The other day, I posted yet another blog about Cochrane’s deeply flawed 2019 review of exercise therapy for what it called chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and the organization’s decision last December to abandon a planned update.

On Monday afternoon, a bunch of people in Terminal 4 at Heathrow, London’s biggest airport, reported feeling ill.

In a new paper, a team of investigators from the University of South Australia in Adelaide, Australia, describes a “pilot feasibility” trial for an ME/CFS intervention focused on physical activity.

There are always bad actors who will seek to get access to and, likely, exfiltrate (exfil) the data. But they don't want to get caught; they don't want to tip off the fact that they are doing such actions.

On August 6, 2025, Microsoft announced a vulnerability with hybrid deployments because of a shared service principal between the Exchange on-premises deployment and Exchange Online. The vulnerability is found in the on-premises side. Basically, if a threat actor can gain administrative rights to an on-premises Exchange server, they can privilege escalate to the cloud environment through that shared service principal.| Databases – Infrastructure – Security

It’s been five years, more or less, since the start of the coronavirus pandemic–and the subsequent wave of Long Covid. I spoke earlier today with Jaime Seltzer, #MEAction’s scientific director, about how early links were forged between advocates for people with ME and those experiencing what became known as Long Covid, what we’ve learned since, and where things are now. Seltzer was included on Time magazine’s list of the 100 “most influential people in health in 2024.”| Trial By Error
