Hey there, welcome back. Let’s dive into today’s tech headlines. First up, Huawei’s Mate 90 specs leaked from Shenzhen – we got details on the display, processor and camera before the official reveal. Right after that, Russia rolled out 5G in the 4.9 GHz band on pilot sites in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg, using equipment from abroad. Switching gears to security, Mozilla patched 73 flaws in Firefox 156, Google fixed 42 in Chrome 153, and Microsoft’s September update broke Remote Desktop Services on Windows 11, 10 and Server – a quick out‑of‑band fix followed. On the server side, LiteSpeed’s Enterprise version has a privilege‑escalation bug that lets low‑privilege users reach root on shared hosting, so cPanel recommends upgrading to 6.3.7. Meanwhile, WooCommerce’s Wholesale Lead Capture plugin is being actively exploited, with over 100,000 attempts blocked since February. In the cyber‑war arena, a North Korean APT used a new Linux toolkit to hit South Korean media and automotive networks. Finally, Meta’s CEO reminded that each AI lab must independently ensure model safety. That’s the roundup – catch you next time.
