Enlarge / This is happening whether you like it or not. (credit: Google) It's time to talk about Google messaging again.

Last month, Aesop Rock announced that he was releasing Spirit World Field Guide, his first new album in five years that also serves as a concept album that offered survival tips in a parallel universe (which feels right for 2020 and especially now). The veteran rapper has put out a trippy video for his latest track, “Pizza Alley,” which continues to build on that theme of disconnect and travels through Peru in search of…something. The clip was directed by Aesop’s longtime collaborator Rob Shaw, with illustrations coming from Justin “Coro” Kaufman. “If you are among the countless individuals who find themselves feeling both dead and alive at the same time, the information contained within may serve as an invaluable asset to your journey,” Aesop said of the album in a statement. “Godspeed and good luck.” Previously, Aesop Rock shared “The Gates.” Spirit World Field Guide is out on Nov. 13 on Rhymesayers.

Enlarge (credit: Getty Images) One of the most critical Windows vulnerabilities disclosed this year is under active attack by hackers who are trying to backdoor servers that store credentials for every user and administrative account on a network, a researcher said on Friday. Zerologon, as the vulnerability has been dubbed, gained widespread attention last month when the firm that discovered it said it could give attackers instant access to active directories, which admins use to create, delete, and manage network accounts. Active directories and the domain controllers they run on are among the most coveted prizes in hacking because once hijacked, they allow attackers to execute code in unison on all connected machines. Microsoft patched CVE-2020-1472, as the security flaw is indexed, in August. On Friday, Kevin Beaumont, working in his capacity as an independent researcher, said in a blog post that he had detected attacks on the honeypot he uses to keep abreast of attacks hackers are using in the wild. When his lure server was unpatched, the attackers were able to use a powershell script to successfully change an admin password and backdoor the server.
