Ever since the company declared itself and its wares to be “agents of change,” I’ve been desperate to witness the change I can believe in. The company’s first attempt to think different sadly resembled something you’ve seen (far too) many times before. Still, my eyes became oddly widened when I saw this headline: “Forget the new iPhone 13 – Motorola thinks it just made your next work phone.” This gave me a shuddery feeling for more than one reason....

NASA and the DOE are exploring nuclear power since electricity, obviously, isn’t exactly readily available on the moon or farther out in space. When astronauts return to the moon and eventually travel to Mars, they’ll need a power system that’s reliable and lightweight. It should also be capable of running in different locales, as well as different environmental and weather conditions. Fission systems meet the criteria. By the end of the decade, NASA and the DOE want to test a 40-kilowatt class fission power system on the moon....

As human space ambitions grow beyond the moon, that creates real challenges for potential manned missions. So NASA, like all good sailors and efficiency-minded denizens of small quarters, is getting crafty. Instead of packing more stuff, what if there were useful ways to reuse the waste generated from old stuff? That’s the premise behind a new crowdsourcing challenge called Waste to Base Materials Challenge: Sustainable Reprocessing in Space, which seeks to find novel ways to deal with waste for future human missions to space sustainably....

In a sample of 980 930 files acquired by D3Lab analysts on Monday, the batch contained names, addresses, credit card numbers, expirations and CVVs. About 30 000 entries in the data set came from people living in Italy, based on identifications tied to the stolen cards. D3Lab analysts found the information on a carding database called All World Cards. All World Cards is a haven for online credit card thieves involved in things like magecart attacks, information-stealing malware and point-of-sale attacks....

The expansion follows the launch of the state government’s Spatial Digital Twin in February last year. At launch, there were virtual representations of eight “high growth” councils in the state on the platform.

Minister for Digital and Customer Service Victor Dominello believes expanding the tool to cover the rest of the state will help further transform urban planning and infrastructure....

Rendering 3D worlds is a complicated technical challenge. One technique known as inverse rendering involves reconstructing 3D scenes from a handful of 2D images. It uses AI to approximate how light behaves in the real world. Nvidia recently showcased its work with neural radiance fields (NeRF), which uses AI to speed up the process of inverse rendering. The downside of NeRF models is that they leave you with images you can’t easily edit – that’s not great for a designer creating something new....

The microchip company said it first became aware of the incident on February 23 and added that it impacted its IT resources. “Shortly after discovering the incident, we further hardened our network, engaged cybersecurity incident response experts, and notified law enforcement.

However, we are aware that the threat actor took employee credentials and some NVIDIA proprietary information from our systems and has begun leaking it online,” an NVIDIA spokesperson told ZDNet....

The REvil – also known as Sodinokibi – ransomware gang went dark in July, shortly after finding themselves drawing the attention of the White House following the massive ransomware attack, which affected 1,500 organisations around the world. It’s still uncertain if REvil has quit for good or if they will return under different branding – but affiliates of the ransomware scheme aren’t waiting to find out; they’re switching to using other brands of ransomware and, according to analysis by cybersecurity researchers at Symantec, LockBit ransomware has become the weapon of choice....
