I may have never seen them. I may have seen one but imagined I didn’t. Or, I may not have even considered that a certain concept was something people might pay money – even a lot of money – for. I was, therefore, arrested beyond reason when I received a PR rep’s email entitled: “Cool Gadget For Creating Patterned Ice Cubes: The Ice Designer.” Also: This is the perfect mini electric screwdriver The search results melted out of the page....

As hybrid working becomes more popular with companies and workers alike, it’s safe to assume that a combination of remote and in-office work will be the ’new’ way of doing business. In 2022, hybrid job postings increased by 53% in the technology industry and 15% in the banking and investments industries, suggesting that highly skilled professionals continue to dictate how and where they work. The study found that companies like Microsoft and JP Morgan Chase were among the key recruiters for hybrid-working models which, if done correctly, can be a win-win for companies and employees....

According to analysis by cybersecurity researchers at WatchGuard, the second quarter of this year saw an overall 23% increase in malware attacks against browsers – Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer – compared with the previous quarter. Much of that increase has been driven by a rise in cyberattacks on Chrome: according to the WatchGuard Threat Lab Internet Security Report, attacks targeting Google’s browser have increased by 50%. Browsers are of interest to hackers because they’re key to how we use the internet – entering and storing information including passwords, cookies, and even credit card details....

Unfortunately, they started out a little chunky and expensive, and it took far longer than expected to remedy both of those issues. Fortunately, you can now get an affordable, fully-featured user-friendly digital stylus for $39.99. Also: The 5 best stylus tablets Rated 5 stars in our store, the Digi Pen has a 1....

Of course, it’s tough and broad and overwhelming just to set out to buy a piece of art. Where do you start? You can walk into a gallery and face works priced in the thousands without any idea of their actual value. You can also walk into a thrift shop and find old pieces for dollars, worn and torn. For a middle ground of fresh, new quality that’s still affordable – check out Fine Art America....

Going back to wireless charging that doesn’t use magnets to align the charger with the device being charged feels like a step backwards. That’s how you know a technology is truly useful. Combine MagSafe with a power bank, and this gives you the ability to use wireless charging when on the move. As you might be able to guess, Apple makes a MagSafe power bank. But at $99 it’s vastly overpriced....

Prometheus ransomware first emerged in February this year and not only do the criminals behind it encrypt networks and demand a ransom for the decryption key, they also use double extortion tactics and will threaten to leak stolen data if their demands for cryptocurrency aren’t met. Analysis by cybersecurity researchers at Palo Alto Networks details how, like many ransomware operations in 2021, the group runs like a professional enterprise, even going so far as to refer to victims of cyberattacks as “customers” and communicating with them via a ticketing system....

The Mespinoza ransomware group – also known as PYSA – demands millions of dollars in exchange for a decryption key and threatens to publish private information stolen from the compromised network if the victims don’t pay. Mespinoza has claimed victims around the world, but focuses predominantly on the United States, where it has targeted organisations in manufacturing, retail, engineering, education and government. The cybercrime group has become so prolific that the FBI issued a warning about attacks....

As previewed earlier this year during the Google I/O conference, My Ad Center allows you to tell Google whether you’d like to see more or fewer ads on a certain topic – or even no personalized ads at all. Previously, turning off personalized ads within Google required limiting the functionality of its products. “In the past, if your YouTube History was on, it automatically informed how your ads were personalized,” Google VP Jerry Dischler wrote in a blog post....

Also known as the onion router, the network is used to circumvent censorship and is widely accessed by civil rights activists, whistleblowers, lawyers, human rights defenders, and those under oppressive regimes. On Monday, the network developers said an appeal has been filed regarding a decision by the Saratov District Court to impose a block on the torproject.org website in Russia....

The social media platform explained in a blog post that the account sets that have been removed include eight “distinct operations” that can be attributed to China, Mexico, Russia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Venezuela. “Every account and piece of content associated with these operations has been permanently removed from the service,” Twitter said. Listing out the operations, the majority of accounts removed in this round of purges were linked to China, with over 2,000 of them amplifying Chinese Communist Party narratives related to the treatment of the Uyghur population in Xinjiang....

Two-factor authentication (2FA) – or multi-factor authentication (MFA) as it’s alternatively known – is one of the key methods that individual users and wider organisations can use to help protect their online accounts from being hacked, even if their login credentials have been leaked or stolen. However, according to the DCMS Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2022, only around third of organisations have any requirement for two-factor authentication on user accounts – the figure stands at 37% for businesses and 31% for charities....

During November and December, Uniti picked up Telstra Velocity for AU$140 million, paid AU$9.25 million for Harbour ISP, and ended the saga to acquire Opticomm.

The company said this trend would continue as it now has a fibre-to-the-premise order book that increases to over 250,000 lines....

Many businesses had to swiftly introduce working from home at the start of the pandemic, with employees becoming reliant on cloud services including Remote Desktop Protocols (RDP), Virtual Private Networks (VPN) and application suites like Microsoft Office 365 or Google Workspace. While this allowed employees to continue doing their jobs outside the traditional corporate network, it has also increased the potential attack surface for cyber criminals. Malicious hackers are able to exploit the reduced level of monitoring activity, while successfully compromising credentials – that are used to remotely login to cloud services – provides a stealthy route into corporate environments....
