Today's Story Highlights

Windows Caught in Path of FREAK Security Storm
Microsoft on Thursday issued a security advisory acknowledging a
vulnerability in all versions of Windows that could allow FREAK
exploits. Windows systems previously were thought to be immune to FREAK
attacks. "The vulnerability could allow an attacker to force the
downgrading of the cipher suites used in an SSL/TLS connection on a
Windows client system," the advisory reads.

Bracing for the Cyberthreat Deluge
Almost 17,000 malware alerts surface every week, the Ponemon Institute
recently found. Only 4 percent of alerts were investigated, and
traditional antivirus products missed nearly 70 percent of malware in
the first hour, researchers discovered in a recent Damballa study.
Rescanning led to identification of 66 percent of the malware in 24
hours and 72 percent after seven days.

Rock Band 4 Rises From the Ashes
Harmonix on Thursday revealed that the fourth installment of Rock Band
will launch this fall on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The news comes
about five years after the last title in the franchise made its debut.
Harmonix is celebrating the series' return by gifting fans Frank
Turner's I Still Believe . It's an appropriate track for a series that
has taken some time off.
