Support Advisories

Microsoft is urging Windows users to immediately install an update after security researchers found a serious vulnerability in the operating system.

A security vulnerability has been found in a component used by the SonicOS operating system used in SonicWall firewall appliances. SonicWall has made a free patch available and strongly advises applying it immediately. If your SpeedLine network includes a SonicWall appliance (note that some of these appliances may be branded with the Dell name), read on for steps to secure it. This is a PCI-affecting security patch notification. If your network does not include a SonicWall, this advisory does not apply to you.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an Activity Alert to provide information on a vulnerability, known as “BlueKeep,” that exists in Microsoft Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Server 2008, and some earlier operating systems. If you might be affected, read on for recommendations.

The Support team was recently notified by several SpeedLine customers that someone claiming to be a support agent for a credit card processor asked them to change card processing settings. SpeedLine Support investigated and found that the requests did not come from the processing company, so were likely fraudulent. Read on for recommendations.

Today, a vulnerability was published about WPA2 encrypted networks, the most commonly recommended encryption method available to protect Wi-Fi devices.

The PCI Security Standard Council recently released a Defending Against Ransomware Resource Guide for merchants that SpeedLine recommends that all of our customers read. They have also posted to their blog about it (3 Things To Know About Ransomware, Fast).
