Magaya enhances performance with Tessell’s PostgreSQL

Magaya Corporation enhanced its database infrastructure by using Tessell's managed PostgreSQL solution, improving database performance and operational efficiency. After being acquired by a private equity firm in 2023, Magaya migrated customers from the Classic system to the Blue Ivory platform but faced initial performance issues with Blue Ivory's database. The original PostgreSQL setup was not optimized for high-volume queries, leading to bottlenecks, and reliance on a single PostgreSQL expert posed operational risks. Tessell's managed PostgreSQL platform transformed Blue Ivory, achieving a tenfold improvement in query execution speeds and enhancing logistics operations to handle tens of thousands of rows per second. The migration to AWS was seamless, with optimizations in partitioning strategies, memory buffers, and disk I/O. Tessell provided 24/7 expert support, reducing dependency on a single in-house DBA. The optimizations prepared Magaya's Blue Ivory platform for sustainable growth, enabling quicker customer onboarding and smoother migrations, and allowing support for both multi-tenant and single-tenant deployments. This transition to a cloud-native solution met ROI expectations for private equity investors, enhancing growth and profitability. The partnership with Tessell modernized Magaya's database infrastructure and strengthened its position in the logistics and supply chain technology sector.

You can debloat Windows 11 in just 2 clicks with this new intuitive tool

Talon is an open-source tool designed to simplify the removal of bloatware from Windows 11, allowing users to enhance system performance with minimal effort. It automates the debloating process by removing pre-installed software such as Clipchamp, LinkedIn, and Microsoft News, targeting non-tech-savvy users. While it offers some customization options, it primarily follows a preset script for ease of use. Users can revert changes using the "Reset This PC" option, but certain removals, like Edge, will remain uninstalled unless Windows is reinstalled. Talon is compatible with Windows 11 Home and Pro versions, but not guaranteed for Insider Builds. It is open-source and available on GitHub, with community contributions reviewed for security.

PostgreSQL Terminal Tool Injection Vulnerability Allows Remote Code Execution

Researchers have identified a SQL injection vulnerability, CVE-2025-1094, in PostgreSQL's interactive terminal tool, psql. This vulnerability is linked to another vulnerability, CVE-2024-12356, related to remote code execution in BeyondTrust's products. CVE-2025-1094 arises from a flawed assumption about the security of escaped untrusted input and allows attackers to inject malicious SQL statements due to the processing of invalid UTF-8 characters. It has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.1, indicating high severity, and can lead to arbitrary code execution through psql's meta-command functionality. The vulnerability affects all supported PostgreSQL versions prior to 17.3, 16.7, 15.11, 14.16, and 13.19. Users are advised to upgrade to these patched versions to mitigate risks. A Metasploit module targeting this vulnerability has been developed, emphasizing the urgency for organizations to implement patches.

The Countdown to Windows 10 End of Life: What IT Teams Need to Know

Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. Extended Security Updates (ESUs) will be available for a maximum of three years at approximately per device. Windows 10 is currently the most targeted among older Windows operating systems, facing high-severity vulnerabilities. Organizations should conduct an asset audit, evaluate ESUs, migrate critical systems to the cloud, and establish a decommission plan for legacy systems. Morphisec offers a lightweight security solution for legacy systems, utilizing Automated Moving Target Defense (AMTD) technology to protect against advanced threats without the need for updates or internet connectivity.

Australian organisations urged to avoid fallout from Windows 10 support deadline

Australian organizations face a significant supply chain challenge as support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025, potentially exposing them to data breaches and regulatory non-compliance. A report by CRN Australia indicates that many businesses are unprepared for the transition to Windows 11, with fewer than 200 business days remaining. A global shortage of devices may hinder the replacement of aging technology. Approximately 4 million to 5 million devices have been sold annually, but millions of Windows 10 PCs still require replacement. Continuing to use Windows 10 post-support may lead to non-compliance with cybersecurity insurance policies, reluctance from businesses to engage with unsupported environments, and application incompatibility. Microsoft and Dicker Data are working together to provide training for IT professionals and assist businesses in migrating applications. An extended support update program is available, but partners advise against it due to high costs associated with maintaining outdated hardware.
