Just a weekly advisory that I send out to my clients at the end of the week.

This week's advisory:

1. US-Cert Advisories concerning Russian brute-force attacks against infrastructure; 7-Zip vulnerabilities; Outlook vulnerabilities; MsOffice 2013 exits mainstream support.

2. GMail gets a facelift. New features and capabilities being rolled out over the next few weeks.

3. My commentary on browser-based vs thick client email.
