Hello everyone! Microsoft has been acting weird lately. I mean the recent publication of a propaganda report about evil Russians and how Microsoft is involved in the conflict between countries.

Hello everyone! In this episode, I will try to revive Security News with a focus on Vulnerability Management. On the one hand, creating such reviews requires free time, which could be spent more wisely, for example, on open source projects or original research.
