Just a quick update for my Apple brethren; Apple has just pushed out the security update/patch for Spectre (yes, one of those vulnerabilities that everyone's talking about at the water cooler). The security update is for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac (your Apple Watch is safe according to Apple), so please update them as soon as possible. Lastly, I recommend setting aside 20-30 mins to download & install the updates but of course, times vary because systems are different. That's it for now and take care, everyone.
You're very welcome. Unfortunately, even with this patching, the Spectre problem won't go away since it deals with hardware vulnerabilities. :( However, it's not all bad news since companies will have a heightened awareness for any attacks that deal with Spectre (extremely fast patching will become a thing), which is a good note for end-users.

To whom it may concern:
Some websites suggest or even require passkeys for login.
Microsoft has not implemented a working webauthn forwarding in Server 2019 1809, while it works in higher versions like server 2022!
That means: if your users would like to use their passkeys in a remote server 2019 (1809) session, it will fail since the fido2 security device is not being forwarded. You will need to upgrade to server 2022. This was verified with both Win10 and 11 as client.
