I mentioned above to try and give you any kind of answer on why.

I started with VMware many moons ago and as a result, cleaning up snapshots was pretty much mandatory or deal with "delta hell". Since it became habitual, it naturally translated to the cloud.

You just made me log in for the first time in nearly a year just to thumbs down that assclown.

OMG - I didn't notice when reading this on my cell phone, who it was... he's still around? Jeez I know I can be obtuse and all,... but if I was such a Curtis I'd have had my account locked and left the scene....

Yeah, he's never stopped there and they just keep letting him go. It's nuts. He was reported so many times for abuse, lying, intentionally trying to get people to harm themselves, fake news... but always allowed to remain.

Haven’t fixed emoji yet. I’ve posted the likely solution

Still broke

@teece I haven't seen that happened ever, no other transport rules modified the DKIM at all.

Thanks @JaredBusch
