Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh died early Monday from lung cancer. He was 70 years old.
Limbaugh, who's conservative views quickly drove him to the top of the radio talk show market, made a name for himself being outspoken against democratic views, as well as picking on the Republican Party when the issue warrant it.
The announcement came from his wife, Catherine, during his normal radio show time slot on participating radio stations in the U.S. and around the world.
There is now a memorial page to him on his main web site.
The first malware native to Apple Silicon M1 Macs has been discovered by independent security researcher Patrick Wardle.
Ex-NSA researcher Patrick Wardle has recently praised Apple for the security of its M1 processor, but even so has now discovered evidence of hackers recompiling malware for it.
Wardle discovered the existence of GoSearch22.app, an M1-native version of the longstanding Pirrit virus. This version appears to have been aimed at displaying ads and collecting data from the user's browser.
"Today we confirmed that malicious adversaries are indeed crafting multi-architecture applications, so that their code will natively run on M1 systems," says Wardle in a blog post. "The malicious GoSearch22 application may be the first example of such natively M1 compatible code."
"The creation of such applications is notable for two main reasons," he continues. "First (and unsurprisingly), this illustrates that malicious code continues to evolve in direct response to both hardware and software changes coming out of Cupertino."
"There are a myriad of [sic] benefits to natively distributing native arm64 binaries, so why would malware authors resist?" he continues. "Secondly, and more worrisomely, (static) analysis tools or anti-virus engines may struggle [to detect this]."

The tax will generate as much as an estimated $250 million in the first year after enactment, with the money going to schools.
