Consequently, Russian users will no longer have access to AdSense, a platform that enables website and content owners, including YouTube creators, to generate revenue through Google-managed ad placements. According to Reuters, Google’s move comes after a recent slowdown in YouTube’s performance in Russia. This has drawn criticism from Russian lawmakers. They argue that the slowdown is due to Google’s failure to upgrade its infrastructure in the country since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine....

First published: Oct 27, 2021 Updated 2 times since publishing That’s when I started looking for a more comprehensive solution and came across the Gryphon Mesh Wi-Fi router. The Gryphon Mesh System is much more than just a router or Wi-Fi extender. It’s a robust online security tool that enforces parental control features at a network level. Meaning; any device connected to my Wi-Fi can be assigned a Managed Device and be subjected to the parental control features....

The group, known as Massgrave, announced the new feature, called TSforge, as part of their Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS) project. According to their blog post, Hackers released a tool to bypass Microsoft’s Windows and Office activation system. The tool, TSforge, manipulates activation data to insert fake activation records. Windows doesn’t recheck activation data once marked as activated. TSforge is one of the most powerful activation exploits they have ever developed, allowing users to bypass Microsoft’s built-in security protections....

First detected in November 2023, the unknown hackers dubbed ‘’ResumeLooters’’ by the Singapore-based Group-IB, harvested data from 65 websites between November-December 2023. By using SQL injection technique (SQLi) and cross-site scripting (XSS) infections into a few websites, the gang was discovered selling the extracted data on “Chinese-speaking, hacking-themed Telegram groups.” ‘’ResumeLooters tried inserting XSS scripts into all possible web forms of the targeted websites, hoping they would display phishing forms to obtain admin credentials,’’ Group-IB disclosed....

The Trellix research team identified a new cyberattack named “OneClik” which uses sophisticated methods to infiltrate energy and oil and gas companies’ security systems. The attackers use phishing emails to deliver attacks which use the Microsoft ClickOnce application to deceive users into installing harmful software through a fake hardware analysis tool. The victim opens the link which triggers the download of a fake tool before ‘‘dfsvc.exe’’ runs it. The legitimate Windows process accepts hidden malware through advanced programming techniques....

A VPN can change your IP address if a hotel rate is higher in your region. Using a different IP address also prevents booking sites from increasing prices when you make the same search again. Remember, however, that this is against most booking platform’s terms of service. After testing 50+ VPNs, I find that ExpressVPN is the best VPN for booking hotels quickly at a good rate. It offers fast connections and a huge network, making it ideal for browsing and booking....

When traveling abroad, it can be challenging to stay updated with Cuban news on Telesur or access Cuban content on streaming sites you pay for. However, by using a VPN, you can continue to stay connected to life in Cuba, even from outside the country. Many VPNs that claim to access Cuban sites and services fall short, either failing to access local content or lacking the necessary speeds and security features for activities like online shopping and watching HD videos....

A VPN can give you a Philippines IP address to access networks like TFC and ANC from anywhere. VPN apps can also access Philippines content libraries on global platforms like Netflix. Plus, a VPN protects your data from hackers, cyberspies, and other third parties. After testing over 40 VPNs, I found that ExpressVPN was the best. As well as reliable unblocking capabilities, it has super-fast speeds and the strongest security and privacy features....

After testing the best VPNs on the market, I found that CyberGhost is the best VPN to get a United Arab Emirates IP address.

With its 45-day money-back guarantee, you can try CyberGhost yourself risk-free. If you’re not satisfied after trying, it’s super easy to get a refund....

However, you can get back into all your accounts with a VPN. This gives you an Argentinian IP address and unblocks local websites — but most VPN providers don’t have fast or reliable servers in Argentina. I had to test over 15 VPNs to find a few that worked well. ExpressVPN is my favorite VPN for getting an Argentinian IP address — it has the fastest speeds and the best security features for using the Argentinian web....

Webhelper can give hackers remote access to your computer. It records your keystrokes, steals your confidential data, and bombards you with annoying pop-up ads. You can get this virus by opening links in scam emails, clicking dodgy ads online, and using fake or infected torrent clients. Fortunately, though, it’s not that difficult to remove Webhelper from your system, but you can’t do it without a decent antivirus like Norton 360....

Hundreds arrested using facial recognition technology without awareness of its use. Over 1,000 cases revealed police concealed reliance on facial recognition. Federal law does not require disclosure of facial recognition technology usage. The investigation uncovered more than 1,000 criminal cases across 15 states where police failed to disclose their reliance on the technology, often masking its role by attributing suspect identification to “investigative means” or witnesses. This lack of transparency raises concerns about fairness, particularly as facial recognition software has been shown to be prone to errors, especially in identifying people of color....

This activity is part of a prolonged and ongoing operation called Operation Dream Job, which has now been linked to the group. The discovery is significant as it represents the first instance in which the Lazarus Group has publicly utilized Linux malware as part of this social engineering campaign. The revelation is critical for security professionals, as it highlights the evolving tactics of this notorious threat actor. Mandiant’s investigation into the 3CX breach, previously attributed to North Korean-affiliated threat actors, confirms that the breach was due to the installation of trojanized trading software in another supply chain attack....

I was impressed with how well they both performed, but McAfee outperformed Panda in most cases. McAfee not only offers excellent malware detection rates but is also more feature-rich. Both options have their strengths and offer 30-day money-back guarantees. McAfee is superior in terms of features and threat detection, but Panda is great if you want a free plan with a reliable virus scanner. Secure your devices with McAfee...

This story came out days after Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson requested OpenAI clarify how the Sky chatbot voice, which sounds eerily like her own, was developed.

The announcement reveals that several threads of the brain implant had retracted from Noland Arbaugh’s brain, the 29-year-old quadriplegic participant. The problem led to a decrease in the amount of data that was retrieved during research and testing. The retracted threads also resulted in reduced bits-per-second (BPS), which is used to measure the speed and accuracy with which a patient can control a computer cursor. A higher BPS score means better cursor control....

This change, part of the Department of Health and Social Care’s 2023-2030 cyber security strategy, aims to bring health and care in line with cyber resilience standards used in other sectors. Starting 2 September 2024, the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit will begin transitioning from the NDG’s 10 data security standards to the National Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF) as its core assessment framework.
