Cyber News Rundown: Data breach exposes 44,000 First Amercian clientsNews

Early this week, officials for First American Financial Corporation revealed that they fell victim to a data breach in December that compromised sensitive information of 44,000 clients.

How to Search the Web (Minus AI Junk & Clutter) with Google on Safari for Mac

by: Jamie Cuevas If you’re a Safari user, as many of us are, you might be interested in actually searching the web with Google and then seeing a list of actual web link results, without seeing any of the new AI junk, video and image recommendations, knowledge panels, related searches, suggested searches, or the other junky clutter that dominates basically every modern Google search. Indeed, once upon a time, a default search on Google actually returned web-only results! You can have that good-old web search experience again with Safari, whether you’re on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, and it’s pretty simple as you’ll see in a moment. ⇨⇨ Full Article ⇦⇦

In case you missed it: Bank info-stealing malware found in 90+ Android apps with 5.5M installs

The apps identified have since been removed from Google Play, but make sure you didn't install one.By Cecily Mauran on May 31, 2024 The malware was disguised as PDF and QR code readers.

Webroot® SecureAnywhere™ - Antivirus

Seeing a lot more "suspicious activity reports" on a client's machine.

I have a client running on a MacBookPro 15-inch 2018, running MacOS Ventura 13.6.3. They are running WSA Latest version 9.5.12.227:1704. The scan shows no issues, but there are constant Suspicious Activity reports popping up. For example: This file is a system owned file, marked RW for System, and read only for everyone else, so only system should not be able to change it. Yet it generates warnings like this one: This is not the only 1, there are others. Same warnings, different programs updating. This has just started showing up in the last week or so. Here is another: Anyone have an idea why these warnings are showing up all of a sudden? Even as a Mac expert, I am stumped on this one because I do not know the internals of WSA. Help please.

Webroot® Consumer/Business - for Macs

MacBook Pro shuts down all the time

My MacBook Pro (macOS Catalina vers 10.15.7) shuts down on it’s own all the time, everytime it goes to sleep, all windows and apps in use close out and I have to sign in all over again, start from scratch with whatever I was doing, everytime. I have not been able to find a root cause.I have Webroot secureanywhere CE24.2. System Analyzer says I have a low amount of physical RAM (less than 4GB), and says updating Hardware May improve performance. But I do not know how to do that.It also says I have a high amount of RAM used by processes (processes using more than 250 MB), and large number of temporary files (more than 200 MB).Looking for some help with a solution. I have read that reinstalling MacOS might help, but I'm not sure how to do that, and also concerned about losing files if I do reinstall MacOS. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Advice to Prevent Phish Tests from Overwhelming Help Desk

Every time we push a phish test our help desk is inundated with tickets from clients “helpfully” informing us that they discovered a phishing email in their inbox.We’ve tried distributing the phish test over the course of a month to keep volume down, but that just spreads out the tickets.We have a few ideas we’re kicking around, but wondering if others have good strategies already in place. Thanks!

Can we audit device per sites if Web Threat Shield extension for Browser is enabled or disabled?

Hi Webroot Team, Newbie here. Can we audit device per sites if Web Threat Shield extension for Browser is enabled or disabled? Also, if the Web Threat Shield extension is disabled from a device with Webroot client program, does it mean that if the User accessed a malicious site, Webroot would not block it? Thank you.

Is Webroot VPN going away?

Hi All,Curious if Webroot VPN is going away now that SaferVPN is being decommissioned as of Dec 15th, 2023. If readers didn’t know, Webroot VPN is technically NOT an in house product, but rather a reskinned/rebranded version of SaferVPN, but added some of their BrightCloud tech to it. I received a notice today that SaferVPN is recommending IPVanish and the website is saying they’ve joined with IPVanish. So does this mean, the Webroot VPN will be changing their product to update it’s look and feel of IPVanish? CuriousRegardsJohn H

Deprecation of old Endpoint Management Console

Good day,I’m curious if anybody can shed any insight on the deprecation of the old Endpoint Protection Console and what we are to expect in terms of changes as of November 28th? I have reviewed training videos and understand where to perform most functions using the new console and entities.Please understand that we have hundreds of a sites listed in our consoles and I have reviewed the videos.Currently if I wish to go to the console and perform work on a site, I can go to the Sites list and I can search and find the site wether that is ABC company or XYZ, then I can click the little pop out or go to Endpoint Protection and click the “Go to Endpoint Protection Console” and I can access the old console.So what happens when the existing console is deprecated? will this button go away? Will there be a new button that will jump us to the specific site in Entities?There are also some logs areas that I’m suspect will no longer be available.Currently I can see which users accessed a site in

Universal syslog connector: Run as Service

I was really excited to see this Application, we use Rapid7 and there was no good way to get this data into IDR. My excitement was quickly diminished immediately after I installed this software. Why create a software that is to redirect logs, and in this case to a SIEM and not make it run as a service? I tested it, right after I set it up, I monitored the service running and as soon as I logged off my admin account the service stopped and I can only assume the logging stopped as well. Is there anyway to run this as a service? I really don’t need to see the Scrolling CLI, that feature is pretty much pointless.
