5G is the next upgrade to the telecommunications network. It is much faster than 4G and has very low latency, as well. As a result, 5G will be used to connect millions of ‘Internet of Technology’ devices and power smart cities and homes. Artificial Intelligence refers to a computer or machine’s ability to replicate human thinking. AI is classified into either “general AI,” which is an advanced computer with a human-like mind and “narrow AI,” which enables a machine to perform certain tasks very well (like self-driving cars)....

Although it’s not 100% free, ExpressVPN doesn’t limit you like the free VPNs do. It reliably unblocks 20+ Netflix libraries and has unlimited data....

Agent Tesla’s Evolution Agent Tesla is a malware-as-a-service Remote Access Trojan (RAT) that has been commercially available on the dark web since 2014. It is used by cybercriminals to steal credentials and other information through keylogging, screenshots and capturing clipboard contents. The trojan is generally spread through phishing campaigns involving emails containing malicious attachments or links. The email accounts used for these campaigns are often legitimate accounts that have been compromised....

The Albanian government has ordered Iranian diplomats to leave the country. Albania’s decision is possibly the strongest public response to a cyberattack in history. Last month, cybersecurity firm Mandiant published its findings on the cyberattack. Mandiant said it had “moderate confidence that one or multiple threat actors who have operated in support of Iranian goals are involved.” The U.S. National Security Council has strongly condemned Iran for the cyberattack, and has voiced support for Albania’s decision....

According to Bloomberg, this mishap took place in the middle of last year. As a result, both Apple and Meta gave the hackers user information such as IP addresses, phone numbers, and home addresses. Officials investigating the matter said that scam began in January 2021. Over the next several months, the hackers took over law enforcement accounts in multiple countries and targeted multiple companies with fake requests. Fake Emergency Requests Becoming More Common When law enforcement officials investigate crimes they often ask social media platforms for information that might assist their investigation....

We found several fake ChatGPT apps designed for iPhones and Android devices. Most of these apps are purportedly built on GPT-3, an autoregressive language model created by OpenAI, which is publicly available. OpenAI released ChatGPT to the public on November 30, 2022. By December 4, it already had over one million users. Currently, the service is only available on the web. While ChatGPT is free at the moment, OpenAI is reportedly working on a premium version of the service....

It was only recently, when series 2 was launched, that I stumbled across the television show, and I’m glad I did. I recently wrote an article about the privacy risks of facial recognition technology (FRT), so when I saw the show, the topic grabbed my attention immediately. The Capture is a not-too-unrealistic look into the potential abuses of FRT that should terrify us all. The show follows a DCI (a UK police detective) as she investigates an assault and kidnapping....

An investigation into the incident is currently ongoing.

He did not name the group behind the incident. “We’re not happy at all,” McCraw said. “Controls should have been in place and this should have never happened....

As a result, many unsuspecting victims will buy the currency, causing the price to rise drastically. This is the “pump phase.” After this, the “dump phase” follows, during which the scammers sell off all their crypto and disappear with the victim’s money. There are a few signs that can help you recognize a pump and dump scheme, such as: A new and unknown cryptocurrency starts receiving a lot of attention on social media....

Now, it appears cybercriminals are also flocking to Telegram to share and discuss massive data leaks exposing millions of people to unprecedented levels of online fraud, hacking, and attack. vpnMentor’s cybersecurity research team joined several cybercrime-focused Telegram groups and channels to learn more about how and why the app has become so popular amongst hackers and threat actors. We discovered a vast network disseminating data leaks and dumps amongst 1,000s of people and openly discussing how to exploit them in various criminal enterprises....

Oahu Transport Services (OTS), a private contractor, was the target of the attack. It manages several public transportation services in Honolulu. On Thursday, December 9, OTS faced a cyberattack that shut down its online servers. The attack has affected the websites as well as real-time location services of TheBus and TheHandi-Van.

How Did it Happen The German state of NRW built a website to distribute coronavirus relief funding. However, unlike other German states that required proof of identity before making funding payments, the NRW did not do this. Some German states who have created similar websites, have asked users to download a form and mail it in with documents to prove their identity. Other states have asked users to upload scanned documents to their website to prove their identity....

A sample of the database posted on the dark web includes the emails and phone numbers of Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, SpaceX, the US Department of the Interior, and the World Health Organization (WHO), to name a few. It is impossible to verify the authenticity of the information at this time. However, cybersecurity intelligence company Hudson Rock said it is a “credible threat....

If you search Netflix’s US library, you’ll notice it has far more content than any other region. But, unless you live in the States, you won’t be able to watch any of it. This is because Netflix uses geoblocks to control which content is available in different regions. BBC iPlayer uses a similar technology. But, unlike Netflix, iPlayer prevents users outside the UK streaming any of its content at all....

It’s not safe to be without a VPN for long, though; every time you connect to the internet, your information is vulnerable. That’s why I recommend Cyberghost as a low-cost alternative. It’s not as fast as ExpressVPN, but is still speedy enough for smooth streaming and browsing. Plus, it offers a longer money-back guarantee (with its long-term plan), so you can try out its features at a comfortable pace. To ensure that you get your money back from ExpressVPN, be sure to cancel your existing subscription within the money-back period....
