Relentless hackers abandon Windows to target your Apple ID

If there’s one thing that has become clear over the past year, it’s that Apple devices are not as secure as the company wants you to believe.  We’re four months into 2025 and there have already been over 10 instances in which attackers specifically targeted Apple users, and these are just the incidents we know of. I’ll admit no device is foolproof, but there seems to be a growing trend where bad actors prefer targeting Apple users over other platforms. In fact, security researchers have recently identified a new phishing campaign in which hackers, who previously focused on Windows, are now setting their sights on Apple IDs.

Humanoid robot stuns with perfect side-flip acrobatics

Robots aren't just efficient machines anymore, they are now agile performers that can flip and jog.  Take, for instance, Unitree, a Chinese robotics company that has been making headlines with its incredible G1 humanoid robot. You might have seen it  dancing alongside humans or remembered its predecessor, the H1, which stunned us with a backflip using electric motors.  But now, the G1 has taken things to a whole new level. It has mastered the side flip. STAY PROTECTED & INFORMED!

Well, they've taken it up a notch with the G1. This little dynamo, which is approximately 4 feet, 3 inches tall, isn't just following in its predecessor's footsteps. It's leaping right over them sideways. H1 robot doing a...

FBI warns about new extortion scam targeting sensitive data

Ransomware is a major threat to every industry. In recent years, hackers have increasingly targeted companies with ransomware, locking their data unless a ransom is paid. In some cases, they also threaten to leak the stolen data online if the company refuses to comply, as seen in the UnitedHealth breach, where hackers reportedly demanded $22 million.  However, ransomware attacks are not limited to companies.  According to the latest FBI warning , they also target employees, particularly corporate executives.  The agency cautions that cybercriminals are sending extortion letters, threatening to release victims' sensitive information unless a ransom is paid.

Google’s new AI tech may know when your house will burn down

Wildfires are becoming an increasingly common threat worldwide. Record-breaking burns from Australia to the Amazon to the United States are devastating the environment. The deadly wildfires that raged across Los Angeles in January were estimated to have caused more than $250 billion in damages. Current satellite imagery is often low resolution, infrequently updated and unable to detect small fires. But what if there was a way to spot wildfires earlier and more accurately before they become raging infernos? Enter FireSat, a new satellite project designed to detect and track wildfires early . How early? The project aims to detect a fire that's merely 270 square feet – about the size of a classroom – within 20 minutes. It's also able to detect fires two to three acres in size, roughly the size of two football fields. STAY PROTECTED & INFORMED!

New phishing attack uses real-time interception to bypass 2FA

Phishing attacks are everywhere, and most of us can spot the obvious ones. Even if someone falls for one and hands over their password, two-factor authentication (2FA) usually adds a crucial layer of protection. But a new phishing kit making the rounds can bypass 2FA entirely by using session hijacking and real-time credential interception. Known as Astaroth, this tool intercepts and manipulates traffic between your device and legitimate authentication services like Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft. Since it grabs everything in real time, it completely bypasses 2FA and gives attackers full access to your account. Stay protected & informed!
