Microsoft gets ready to roll out the new Edge to Windows 10 via Windows Update

“Microsoft officials have said the new Chromium-based Edge browser will be generally available starting January 15, 2020. They also said in early November that the new Edge will be bundled with Windows 10 right after the general availability date, though this will happen in a staggered/staged manner. This week, the Redmondians are providing links to more details about the coming Edge rollout for Windows 10. “

Google to Force OAuth in G Suite to Increase Security

“Google announced that it will block less secure apps (LSAs) from accessing G Suite account data starting February 2021, following an initial stage of limiting their access during June 2020.

This announcement follows the removal of the “Enforce access to less secure apps for all users” setting from the Google Admin console on October 30, 2019.

LSAs are non-Google apps that access Google accounts using only a username and password pair and thus exposing users who use them to account hijacking attacks.”
