A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. I don’t often play games, and until this issue below appeared on my feed due to the self inflicted data breach I was blissfully unaware.

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. A plethora of choice this week to pick three items of interest… Where to start… OK, first is this very odd fiasco over the Bloomberg story about Super Micro.
