Microsoft update breaks dual boot. Solarwinds hardcoded password issue.

Hi folks,

I hope you're having a great day! This week seems to have been a slow one in terms of cybersecurity news. I'm tempted to drag in some articles that I would otherwise not include, just to fill this issue. But I figure it makes much more sense to celebrate this occasion and just let you get back to your day quicker :-)

Enjoy the short read and have a wonderful weekend!

Cheers,
