Dell has released a security patch that fixes a security vulnerability affecting many Dell computers going back to 2009, along with instructions on how to install it if your computer is affected (via threatpost). The vulnerability, found by security research firm SentinelLabs, is present in a driver used by Dell and Alienware’s firmware update utilities, and it allows an attacker to gain full kernel-level permissions in Windows.

Not much to be worried about. I said something to our IT guy, he looked into and came back with this.
Also it’s interesting that they are referencing 3rd party references.
NOT the dell website.
As seen in the code of the site.

I guess nobody here has a WD MyBook Live but if you do, take it off the internet:

This may as well go here.
Ransomware.
Hmm. That would suck. I'm not here to tell you how to run your business, but CISA is. They even want to help.
CISA’s CSET Tool Sets Sights on Ransomware Threat
CISA has released a new module in its Cyber Security Evaluation Tool (CSET): the Ransomware Readiness Assessment (RRA). CSET is a desktop software tool that guides network defenders through a step-by-step process to evaluate their cybersecurity practices on their networks.
This analyzes your security and provides recommendations to improve an organization's readiness.
Honestly, I have not run it. I'm leery of its results, i.e. just how bad is it? I will soon.
