Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a rising trend of cybercriminals combining voice phishing (vishing) with OTP (One-Time Password) grabber services to enhance their malicious activities, according to a report from CloudSEK, a cybersecurity firm. Vishing involves manipulating individuals into disclosing sensitive information over the phone. The human interaction in vishing attacks adds a convincing element, making victims more likely to trust the caller. Attackers employ sophisticated techniques, such as interactive voice response (IVR) systems, authentic voice recordings, or even real-time calls that appear to be from a trusted company. Victims are skillfully manipulated into revealing their one-time passwords, usually delivered via…
The UK government has officially confirmed it will piggyback on a transatlantic data transfer deal between the European Union and the US by bolting on an extension which it’s dubbed the “UK-US data bridge”. Back in June the UK and US reached an agreement in principle over this arrangement. Today the UK government confirmed that secretary of state, Michelle Donelan, has moved forward with the deal — which is intended to grease digital commerce by allowing for UK citizens’ information to be exported to the US under an assurance of adequate levels of protection for people’s information, in line with the…
Microsoft has confirmed a significant error made by its artificial intelligence researchers, resulting in the inadvertent exposure of a vast 38-terabyte dataset. This dataset contains sensitive information such as private keys, passwords, and internal Microsoft Teams conversations from hundreds of employees. In a report recently published by cloud security company Wiz, it was disclosed that the exposed data comprised comprehensive backups of two employees’ computer systems. The report, which was made public on Monday, provided a detailed account of the incident by Wiz researchers Hillai Ben-Sasson and Ronny Greenberg. “Our scan shows that this account contained 38TB of additional data,…
Low-code and no-code development platforms have gained significant traction recently, and more so with the rise of artificial intelligence in 2023. This technology promises to democratize application development and empower “citizen developers.” If it sounds familiar, we tried this back in the ‘70s with Cobol and many times after that. Executives won’t write code no matter how easy it is. Low-code and no-code platforms provide visual interfaces and prebuilt components to simplify the coding process so people with minimal coding experience can create applications quickly. Although these platforms offer advantages, they also introduce trade-offs that must be carefully considered within an exemplary cloud…
David Heinemeier Hansson, CTO of SaaS project management outfit 37Signals, has posted an update on the cloud repatriation project he’s led, writing that it’s already saved the company $1 million. Hansson has previously revealed that his company spent $3.2 million a year on cloud computing, most of it at Amazon Web Services. His repatriation plan called for the company to spend $600,000 on eight meaty servers that each pack 256 virtual CPUs, and have them hosted at an outfit called Deft. That plan was projected to save $7 million over five years. In his Saturday post, Hansson wrote he now thinks he can find…

India’s Chandrayaan missions have so far provided “unmatched data” for the international scientific community, paving the way for moon exploration from different dimensions, including the possibility of setting up a human habitation in future, eminent scientist Debiprosad Duari said. Duari said ISRO’s three Chandrayaan missions have thrown more light on the presence of water ice, previously undiscovered minerals and elements, and temperature changes on the moon. All the Chandrayaan missions have produced unmatched quality of data for not only India, but the entire world. Chandrayaan-1 in 2019 used the moon mineralogy mapper (collaborative instrument between NASA and ISRO), and for…
The use of data processing units (DPU) is beginning to grow in large enterprises as AI, security and networking applications demand greater system performance. Much DPU development to date has been aimed at hyperscalers. Looking ahead, DPU use in the data center and elsewhere in the enterprise network is expected to grow. One way that could happen is the melding of DPU technology with networking switches – a technology combination AMD Pensando calls a “smartswitch.” An early entrant in that category is HPE Aruba’s CX 10000, which combines DPU technology from AMD Pensando with high-end switching capabilities. Available since early…
multi-cloud which seems to have sparked a new debate. To be sure, multi-cloud is a cloud computing approach which uses multiple cloud computing services from different providers to achieve functions such as cloud repatriation. Think of this as an app aggregator only the role changes. Experts believe cloud repatriation can be a workload placement strategy in a wider multi-cloud strategy. This might help the public cloud’s rapid scalability and some may benefit from the growing possibilities at the edge. The growth that the cloud has seen is because it can be a powerhouse to drive digital transformation at an unprecedented…
