Apple is about to be fined €500 million by the European Commission.The fine will be part of the conclusion of the case after Spotify files a formal complaint in 2019. Apple prevents music streaming apps like Spotify from offering users alternative ways to subscribe to their own services, thereby bypassing Apple's in-app purchase commissions, a move the EU considers illegal. These provisions are commonly referred to as App Store "anti-steering clauses". The upcoming EU ruling won't force Apple to allow alternative in-app payments, but it will insist that music streaming app developers are free to link to their websites for online subscriptions. On March 13, 2019, streaming music service Spotify filed a complaint against Apple with European Union antitrust regulators, alleging that Apple unfairly restricts rivals in favor of its own streaming music service, Apple Music. Spotify said that Apple's control of the App Store deprived consumers of choice and competed with other streaming music service providers in a way that favored Apple Music.

In addition, TikTok did not verify that a user was a parent or guardian of a child user when linked through the "Family Matchmaking" link.

QBot Trojan upgraded to a ransomware, abusing Win10 Writing Board executable, hijacking DLLs to infect devices. Tech media outlet BleepingComputer reports that security experts and Cryptolaemus member ProxyLife have discovered a new QBot phishing campaign that abuses the writing pad executable write.exe on Win10 systems to spread via a DLL hijacking vulnerability. QBot, also known as Qakbot, is a Windows malware that originally appeared as a banking Trojan and then evolved into a malware dropper.Security experts have now confirmed that ransomware groups such as Black Basta, Egregor and Prolock are using the malware to launch ransom attacks on multiple corporate networks.When a victim clicks on the link, a randomly named ZIP archive is downloaded from a remote host. The file contains document.exe and a DLL file named edputil.dll (used for DLL hijacking). Checking the document.exe property, you can see that it is a renamed version of the legal writing pad file Write.exe. When document.exe starts, it automatically tries to load a legal DLL file named edputil.dll, which is usually located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.When the executable tries to load edputil.dll, the problematic edputil.dll file in the same file path is loaded first.
