Utah is also known for rising cybercrime, and you could be targeted in public WiFi in hotels and cafes. The best way to avoid these issues in Utah is with a VPN, but I had to test almost 80 VPNs to find the best ones for the state that can bypass its age verification law. ExpressVPN is the best for Utah because it has blazing-fast speeds, unblocks sites easily, and prioritizes your privacy....
I’ve ensured that the VPNs on this list all work with a minimum of 5 simultaneous device connections on a single purchase without any dramatic decrease in speed. The top choice is ExpressVPN, which is consistently fast even with 5 devices connected. But don’t just take my word for it — thanks to its money-back guarantee, you can see for yourself and try it risk-free for 30* days. Editor’s Note: Transparency is one of our core values at WizCase, so you should know we are in the same ownership group as ExpressVPN....

Editor’s Note: We value our relationship with our readers, and we strive to earn your trust through transparency and integrity....

National Design Studio replaces Elon Musk’s DOGE office. “America by Design” initiative will run for three years. Gebbia shifted from Democratic donor to Trump ally in 2024. Trump signed an executive order on Thursday creating the studio, saying it was “time to fill the digital potholes across our Nation” and to “update the Government’s design language to be both usable and beautiful,” as reported by Business Insider....
Rust is a modern and powerful programming language, this version was designed to attack ESXi servers—specialized systems used in virtualized computing. Rust’s complex structure makes analyzing Akira ransomware challenging for researchers. Akira v2 relies on pre-written libraries, aiding researchers in understanding its code. Rust’s popularity is rising among cybercriminals due to flexibility and cross-platform capabilities. Security researchers from Check Point (CP) took a deep dive into how Akira v2 works....
According to Reuter’s report, five anonymous sources familiar with the matter have confirmed that the company is developing a new device to optimize and ease the delivery process by guiding the drivers with accurate directions to the client’s door. The smart glasses are expected to provide detailed navigation on an embedded screen at every stop, during the routes, and even within buildings. The technology would reduce the delivery time by helping workers avoid obstacles—even aggressive dogs and gates—and save a few seconds at every stop....

In my analyses, I learned that Bitdefender and AVG are equally effective at malware detection and removal. However, Bitdefender is better in many categories. It offers affordable pricing, more features, a privacy-focused VPN, and other highlights that make it worthwhile. In conclusion, Bitdefender emerged as the better antivirus. It’s better suited to protect all your devices against every cyber threat. Plus, its responsive customer support is available 24/7 to help you with any issues....
To infect a Windows device, it uses a command-line utility program called runas.exe that allows users to execute programs as another user with different permissions. This helps it to gain administrative access by bypassing security to collect any personal data of the user. However, the malware has been failing in its attempt to use this tool. Microsoft’s strict access control mitigation prevents unauthorized use of this function as appropriate credentials are required to execute administrative-level actions....
I spent weeks testing the most talked-about VPNs to find the ones that work in the UK. I looked at speeds on local servers, unblocking ability for BBC iPlayer and Netflix, and how each one handles privacy under pressure. Only 5 passed all of my tests. ExpressVPN stood out as the most reliable choice overall. It offers fast speeds, top-notch security and privacy, and a global server network. Plus, it has a 30*-day money-back guarantee, so first-time users can test it risk-free....
The report raises concerns about the inclusivity and fairness of the standard-setting process, which underpins the EU’s newly approved AI Act. Over half of JTC21 members represent corporate or consultancy interests, not civil society. Corporations prioritize light AI regulations, undermining safeguards for fundamental rights. Civil society and academia struggle to participate in AI standard-setting due to barriers. The AI Act, which became law in August 2024, adopts a risk-based approach, categorising AI systems by risk levels....

I tested several VPNs to find the best ones for mobile devices to make sure you can browse, pay bills, and send messages safely without using too much data. Some VPNs reduced my baseline speeds too much to have high-quality video calls, but I found a few very good ones.

Rime Labs built natural-sounding text-to-voice for Domino’s. Earlier robotic voices caused 50% of callers to hang up....
I found via tests that ESET and Kaspersky are equally effective at finding and removing malware. However, Kaspersky is better for comprehensive security as it offers more features, a built-in VPN, and more. So, while there could be some privacy concerns that we’ll cover in the article, it’s still the superior antivirus for overall protection. ESET also has strengths like how lightweight it is and its impressive malware detection scores, but I advise getting Kaspersky if you want airtight security....
