NASA RFI Asks for Industry Input on ISS Deorbit
An Anonymous Coward writes:NASA issued a Request For Information (RFI) "to assess industry's capability to design, develop, manufacture, launch, and provide the on-orbit operation to enable a controlled re-entry and the safe deorbit [of] the ISS." The general plan lays out possible steps in the deorbit process, ending with "the final reentry burn resulting in a controlled reentry of the ISS within a pre-defined, uninhabited entry corridor." The RFI and its attached presentation slides are very interesting reading, even if you're not preparing for an eventual proposal.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.

Microsoft Defender Mistakenly Detects Electron-Based Apps as Malware
An Anonymous Coward writes:Microsoft Defender falsely detects Win32/Hive.ZY in Google Chrome, Electron appsA recent bug in security intelligence updates for Microsoft Defender is causing it to incorrectly detect Chrome-based browsers and other Electron-based apps as potential malware. Microsoft Edge and other such apps are flagged as suspicious, reporting the threat as Behavior:Win32/Hive.ZY. The issue seems to be resolved when upgrading to version 1.373.1537.0 of the security intelligence updates, and the changelog reports an update to the threat detection for Behavior:Win32/Hive.ZY. After updating Microsoft Defender's security intelligence, the false positive disappears, and no further action is needed.The false positive appears to be linked to detecting behaviors that would indicate the presence of Hive ransomware. It's obviously a good thing to detect Hive ransomware and block it, but this panicked many users over the weekend whose computers warned them upon opening many trusted applications. Details are scarce as to what went wrong in the Microsoft Defender definitions and how the false positive occurred, but the issue seems to have been resolved with the latest definitions.Although Microsoft Edge does not contain the Hive ransomware, some users might suggest that Edge was correctly identified as malware, and that the rest of Windows should have been flagged as well.Original SubmissionRead more of this story at SoylentNews.
