Microsoft Confirms Security Pause For Outlook Email Encryption
Two-click encrypted email adds security pause for Outlook users. There are lots of ways that email platforms can come under attack. Your passwords can be compromised, whether you are using Outlook or Gmail. Two-factor authentication code session cookies can be stolen by hackers enable easy account access. And you can, in effect, compromise your own email by not taking privacy considerations seriously enough. This can even be, maybe even especially be, the case when encrypted email is concerned. Which is why Microsoft is introducing a security pause for users of New Outlook for Windows. Here's what you need to know about the new 2-click encryption view. As regular readers of the cybersecurity section here at Forbes will know, I'm a great advocate for security being simple if it is to be effective. Anything that gets in the way of a smooth user experience will likely be ignored or disabled, and thus quickly becomes counterproductive from the perspective of attack mitigation. You might be surprised to learn, therefore, that I'm all in when it comes to the latest Microsoft announcement that Outlook is introducing a security pause to the encrypted email viewing process. 'New Outlook for Windows will now support a two-click view for encrypted emails,' Microsoft said. 'This feature enables admins to require user confirmation before allowing access to encrypted emails.' Sounds like an extra security hurdle to me, for sure, but in this case, it is a desired one. Why so? Because we are talking about preventing users from opening an encrypted email without giving any thought at all. What if the user is in an inappropriate environment? What if there are people around who should not be able to view the contents? Poor privacy controls are the doorway to compromise, especially when sensitive data is concerned, and let's face it, why would you encrypt email if it were not meant to kept private? Admins with control over New Outlook for Windows, as well as Outlook for the web, iOS and Android, will be able to implant the security pause from the TwoClickMailPreviewEnabled setting in the Microsoft Azure directory, and Microsoft said they can also set this up using a Microsoft PowerShell command in Microsoft Exchange Online PowerShell. The feature will start rolling out in early April and be complete by the end of that month, although Android and iOS implementations will come a little later, with the end of June being the target completion date, according to Microsoft.

Al Ahli make contact with Ange Postecoglou, former Tottenham boss among candidates if managerial change made
Al Ahli have made contact with former Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou and he is among the candidates the Saudi Pro League side are considering if a managerial change is made. Former Barcelona head coach Xavi is also among the potential options being considered by Al Ahli in the event of head coach Matthias Jaissle departing the club. Advertisement Jaissle's Al Ahli contract runs until 2026 and he has turned down multiple offers of a new deal, leading to the club opening negotiations with other candidates, and talks are moving quickly with Postecoglou. Jaissle's potential departure would be complicated as he led the club to AFC Champions League success in May and he remains a popular figure with supporters. Postecoglou was dismissed by Tottenham in June despite him winning the club's first major trophy in 17 years. The Australian led Spurs to victory in the Europa League final over Manchester United in May — the club's first piece of silverware since 2008 — but they finished 17th in the Premier League. Thomas Frank has since been appointed his successor. Xavi, meanwhile, has been out of management since being sacked by Barcelona in May 2024. Jaissle's potential successor would inherit a squad at Al Ahli that includes former Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez, former Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino and former Brentford striker Ivan Toney. They are one of four clubs Saudi's Public Investment Fund (PIF) took control of in the summer of 2023, leading to significant transfer spending and an influx of overseas talent into the division. A move to Al Ahli would represent Potecoglou's first coaching role in Saudi Arabia, having managed in Australia, Greece, Japan, Scotland and England. He joined Tottenham in the summer of 2023 and led the club to a fifth-place finish during his debut season in charge. However, Tottenham won only 11 league games during the 2024-25 campaign and endured a pair of six-game winless runs over April and May, and December and January. Their total of 22 losses was the most of any team not to be relegated in a 38-game Premier League season. Postecoglou did have to contend with an extensive injury list, with Dominic Solanke, Brennan Johnson, Yves Bissouma, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, Dejan Kulusevski, Guglielmo Vicario, Richarlison, James Maddison, Radu Dragusin and Wilson Odobert all missing periods. Advertisement Xavi, meanwhile, had announced in January 2024 his intention to leave Barca at the end of the 2023-24 season before being persuaded to reverse his decision in April. He was then dismissed just 30 days after April's announcement that he would see out his contract until 2025. He won the La Liga title during his debut season in charge of Barca but the club trailed Real Madrid by 10 points the following campaign. Jaissle, 37, joined Al Ahli from Red Bull Salzburg in 2023 and led them to third in the Saudi Pro League during his debut season, followed by a maiden AFC Champions League title the following campaign.

Clones, sandworms, scrapbooking and other new indie games worth checking out
It's been a big week or so in the video game realm between the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 (our review is now live) and Summer Game Fest. During the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, Microsoft announced handheld gaming PCs that will have deep Xbox integration as well as support for storefronts such as Steam, GOG and Ubisoft Connect. If Microsoft and its partner ASUS stick the landing, the Xbox Ally systems could be a strong option for powering through your backlog of games, big and small. As it happens, you might be about to add more to your wishlist thanks to our latest indie games roundup. The latest Steam Next Fest also started this week. Part of the fun of the event, which runs until June 16, is diving into demos for games you'd never heard of until now, so go forth and play some! You never know if you might be one of the first people to play the next Balatro , for instance. A quick word of advice: if you'd prefer to avoid titles with generative AI, remember that Valve requires developers that use such material in their games or marketing to disclose that on their Steam store page.

