Outlook, Office 2007 slowly taken behind the shed, shots heard
A decade after their release, Microsoft Office 2007 and Outlook 2007 today fell out of extended support. Gaze teary-eyed at your installation discs. The software has entered the Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul.
The cutoff has been coming for some time, of course, but if you're of a nostalgic bent, the Outlook 2007 epitaph is here, and the somewhat longer (with more dates to absorb) Office 2007 farewell is here.
With extended support ending for both 2007-era families, no new features, bug fixes, security patches, nor support, will be available in future for the programs.

Researchers Reveal Critical KRACK Flaws in WPA WiFi Security
The WPA2 protocol which is widely used to secure WiFi traffic is at risk from multiple vulnerabilities, collectively referred to as "KRACK Attacks" that were publicly disclosed on Oct. 16
"Attackers can use this novel attack technique to read information that was previously assumed to be safely encrypted," the vulnerability disclosure warns."The attack works against all modern protected Wi-Fi networks."
KRACK is an acronym for Key Reinstallation Attacks, which were discovered by security research Mathy Vanhoef and Frank Piessens working at Belgian University KU Leuven. The researchers have disclosed the details of the KRACK attack in a research paper and plan on discussing it further in talks at the Computer and Communications Security (CCS) and Black Hat Europe conferences later this year.
