Right now, when you use “Hide My Email” or “Sign in with Apple,” it gives you a fake email address that forwards messages to your real inbox. This lets you sign up for things online without handing out your actual email. These fake addresses currently look just like normal iCloud email addresses, which is actually the whole point: a website can’t tell the difference between someone’s real iCloud account and a generated fake one, so it can’t block them.

Apple’s new plan is to move all these fake addresses to their own separate address ending in .icloud.com. Old addresses will keep working fine, so nothing breaks right away. But the problem is that once all the fake addresses live in one easily identifiable place, websites can simply block that entire address ending and refuse anyone using it, the same way many sites already block disposable email services.
Privacy-focused users are unhappy about this, since it basically removes the “disguise” that made the feature useful. Some are now rushing to generate a bunch of old-style addresses before the change happens, so they’ll have a stockpile to use later, though Apple limits how many you can create at once.

It’s worth noting Apple hasn’t said this is intended to make blocking easier; that’s an unintended side effect people are worried about, and there’s hope Apple might reconsider before the rollout.

At Rhinotech, we help businesses in Easley, SC, Canton, GA, and surrounding areas stay ahead of these risks with reliable managed IT support, robust cybersecurity solutions, and expert guidance tailored to small and mid-sized organizations.

ServiceNow had a security vulnerability that let unauthorized users access customer data they shouldn't have been able to see. The company pushed a patch to fix it and started notifying affected customers.

The bug apparently came from a misconfigured setting — likely introduced in a software update — that affected customers on older platform releases. ServiceNow is attributing the suspicious activity to security researchers validating the flaw, but that claim is disputed.

The concerning part: internal records suggest ServiceNow knew about this since April 7th but didn't treat it as a serious threat. Customers who reported it say support initially told them to close the ticket and not worry about it.

It's still unclear how many customers were hit or exactly what data was exposed — but given ServiceNow's clientele, it could include IT infrastructure details, employee info, and more.

Alphabet’s Mandiant team and Google Threat Intelligence recently uncovered an active hacking and extortion campaign against Oracle’s PeopleSoft enterprise software. The attacks were carried out by a group known as ShinyHunters between May 27 and June 9.

PeopleSoft is a widely used business system that helps organizations manage important operations like:

Human resources (HR)
Finance
Supply chain

Many universities, businesses, and government agencies rely on it.

Google spotted scanning and exploitation attempts and quickly notified more than 100 organizations whose systems appeared vulnerable. Most of the targets were in the United States, with 68% in higher education.

They installed customized tools (MeshCentral agents) disguised as legitimate cloud services.
These tools connected back to command servers that looked like Microsoft Azure infrastructure.

They accessed internal configuration files to better understand and move around inside the victim’s network.

Importantly, this happened before Oracle released a security fix on June 10, so the attackers exploited it as a zero-day vulnerability (no patch was available yet).

ShinyHunters is a known cybercrime group that targets big organizations for extortion. Just last month, they made a deal with Instructure (the company behind the Canvas learning platform) after stealing student and school data.

If your organization uses PeopleSoft or similar enterprise systems, make sure you’ve applied Oracle’s latest security updates immediately.

At rhinotech, we help local businesses and organizations stay protected against these kinds of targeted attacks with proactive monitoring, timely patching, and strong cybersecurity practices.

We've been following the high-severity vulnerabilities in Ubiquiti's UniFi OS. New research now shows these flaws are even more dangerous than first reported.
Security researchers have demonstrated that a full exploit chain can be triggered with just one unauthenticated request. This gives attackers root-level access to the UniFi OS host, allowing them to act as a trusted administrator — making changes, stealing data, and affecting connected devices across the network.
Key details from the research:

The attack requires no user interaction and can be executed remotely against any exposed UniFi OS interface.
It exploits a mismatch in how different parts of UniFi OS (specifically the authentication gateway and Nginx routing layer) handle certain URI paths. This lets malicious requests slip past authentication entirely.
No authentication logs are generated, meaning the breach can happen silently without triggering typical detection alerts.

Potential Impact
Since UniFi OS serves as the central management plane, root access puts the entire ecosystem at risk, including:

Admin credentials, API tokens, and device adoption secrets
Wi-Fi configurations (SSIDs and passwords)
SSH keys
Managed network devices (switches, gateways, access points)
Camera systems and video access
Physical access controls (door controllers and logs)
Firmware and system file integrity

What You Should Do Now
Even after applying Ubiquiti’s patches, organizations need to assume potential prior compromise and take these steps:

Rotate all UniFi-related secrets: admin passwords, API tokens, SSH keys, Wi-Fi credentials, and device adoption secrets.
Audit managed devices for unexpected changes, unknown admin accounts, or mismatched firmware.
Use Ubiquiti’s newly released detection tool to scan for signs of tampering.
Look for indicators like unusual access to /api/auth/validate-sso/ or suspicious ucs-update processes.

At Rhinotech, we help businesses secure their network infrastructure, including UniFi environments. If you're running UniFi gear, now is the time to review your setup.

5. Stay Secure & Up to Date

Go to Settings > Windows Update and turn on automatic updates.
Enable Windows Hello (face/fingerprint login) for faster, more secure sign-ins.
Use Focus assist (in Settings) to mute notifications when you need to concentrate.

Bonus Tip:
If your PC feels slow after upgrading, try restarting it regularly and checking Settings > System > Storage > Cleanup recommendations.

Hey Facebook friends! If you’ve upgraded to Windows 11 (or thinking about it), you’re probably noticing it looks sleek but might feel a little different from Windows 10. Don’t worry — here’s a quick, practical guide with easy tips to help you get comfortable and productive fast.

1. Customize Your Start Menu

3. Use Widgets for Quick Info

Click the Widgets button on the taskbar (or press Windows key + W).
Add weather, calendar, news, traffic, or sports scores.
Customize by clicking the three dots on each widget. Great for staying informed without opening extra tabs.

4. Enable Dark Mode & Focus Mode

For distraction-free work, search for Focus in the taskbar search and set a timer. It silences notifications automatically.

5. Stay Safe with Windows Security

Run quick scans regularly and make sure Real-time protection is on.
Enable BitLocker for extra file encryption if you travel with your laptop.

Windows 11 runs great once you tweak these basics!
