The security researcher with a grudge against Microsoft announces more disclosures in June breaking secure boot trust affecting (at least) BitLocker, after already telling people to mark July 14.

This comes after their repositories on GitHub and GitLab have been deleted by the respective service providers.

Anyone who is interested in the source code of the exploits can find it with the TOR Browser on DarkTea (Gitea on the Dark Web)

They also say that multiple security researchers have contacted them with information regarding security issues in Windows.

I just bought this yesterday for my 16 year old son. He is in year 11, doing subjects heavy in maths and science. His old laptop was 8 years old and falling. I had a budget of $1200, reluctantly, as I knew that DDR prices and storage prices had gone through the roof recently. Typically, I have spent $700-800 on laptops for my kids.

I walked into a local retailer and this was presented as a laptop that had been ordered and not collected or paid for. Price was $1,999 firm.

After some negotiation, I walked out with it for $1,500. Way more than I was comfortable spending but it seems to be a good deal, unless I am missing something?

As title suggests.
Coming home the other day I find my PC started to restart out of nowhere, with no warning before or errors afterwards. I haven't changed anything and haven't had this problem before.

Any suggestions on what to do?

Device specs:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM 64.0 GB
Storage 233 GB HDD ST9250315AS, 112 GB SSD OCZ-VERTEX2, 466 GB SSD Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 500GB
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB)
System Type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
OS Windows 10

UPDATE: Memtest got through 2 out of 4 passes in under 4 hours before I got fed up with waiting, which in itself seems a good sign since it didn't restart there.
Event viewer showed one odd Event: The process C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE (ANDROID-17) has initiated the restart of computer ANDROID-17 on behalf of user ANDROID-17\smuld for the following reason: Anderer Grund (geplant) Reason Code: 0x80000000 Shut-down Type: restart Comment:

No idea why because automatic restart is disabled.
