Weekly Tech Advisory 2018.05.14

Written By Russell Mickler

This week on my tech advisory:

1. Microsoft releases their Spring Updates which includes a dangerously-insecure feature called Windows Timeline. Watch the video to learn how it could harm you and, better yet, how to turn it off.

2. A S/MIME attachment vulnerability exists for Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, and Mozilla Thunderbird.  The bottom line is that using thick-clients for email jeopardizes your ability to maintain security. 

3. Google is re-designing the user interface for Gmail and Drive. 

4. Are iPhones more secure than Android phones? Yes. Learn why.
