macOS Sierra Issues and Fixes
The MacPaw How-tos - September 22, 2016
Sierra installation troubles: what could go wrong? Verify Your Version of Quicken is Compatible with Sierra!
Alert from Judi Shade:Although Sierra works fine, it has serious compatibility issues with non-Apple software including Intuit products like Quicken. I just spent hours restoring my iMac from backup because all my Quicken was not able to be accessed with Sierra. Thank goodness I keep my TimeMachine up to date.
This is the very first time I have experienced this with an Apple OS revision.
Sierra is finally here and everyone’s rushing to install it. While for most it’s a usual pleasurable experience, for some this update had downsides. Here we’ll go over macOS Sierra known issues (the unknown are yet to be discovered, I’m afraid) and try to find the right fix for each.

Change your password! Yahoo confirms data breach of 500 million accounts
By Lisa Vaas - Sophos.com - September 23, 2016
That may include names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (the vast majority with the password-hashing function bcrypt) and, in some cases, encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers.
Yahoo says the breach didn’t include unprotected passwords, payment card data, or bank account information. The company says it doesn’t store payment card data or bank account information in its system.
It’s blaming an unspecified “state-sponsored actor.” The FBI has confirmed that it’s investigating the attack.
Three unnamed US intelligence officials told Reuters that they believed the attack was state-sponsored because of its resemblance to previous hacks traced to Russian intelligence agencies or hackers acting under their command.

Google Safe Browsing beats rivals but still only flags up 10 percent of hacked sites
By Liam Tung - ZDNet - September 23, 2016
An analysis of hijacked websites suggests Google's Safe Browsing technology is only warning users about a small proportion of them.
Thousands of websites have been hijacked in the past three months, but just 18 percent were blacklisted by four major security services, including Google's Safe Browsing system.
Sucuri's Hacked Website Report for the second quarter of 2016 contains a rundown of 9,771 infected sites that it has recovered in the past three months on behalf of customers.
But only 18 percent of these infected sites have been blacklisted by Google's Safe Browsing, Symantec's Norton SafeWeb, Yandex's Safe Browsing service, or McAfee's SiteAdviser, according to Sucuri, meaning the vast majority have been spreading malware without any warning being presented to users.
However, Google's service far outperformed the others, accounting for 52 percent of the roughly one-fifth of sites that have been blacklisted. Symantec account for 38 percent, Yandex 32 percent, and McAfee 11 percent. Sucuri notes that Google blacklisted 10 percent of sites it cleaned up in the quarter.
