So sad to hear this. Stacy played my father in a lovely little Western titled Lone Rider. A consummate actor, gracious, giving and incredibly kind even while he had the presence of a smoldering volcano. One of the greats. Proud to have shared some frames with him. #RIPStacyKeach

‼️BREAKING: A critical flaw in Synology NAS devices lets attackers read and write any file on them without logging in. The SQL injection bug in their login system scores 9.8 out of 10. A second flaw, in rsync, skips the login too. Synology patched both today. Update ASAP.

‼️‼️ Microsoft’s November 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes a massive 1,235 vulnerabilities, including 66 rated Critical and an actively exploited Microsoft Outlook zero-day. The Outlook flaw (CVE-2026-124194) can be exploited using malicious message files that trick Windows into connecting to attacker-controlled network locations, leaking NTLMv2 authentication hashes that could be used to impersonate victims. Of the 66 Critical flaws, 48 are remote code execution vulnerabilities, 15 are privilege escalation flaws, and three are use-after-free bugs in Microsoft Edge. The massive update follows October's record-breaking 1,411 vulnerabilities. ➡️Full details: bleepingcomputer.com/news/mi…

Mount St. Helens had some unexpected rooftop visitors! 🐐 Five mountain goats were spotted hanging out on the roof of the Johnstone Ridge Observatory, enjoying a pretty spectacular view of Mount St. Helens. The observatory has been inaccessible to vehicles since May 2023, when a landslide destroyed the SR 504 Bridge. With fewer human visitors, it looks like the goats have claimed the prime viewing spot! 🗻 #WAwx

‼️ WordPress sites can be attacked even while installing a fix for an actively exploited flaw, a researcher warns. The update still uses vulnerable code, leaving a brief window for attackers to execute PHP code on the server. Here's what site owners need to do before updating → thehackernews.com/2026/11/in…

New ECMWF data shows the *strongest subtropical jet stream* in its forecast history blowing across the Pacific and U.S. this winter into next spring, with record-strength winds predicted from California to Florida. There's even a connection to Europe. El Niño fuels more thunderstorms near the equator, which release heat high into the atmosphere. That extra warmth strengthens the Hadley circulation and steepens the temperature gradient between the tropics and the mid-latitudes, which strengthens the subtropical jet. And that's why such a stormy winter is anticipated across the western, southern and eastern United States.
