The rise of AI hallucinations and growing cybersecurity concerns haven’t stopped chatbots from expanding—and gaining the trust of millions of users around the world. People now use reliable and intelligent chatbots daily for countless tasks, including emotional support and handling deeply human matters. “I can’t imagine my life without ChatGPT anymore,” said a friend of mine—half joking, half serious—after telling me he’s been using it as a therapist, too. He’s not the only one....

Just a few days ago, the actor Woody Harrelson went viral for saying that he ditched his phone three years ago. Harrelson explained that he did it because he was addicted to his phone and was having difficulties setting limits for his screen time. “Back then I was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to set this limit. Two hours,’” said Harrelson on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name show. “I’ve already hit my limit at 9:30 am, so I woke up, and I’ve been on it two hours already because it can just keep going and going....

I assessed both competitors across 15 different aspects, and Norton excelled in nearly every category. It was disheartening to observe that PC Matic lacked fundamental features such as a firewall, password manager, and parental controls. Norton is my top recommendation even against other top competitors like McAfee. It provides perfect real-time protection, an advanced firewall, and a bunch of useful extras like cloud storage that most other antiviruses don’t. You can test Norton out for yourself with its 60-day money-back guarantee....

WIRED reports that the security firm Midnight Blue found that some radios implementing “end-to-end encryption” (E2EE), endorsed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), compress a secure 128-bit key down to only 56 bits. The reduced key size enables attackers to easily decode communications. Police and military radios use weak 56-bit keys instead of 128-bit. Vulnerability allows attackers to send fake or replayed messages. Flaw affects TETRA-based radios in Europe, Middle East, and beyond....

“It’s going to be a new product, it’s going to be new experiences,” said Amon. “But what I really expect to come out of this partnership, I want everyone that has a phone to go buy companion glasses to go along with it.” According to the CEO, the experience of wearing the new smart glasses will be very similar to wearing sunglasses or regular eyeglasses, only that it will be listening and “seeing” everything the users see and do....

Last Updated: Aug 1, 2025 From my experience, Rocket VPN is an average provider that doesn’t offer anything interesting. Whether it’s security, speed, streaming capacity, or anything else, Rocket VPN won’t blow you away. The lack of details about its security implementation, lack of a kill switch, and limited server network doesn’t make it stand out. If you want to test out the VPN for free, you have the option to use the free version for as long as you wish without having to purchase a premium subscription....

According to CNBC, SpaceX shared a livestream on its website and on social media showing the spacecraft’s first and second stages exploding, the latter one after a fuel leak caused it to lose control. SpaceX’s uncrewed Starship rocket exploded during a test flight this Tuesday. This is the third failed test flight of the Starship program this year. The debris fell into the Atlantic Ocean, and there were no injuries or damage to public property....

Last Updated: Apr 7, 2025 Even though its virus scans and real-time security provide effective basic protection, I found that Surfshark Antivirus lacks many features you’ll find in top antiviruses. It’s missing a firewall, ransomware protection, and some other features. However, since you get it as part of the Surfshark One bundle, you get helpful tools like ID monitoring, Surfshark Search, and a VPN. So, while it doesn’t provide unbreakable security the way top security apps like Norton do, Surfshark is great for basic protection....

“If you’re not able to self-moderate, it’s endless,” O’Rourke, a 38-year-old IT worker from Dublin, told WIRED. “You’re not going to win; you’re not going to see the end of the party,” he added.

The university’s investigation into the attack found no evidence of financial fraud or identity theft, and it assured faculty and students that it was safe to use its resources.

The cybercriminals used the system to send out text messages and emails, threatening to leak personal data unless a ransom demand was paid. The university has not disclosed whether it paid the ransom or not....

Last Updated: Aug 6, 2025 If you’re looking for a straightforward VPN that’s cheap, doesn’t keep activity logs, can access a bunch of stubborn services (like Netflix, Hulu, and BBC iPlayer, etc.), and permits P2P without any restrictions, then ZenVPN is the one for you. ZenVPN sprung from Dominica in 2013 to provide a jumble of security features enough to browse the Internet securely and privately with support for multiple protocols (OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec, and PPTP) and ultra-simple clients for various platforms (Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Linux and Android)....

According to research from Koi Security, 18 extensions in a campaign dubbed RedDirection secretly hijacked browsers, tracked user activities, and enabled additional attacks through trusted interfaces. Malware was hidden in verified and featured extensions with legitimate functions. Malware silently installed through updates after years of clean operation. Extensions hijacked browsers, tracked activity, and redirected users to fake sites. The main extension responsible for the security breach was “Color Picker, Eyedropper — Geco colorpick....
