Cyber-attack The airline states that they have become the victim of a cyber-attack. They have reported that they were “the target of an attack from a highly sophisticated source”.

Virtual private networks (VPNs) let you redirect your internet connection through different servers, plenty of which are located abroad.

Last year, around this time, I was fully immersed in Edward Snowden’s Permanent Record, an excellent pick for anyone interested in privacy and state surveillance. After having ticked off a couple of bestsellers and even some of the classics (1984, grade 10 reading, anyone?), I really want to dive into some 2022 releases on data, privacy, and security. It never hurts to add more books to the list, right? So, without further ado, here are five new cybersecurity books I can’t wait to read....

A few years ago, we identified a problem with the way authentication is handled today. Even though cybersecurity is a large market with many products, password credentials are still the predominant authentication method out there, with phishing attempts targeting these credentials becoming bigger by the day.

As with any major city, there are countless things to do....

Soon after the hackers stole the tokens, the platform froze all its smart contracts and the AUDIO token. In a post mortem report, Audius said that the smart contract was audited twice, in 2020 and 2021 — though neither audit picked up on the vulnerability.
