However, with all of this change, there is one common denominator, and it too is evolving at a very rapid pace as well: The mindset of the Cyber attacker. For example, they seem to be launching brand new threats and attacks on an almost daily basis, even faster than the pace of technological change just discussed. In the past few decades, the Cyber attacker could be counted on doing one thing: Launching attacks on a large scale, and hoping to penetrate a system, somewhere and somehow....

In this article, I would like to explain comprehensively why biometric characteristics don’t work for authenticating with information systems, and why they do work on personal devices. Although we live in the age of Big Data, we still cannot ensure accurate biometric authentication via backend services. The main reason simply comes down to the volume of data. The thing is, the commonplace username-password combo tends to be 30-60 characters long, which is a negligible amount of data to transmit over the Internet....

This week, a somewhat mysterious startup, called Grayshift, has announced that it has leading-edge software capable of unlocking any iPhone.

However, the threats to which the devices are exposed make the work of the Apple brand quite complicated due to the increasingly sophisticated methods that try to penetrate the layers of applied security....

The social network giant Facebook wants to take action and there is no doubt, in fact, it will now be much more stringent with the content to be public. Specifically, the statement indicates that the type of content that will not be monetized will be those that expose some type of violence, regardless of context. Yes, now you will have to be more careful about what you publish since it will not matter that you try to create a social conscientious company, but it should not contain any element that can represent the violence in the least....
One such product is the Nitecore VCL10 car charger. I’ve had this for a few years, and I’ve overlooked it because it lives in my car, and I always forget to bring it indoors. Also: The best wireless car chargers “Not another car charger!” I hear you say. After all, I do like my car chargers. But this is a car charger that I keep in my car less for charging – although it’s a decent enough charger – but more because it’s a great safety tool to have when I’m out and about....
Previously, we covered some key facts about the EU AI Act: who it applies to, when it will be enacted, and what it’s about. We embarked on this exploration alongside Mozilla Foundation’s Executive Director Mark Surman and Senior Policy Researcher Maximilian Gahntz. As Surman shared, Mozilla’s focus on AI came about around the same time the EU AI Act started its lifecycle too – circa 2019. Mozilla has worked with people around the world to map out a theory of how to make AI more trustworthy, focusing on two long term outcomes: agency and accountability....
Earlier this week, the Samsung fan site SamMobile published a list of devices that would and would not get updated to the next version of Android. As expected, every high end phone to come out in 2012 is due to get the update. The two year old Galaxy S II however, it’s only going to get Android 4.2.2. After that, it’s not going to receive any support. For some strange reason, a lot of you are pissed off by this....
“You’re familiar with the hype cycle, right?” he asked ZDNET last week, ahead of the company’s annual event, Autodesk University. For those who are not familiar with it, the “peak hype” phase is followed by a “trough of disillusionment”. Nevertheless, Autodesk is all-in on the concept of the metaverse. The company makes software widely used by “makers” – that includes architects and engineers, product designers and manufacturers, as well as media and entertainment professionals....
I compared the 2020 iPad Air with the 2022 version not too long ago, with my main takeaway being that the new improvements are only incremental. Pulled directly from my comparison, “…if you can live without the connectivity quirks (5G) and just want a no-frills, iPadOS experience, then save yourself the money and stick with the iPad Air (2020)”. Also: iPad Air (2020) vs. iPad Air (2022) That’s because even though the 2022 iPad Air supports 5G and is powered by Apple’s M1 chipset, the A14 Bionic on the 2020 iPad Air is just as capable for daily tasks like social media browsing, emailing, watching videos, and doing other large screen things....
If it’s not infected, something else is causing the problem. It could be something less devious than a virus, like a glitch built into the gadget itself. That could be what’s happening right now with a bunch of popular Android devices. A bug is causing their batteries to drain super fast. Is your device losing power faster than normal? If you’re an Android fan there’s a good chance you have multiple devices within its ecosystem....
