Hello, welcome to the Friday, November 13th, 2020 edition of the Sand Center at Stombsonters Stormcast.

My name is Johannes Ulrich, and today I'm recording from Jacksonville, Florida.

Over the last few years, you've probably heard a lot about exposed Amazon S3 buckets.

Well, Amazon has taken some measures to make a little bit more difficult

to expose your data this way. But of course, other cloud providers have similar features.

And Microsoft Azure calls this plop storage. Daniel has talked about this before and how it's as easy, maybe easier than

with S3 to expose your blob storage. Well, as Daniel points out in a follow-up diary, this has changed

now and Microsoft has added an option to simply disable public

blob access.

So if you're using this feature with Microsoft, take a look at Danielle's diary.

He's also going over some of the additional access control details and what kind of log messages to expect.

Today, of course, was a big day for Apple with the release of MacOS 11 Bigser, but with an update,

we also got a couple of security fixes.

First one for the brand new operating system.

MacOSPixir 11.0.1, that's the exact version that you should be running at this point, does fix a number of security vulnerabilities that apparently didn't sort of make it into the final 11.0 release.

At the same time, we also got updates for macOS high Sierra and macOS Mojave.

That's essentially the update that we had for Catalina, the most recent operating system, about a week ago.

A bit surprising is the size of the macOS Bixer 11.0.1 update.

It fixes about 55, if I counted correctly, different vulnerabilities.

A bunch of open source components are being updated.

That's a little bit of typical thing for Apple, of course, in it,

including a lot of open source components with its operating system.
