Apple/Products related News and Software Updates:
Other News and Updates:
  • Seagate & Lacie wireless storage products contain multiple vulnerabilities (kb.cert.org)
    (Sept. 1st article and title revised (again) Sept. 8th to add Lacie)
    Notes "Seagate has released firmware 3.4.1.105 to address these issues... Customers may download the firmware from Seagate's website". (They later revised the Seagate link that went to Firmware Updates for Seagate Products to the Seagate Download Finder that requires a serial number of the drive.

    The (revised) Cert page also lists the LaCie FUEL drive as affected, so I checked LaCie support downloads for an update for the FUEL drive. Found a Sept. 2nd, 2015 dated LaCie Fuel firmware page with v3.4.1.112, but as of Sept. 8th, the page says "This firmware update is the original system firmware for the LaCie Fuel device". (A later version than listed for Seagate in Cert note, but only "original system firmware" for Fuel? Or is page note incorrect?)

    (BTW: Lacie links automatically converted to https/SSL and on 9/8/2015 my install of Firefox alerted the connection was not trusted due to "an invalid security certificate... The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.")
