Alexandria’s internet providers offer affordable plans with solid speeds -- and for those who need more, multi-gig options are available.

Two new technologies, stacked panels and phosphorescent blues, could further improve OLED's already best-in-class picture quality.

In the end, cybersecurity isn’t just about collecting data. It’s about proving that your defenses actually work.

The trove has now been taken down but included users’ logins for platforms including Apple, Google, and Meta, plus services from multiple governments.

Despite massive investment, the explosion of sophisticated malware and deepfake attacks persists because organizations struggle to verify digital identities and establish fundamental trust.

The FBI has issued a warning about an ongoing malicious text and voice messaging campaign that impersonates senior US officials.

The targets are predominantly current or former US federal or state government officials and their contacts. In the course of this campaign, the cybercriminals have used test messages as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated voice messages.

After establishing contact, the criminals often send targets a malicious link which the sender claims will take the conversation to a different platform. On this messaging platform, the attacker may push malware or introduce hyperlinks that direct targets to a site under the criminals’ control in order to steal login information, like user names and passwords.

The AI-generated audio used in the vishing campaign is designed to impersonate public figures or a target’s friends or family to increase the believability of the malicious schemes. A vishing attack is a type of phishing attack in which a threat actor uses social engineering tactics via voice communication to scam a target—the word “vishing” is a combination of “voice” and “phishing.”

Due to the rapid developments in AI, vishing attacks are becoming more common and more convincing. We have seen reports about callers pretending to be employers, family, and now government officials. What they have in common is that they are after information they can use to steal money or sensitive information from the victim.

How to stay safe

Because these campaigns are very sophisticated and targeted, it’s important to stay vigilant. Some recommendations:

• Independently verify the identity of the person contacting you, via a different method.
• Carefully examine the origin of the message. The criminals typically use software to generate phone numbers that are not attributed to a specific mobile phone or subscriber.
• Listen closely to the tone and word choice of the caller. Do they match those of the person allegedly calling you? And pay attention to any kind of voice call lag time.
• AI-generated content has advanced to the point that it is often difficult to identify. When in doubt about the authenticity of someone wishing to communicate with you, contact your relevant security officials or the FBI for help.

If you believe you have been the victim of the campaign described above, contact your relevant security officials and report the incident to your local FBI Field Office or the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at www.ic3.gov. Be sure to include as much detailed information as possible.

Disclaimer: I haven’t watched all the talks, and I usually tune in for the web stuff and main keynotes, so I’m genuinely asking: what was your experience? Like, for Android or Cloud, except for AI(more on that below).

Regarding the web stuff I remember the 2024 edition being more exciting, I can't help but feel disappointed and a bit sad about this year's edition. Let me explain. In general I feel like it was less content, except for AI, compared to previous editions, for example, where was Flutter? Flow presentation was astonishing and scary at the same time, but I understand the importance of AI myself, they’re not only doubling down on that but they also want to tell the world they’re at the top of the game, I get that. But other than that, it seemed mostly an “empty” event for me, nothing new on the web stuff that I didn’t already know about, and it’s uninteresting because it’s been available exclusively to Chrome for a while. And no, continuing to stress how important Baseline is won’t make it more useful(my strong opinion). Finally pushing down AI on everything from Web APIs(risking strong lock-in) and on the already excellent developer tools, makes absolutely no sense to me. So all in all it felt a bit stagnant and, sad cherry on top, I discovered through a user comment that one of the guys on the Chrome team wasn’t there presenting because he was laid off(Adam Argyle). What do you guys think? How was your experience?
