[German]Windows 11 has a problem with network throughput when receiving files. In part 1, I had presented some measurements that a blog reader had taken during tests to analyze the weakening network throughput and the high CPU load under Windows 11. After various researches and probably also contact with Microsoft, the cause is now clear. The security features that Microsoft's developers have built into Windows 11 (and Server 2019/2022) are responsible. Fortunately, however, this can be configured or optimized (which may also become relevant for Windows Server 2019/2022).
[German]When transferring data over a network, Windows has an amazing but unattractive effect. If you copy data between machines with Windows 10 and Windows 11, Windows 11 consumes 2 to 3 times more CPU power than Windows 10.

[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.
