Using MagicINFO Server? A Vulnerability With Maximum Severity Discovered (And Patched)

May 1, 2025 by Dave Haynes

I only reluctantly wade into cybersecurity stuff, because much of it is way the hell over my empty head. But this seems like something important to at least relay to network operators and integrators who use Samsung’s mostly legacy MagicINFO CMS software. As you likely know, Samsung has made MagicINFO available for many years, but …

That Canadian QSR’s Menu Displays Were Compromised, Taken Over, Using Phishing

April 17, 2025 by Dave Haynes

I’ve not seen anything formally from the operator or its suppliers about that system-wide hack last week of digital menu displays at a Canadian QSR chain, but Sixteen:Nine’s German language content partner invidis got some in-bound clarity about what happened. About this time last week the order counter and drive-thru displays at Mary Brown’s Chicken …

Some 300 Stores In QSR Chain See Menu Displays Hacked By Pro-Palestine Activists

April 10, 2025 by Dave Haynes

Hacks of digital screens happens here and there, but a recent one involving a Canadian QSR chain was particularly bad because it appears to have been network-wide, affecting the menu board displays at the order counter AND outdoor screens in the drive-thru. So not just one or two stores because someone used PASSWORD as the …

Proto’s Virtual Presence Healthcare Solutions Now HIPAA-Compliant

March 12, 2025 by Dave Haynes

Marketing of display products that claim some type of hologram-ish visual effect has focused heavily on the whiz-bangery of the experience, and it is easy to forget that other technical aspects need to come into play for specific use-cases – like compliance with security and privacy standards in sensitive industries like health care.

Chicago Highway Billboards Hacked; Ads Swapped For Anti-Semitic Messages

October 17, 2024 by Dave Haynes

Let’s assume the IT team at Outfront Media is CLOSELY reviewing its software security in the wake of a hack Wednesday of several digital billboards in the Chicago area, with booked ads replaced by anti-semitic messages linked to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A Palestinian flag was used as the background for messages that were overtly anti-Israel. You …

How Do You Market An Important But Profoundly Dull CMS Feature? Make A Disco Song About It.

October 3, 2024 by Dave Haynes

Quite regularly now I get emails from companies with press releases about how their software platform has adopted some security protocol or completed some certification process. While that stuff is VERY important, it doesn’t make for the most compelling posts. And it is also pretty hard for the company to market effectively. Which brings me …

StratosMedia Adds TLS Authentication To Its Platform’s Security Measures

October 2, 2024 by Dave Haynes

I am wading into a thick patch of technical weeds here, and already feeling stuck, so will mostly just relay word that the Australia-based CMS software firm StratosMedia has added on to its stack of security measures with a certificate-based authentication measure called TLS. This kind of security measure uses certificates to verify the identity …

Blue Screens Of Death Invade Planet Earth

August 6, 2024 by Vpetersson

Guest Post: Viktor Petersson, Screenly It’s Saturday morning. Emergency services in Alaska are knocked out, meaning you can’t even get through to 911. Atlanta, Delta’s hub, is full of people sleeping wherever they can, and the queue to the help desk is more than a mile long. Thousands of flights are grounded, and there are …

Screenly First Digital Signage CMS Software Company To Sign Multinational Secure By Design Pledge

July 31, 2024 by Dave Haynes

With the global IT outage a very recent memory, and still not fully resolved for some CrowdStrike customers, software security and IT best practises are now (or certainly should be) big discussion points across organizations and industries. Numerous digital signage CMS software providers have had announcements in the past year or two about attaining security …

Omnivex Does A Lot of Windows-based Digital Signage Networks, And CTO Says They’re On Top Of It

July 19, 2024 by Dave Haynes

When I first learned this morning of the CrowdStrike update that was causing Blue Screens Of Death on computers running Windows (and CrowdStrike security software), I started thinking about the implications for digital signage software vendors that have scores, hundreds or even thousands of endpoints running Microsoft’s operating system. The company that most comes to …
