With regards to Mozilla Firefox, recent security reports have revealed multiple software issues. Specifically, multiple software vulnerabilities have been discovered in the very widely used Mozilla Firefox web browser software. The issue is that these security flaws found by developers cause crashes, UI spoofs, and a possibility for a remote attacker to compromise a vulnerable system via an unpatched version of Mozilla Firefox. The Mozilla Firefox Software Vulnerability On September 7th, 2021 there were three Security Advisory release reports posted on the official Mozilla website concerning software vulnerabilities in certain versions of Mozilla Firefox (release one, release two, release three....

On March 23, researchers from ESET said that Mustang Panda, a Chinese cyberespionage group also tracked as TA416, RedDelta, and Bronze President has been spreading a new Korplug/PlugX Remote Access Trojan (RAT) variant. Korplug is a RAT previously used in attacks against the Afghanistan and Tajikistan militaries, targets across Asia, and high-value organizations in Russia. Researchers say that Chinese threat actors have used variants of the Trojan since at least 2012....

I like to keep my phone mounted and charging in the car. That way it’s convenient and safe, I can use it for navigation and occasional voice control, it complies with the laws where I live (check your local laws), and it’s charging for when I need it. To pull this off, I have three accessories that have become must-haves when I’m in my car. Here I’m using the Quad Lock Car Mount that attaches to the windshield, and the swivel mount means I can position the smartphone properly (my iPhone will even unlock with Face ID when in the mount)....

Perseverance is amid its second Martian rock collecting campaign and has now collected four more sedimentary rock samples from a once-flowing river delta in the Jezero Crater, bringing its collection to a total of 12 samples since it started on July 7. NASA picked the river delta because it offered the highest odds of finding signs of ancient microbial life. By ancient — if NASA does ever find evidence — that microbial life would have existed about 3....

The new spacesuits will usher NASA’s astronauts into a new era of exploration: They’ll be the last suits astronauts wear to walk outside the International Space Station, which is retiring in 2030. They’ll be the suits that help NASA astronauts walk on the Moon for the first time in half a century. And they’ll help NASA prepare for eventual human missions to Mars. “History will be made with these suits,” Vanessa Wyche, director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, said to reporters on Wednesday....

The rocket part hit the Moon on March 4, but astronomers only reported the discovery of the impact site last week. There’s now an eastern crater on the Moon about 18 meters in diameter (19.5 yards) that’s superimposed on a western crater measuring 16 meters in diameter (17.5 yards). According to NASA, the double crater may indicate that the rocket body had large masses at each end. So far, no other rocket crashes on the Moon have created double craters, even though Apollo SIV-B craters were larger....

As part of the upgrade, all users will be able to get up to 100Mbps speeds with 85% of the network capable of 250Mbps, have busy hours at minimum speeds of 50Mbps, 120,000 homes will shift from satellite to fixed wireless coverage, and those left on satellite will see off-peak quota-free window expanded from midnight to 4pm each day by mid-year. The program is expected to take two and a half years, at which point satellite users will see data quotas boosted to 90GB....

In numbers released in December, NBN said it replaced 99,226 NBN Co Connection Devices (NCD) from 1 December 2020 to 11 November 2021. “Between 1 October 2021 and 11 November 2021 NBN Co has replaced a total of 21,424 devices. This includes replacements as a result of multiple severe weather events across the eastern states of Australia during October,” NBN said in a response to Senate Estimates. “FttC NCDs … can be replaced for a wide variety of reasons, including customers removing the device when they move house, new devices being automatically provided when a customer changes providers, and accidental damage in premises....

Every worthwhile project starts with a good idea. But as the cliche goes, the devil is in the details, and far too many big dreams fall apart when it’s time to break them down into smaller tasks. Little things like effective note-taking can make a huge difference, and that’s where Agenda 14 can help. The more projects you’re working on, the more Agenda can help. This note-taking software has been racking up solid ratings and reviews reviews with every iteration....

You can say that the Nest Learning Thermostat is the parent and the Nest Thermostat is the child. Before Google bought Nest, the company released the Nest Learning Thermostat (2011), which was revolutionary during its time for its sleek, understated design. The model is still alive and well today. After Google purchased Nest in 2014, it followed up with iterations, including the Nest Thermostat E and the Nest Thermostat. The Thermostat E has been dropped, leaving shoppers to decide between the Nest Learning Thermostat vs....

Netflix is also not the only streaming service to go in this direction. Hulu + Live TV has taken similar measures. It also looks like Netflix may start charging users for sharing an account outside of a household, an idea the company tested in March 2022 in South America and has since implemented in countries there. Users in the online community expressed confusion and frustration by Netflix’s update. Some have said that this inches them closer to canceling their already costly Netflix service, as traveling and using Netflix will be unnecessarily tedious, not to mention having to log in at home at least once a month....

The announcement came as a surprise, as NetSuite has always been perceived as a close ally of Oracle. Let’s dissect the news. (You can find the press release here): MyPOV - It’s always good to see vendors listening to their customers. Though NetSuite does not state it explicitly, this may well be a customer driven partnership. Regardless, the scope of the partnership is something that NetSuite needs to work on - as Office365 is a given for its customers....

In 2016, the international initiative No More Ransom (NMR) was founded by the Dutch National Police, Europol, Kaspersky Lab, and Intel. The initiative offers a new option for ransomware victims: free recovery tools for victims without paying a ransom. VPNOverview interviewed Jornt van der Wiel, a Security Researcher for the Global Research and Analysis Team at Kaspersky, a founding partner of NMR, to explain the challenges ransomware poses to individuals and businesses....

Last year, 400 Native American tribes were awarded EBS spectrum, covering tens of thousands of square miles, often in remote areas, and millions of tribal members. The Tribal EBS program comprises spectrum on the 2.5 Ghz band, which is mature and can be found in the majority of mobile phones, telephone switching equipment and add-on devices. The new Nokia-NewCore initiative will use up to 117 MHz of the Tribal EBS band, making it suitable for 4G and offering a pathway to 5G....

The researchers used a dataset of 10,000 chip layouts to feed a machine-learning model, which was then trained with reinforcement learning. It emerged that in only six hours, the model could generate a design that optimizes the placement of different components on the chip, to create a final layout that satisfies operational requirements such as processing speed and power efficiency. The method’s success is such that Google has already used the model to design its next generation of tensor processing units (TPUs), which run in the company’s data centers to improve the performance of various AI applications....
