Windows 11 22H2 Moment 3 (KB5026446) is currently available as an optional update, but these changes will also be included in the mandatory Patch Tuesday in June.

One of the main features is the new look of the widget panel with three columns – with two columns for news and one for widgets. Microsoft has also included animated icons for widgets on the taskbar. Another big change is the ability to copy security codes from notifications, so if you use two-factor authentication and receive notifications via email (or SMS from your phone), you can immediately copy this code to your clipboard.

The Settings app now has a USB4 page where you can manage docking stations and connected devices. There’s also now a Presence Privacy Settings page that gives you more granular control over features like wake up your PC when approached or lock when you leave. There are also additional settings for brightness, touch keyboard. The Accounts page has also been updated to accurately display the available storage for all of a user’s OneDrive subscriptions.

In File Explorer, context menus now support access keys. Accessibility has also been improved, including support for live subtitles in more languages, as well as support for voice access in more English dialects.

Taskbar improvements include displaying VPN status, and in response to user feedback, there is now an option to display seconds on the clock on the taskbar. The update brings an extra layer of protection against phishing and insecure passwords, and adds support for Bluetooth Low Energy Audio.

This is not a complete list of changes that Windows 11 22H2 Moment 3 brings. There are also improvements that are less noticeable to users, as well as a number of bugs, crashes and shortcomings.

Vulnerabilities are found not only in AMD or Intel processors. A fresh vulnerability called GoFetch was found in Apple M single-chip systems for its Mac computers.

Absolutely all Mac computers based on Apple Silicon have a serious GoFetch vulnerability that cannot be fixed at the silicon level

The vulnerability allows attackers to steal cryptographic information from the CPU cache by allowing the attacker to create a cryptographic key from the stolen data, allowing the application to access sensitive encrypted data.

This vulnerability is very dangerous because it completely neutralizes the side-channel encryption algorithm used to protect against side-channel or processor cache attacks.

In addition, there is no way to fix the vulnerability at the silicon level, meaning Apple cannot start producing chips without the vulnerability. But, as in other cases, it is possible to create a software patch, but it is not yet known what share of productivity will have to be paid for this.

A Lincoln, Nebraska woman is accused of taking advantage of a gas station failure to fill her car and other vehicles with more than 28,000 liters of free fuel between November 2022 and June 2023.

Lincoln police arrested 45-year-old Dawn Thompson and charged her with stealing gas by exploiting a vulnerability that put the pump into demo mode after swiping a rewards card twice.

The software bug has since been fixed, and in October 2023, Pump and Pantry alerted police to a possible theft. Investigators were able to find Thompson by tracking the rewards card information.

Police say the card was used to claim free fuel 510 times over a six-month period and CCTV footage showed her filling up her car. The gas station's total losses were $27,860.

Theft over $5,000 is a Class IIA felony in Nebraska and can be punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

The second update has already been released in Europe and Canada, the software numbers are S92*BXXS1AXBG and S92*WVLS1AXBG, respectively. The size of the update depends on the specific model. For example, in the case of the European Galaxy S24 Plus – 285 MB, and in the case of the Galaxy S24 Ultra – 428 MB.

Interestingly, neither Samsung nor Google have yet revealed what exactly is contained in the March Android security update. But usually such updates patch several dozen previously identified holes and gaps in the software.
