Microsoft advises urgent updates in two critical cases. On the one hand, Teams’ Android app blocks emergency calls from cell phones in certain cases and, on the other hand, attackers could exploit two vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s Active Directory services. Before the German-language satellite program of the Russian broadcaster RT started properly, Eutelsat stopped broadcasting it – a brief overview of the most important reports.
who Microsoft Teams on one Android phone should definitely install the latest updates or uninstall the Teams app. the Android app blocked namely possibly outgoing Emergency calls. At least the Android versions from Android 10 can be affected, a workaround for emergencies is not known. Neither Microsoft nor Google have yet explained how it was even possible for Microsoft Teams to block emergency calls from Android phones.
An update is also strongly recommended in order to Vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s Active Directory to close because this can abused to extend rights will. The Update has been available since November, but the Remonders point it out again insistently. Because it is easy to exploit the loopholes to get domain administrator permissions. Microsoft therefore recommends patching Active Directories quickly.
That has a completely different kind of update Russian state medium RT get after its new German language TV program was broadcast. The satellite operator Eutelsat has the Satellite broadcast of RT DE on the same day set. Since RT no broadcast license in Germany, the broadcasting of the German-language RT program was restricted. Russia sees itself discriminated against and threatens to take countermeasures.
Sascha Lobo is one of the most famous Digital experts of the country. Again and again he has the Germans Digital and network politics criticized and commented, among other things, on the slow expansion of the digital infrastructure and administration. With the new government there is now hope that digitization will finally make headway in the country. In an interview, Sascha Lobo explains why above all there is so little going on in administration: “I’m a little angry about data protection right now”.
Electricity is needed for digitization, but the cheapest Energy supplier is sometimes not the best choice. Then Customers of the electricity discounter Stromio have been since Wednesday no longer supplied by the company. As a reason, the electricity provider gave a “historically unique Price development in the electricity market“, especially at the European energy trading centers. This is why Stromio stops delivering electricity, but customers continue to be supplied because basic suppliers step in.
