[German]Small addendum from this week: The developers of the Tor Bundle have already submitted version 12.5 of the Tor Browser on June 22, 2023. This updated comes with improved accessibility features, an updated circuit display, and the new onion page icons, among other things.
[German]U.S. company United Parcel Service, better known under the abbreviation UPS, has experienced a data protection incident in which customer information was leaked. During package tracking, third parties were able to view more data about a package recipient than desired. As a result, customers are now falling victim to phishing text messages.

[German]May 2023 security updates for Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022 brought a nasty Explorer bug. Administrators can no longer query permissions for files in Explorer – the function hangs and leads to high CPU load. After I promptly addressed this issue here on the blog, Microsoft has now officially confirmed the bug.
[German]Microsoft Teams client is programmed a "bit strangely", as I already mentioned here in the blog.