The Alters is the latest project from Frostpunk and This War is Mine studio 11 Bit Studios, which self-published this game. As the sole survivor of a space expedition, Jan Dolski has to keep a large mobile base moving across the surface of a planet to avoid the deadly radiation of the sun. To help him solve problems along the way, Jan must create and rely on clones of himself. These alternate versions (or "alters") are based on divergences from pivotal life choices Jan made in his past. They each have their own specialist roles, skill sets and personalities, with needs that have to be fulfilled. The Alters has an interesting premise. Once you factor in elements like traditional survival gameplay and base building, there should be plenty of variety here. Reviews have been positive for this one. I'm interested in trying it out, though it seems like the kind of thing that may prompt one to reflect on their own life choices. The Alters is out now on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. It's on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Dune: Awakening is another major indie game that arrived on Steam this week (well, June 5 for those who bought pricier editions) following a delay. It will hit consoles at a later date. The open-world survival MMO from developer Funcom takes inspiration from Frank Herbert's novels and Denis Villeneuve's films. It still takes place on Arrakis but is set in an alternate timeline. You'll want to be extra careful when it comes to sandworms. You'll keep most of your gear if you die by the hands of other players or other computer-controlled enemies, though you'll drop some resources that you can pick up again if you perish in PvP combat. If a sandworm devours you, though, you'll lose absolutely everything you're carrying. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Oh dear, where to start with MindsEye ? It is fair to say this is a video game that became available to buy this week on Steam, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. It is also fair to say that the debut of this action-adventure title from former GTA producer Leslie Benzies' studio Build A Rocket Boy has been less than smooth. It was already pretty ominous that two executives left Build a Rocket Boy just days before the arrival of MindsEye . After the game's release, Sony reportedly issued refunds to some players as clips showing glitches, bugs, performance issues and clunky gameplay spread. There isn't even an in-game world map. One creator who played the game kept laughing throughout their sponsored stream (the developer is also said to have pulled the plug on another sponsored stream just as it was about to start). That's pretty ironic, considering Build a Rocket Boy co-CEO Mark Gerhard said there was "a concerted effort" against MindsEye and claimed "that there are bot farms posting negative comments and dislikes." The studio claimed this week it was "working around the clock" to improve MindsEye . Perhaps Build A Rocket Boy will surprise everyone and turn things around in a similar fashion to Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky. That seems like a tall order, to say the least.

Indie games aren't all survival and action, of course. They can also be about things like arranging photos in chronological order to discover a family story. Such is the case with Instants from developer Endflame, which debuted on Steam during last Saturday's Wholesome Direct showcase. It's a charming-looking puzzle game in which you can decorate your photo album and, if you need it, get some help from a furry friend.

I've been itching to get my hands on Baby Steps for ages, so after we got a September 8 release date for the game on Steam and PS5, I was very happy that a Steam demo arrived last weekend. This is a walking simulator in the truest sense of the term from Bennett Foddy ( QWOP, Getting Over It ), Gabe Cuzzillo, Maxi Boch (both of whom worked with Foddy on the enjoyable Ape Out ) and publisher Devolver Digital. You use controller triggers or mouse buttons to lift main character Nate's feet one at a time and place them on the ground after using directional buttons or a thumbstick to position them. Nate, "an unemployed failson" who seems very unfamiliar with the skill of walking, will fall over and over and over again as you hike up mountains. Sometimes he'll fall down a muddy ravine, sending him tumbling down the side of a peak. You might want to quit or uninstall the demo after an unfortunate tumble. I understand. I did too. But the early evidence suggests Baby Steps is shaping up to be a uniquely hilarious, frustrating and hopefully rewarding experience. And so we march on.

One of the more compelling reveals for me at the Xbox Games Showcase was a sequel to Planet of Lana, which I enjoyed very much. The follow-up to that story-driven puzzle platformer is Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf . Developer Wishfully and Thunderful Publishing are bringing this installment, which looks just as beautiful as the first game, to Steam, Xbox and PlayStation in 2026. It'll be available on Game Pass on day one. Looking forward to it. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

As a little gecko trying to save their friend, you'll be able to climb on anything while exploring an island. After some delays, this puzzle platformer is set to arrive on Steam, Switch and PlayStation this fall. A demo dropped as part of Steam Next Fest too.

During the various showcases over the last week or so, we saw not one, but two farming/life sims that are squarely in the horror genre. I am excited for them both. First up is Fractured Blooms from Serenity Forge ( Doki Doki Literature Club Plus ). Your character, Angie, is stuck in a time loop and you'll have to manage her food and stamina. You'll tend to her garden and prepare meals before completing evening chores in your home, though you may not be the only entity that resides there. As if I weren't looking forward to this one enough already, Serenity Forge says the seminal TV show Lost was one of its inspirations for Fractured Blooms . There's no release window as yet, but you can wishlist it on Steam if you're interested. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. The other horror-inflected farming sim that caught my eye this week is Grave Seasons , from Perfect Garbage and publisher Blumhouse Games. Sure, you'll harvest crops, go fishing and get to know your neighbors. You might also break and enter into their homes. While the mountain town of Ashenridge might seem idyllic on the surface, beware: there's a supernatural serial killer on the prowl. Grave Seasons is coming to PC and consoles in 2026.

One Steam Next Fest demo I'll certainly be checking out this weekend is for a game called Dispatch, which was announced at The Game Awards in December. This comedic narrative game is about a hero (Aaron Paul) who has run into difficult times after losing his mech suit. He starts working as a superhero dispatcher. You'll "manage a dysfunctional team of misfit heroes and strategize who to send to emergencies around the city, all while balancing office politics, personal relationships and your own quest to become a hero." Dispatch has a stellar cast that also includes Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer and Academy Award nominee Jeffrey Wright. Given that Dispatch is being made by former Telltale developers at AdHoc Studio, it's maybe not too much of a surprise that dialogue choices are a key part of the gameplay, which has some strategic elements as well. Dispatch is coming to PC and consoles later this year.
