Lockwise has two guises: One in the browser itself at about:logins and a separate app for iOS and Android that can become the default password manager for your phone, without needing the overhead of Firefox the browser to start up. It is the latter and lighter option that has hit the end of the support road. “The Firefox Lockwise app will no longer be updated and supported by Mozilla and will not be available in the Apple App and Google Play Stores,” Mozilla said in its email....

NASA earlier this month pencilled in its third Space Launch System rocket and Orion launch attempt for September 27 with a backup date on October 2. The previous attempts were called off due to hydrogen leaks and engine problems. This time, Florida is bracing for Tropical Storm Ian to become a major hurricane by the time it reaches the west coast of the peninsula, which could happen as early as Tuesday, CNN reports....

Reaching the launch pad marked a key milestone for the Artemis I mission – the first of three missions that will culminate with NASA landing the first woman and first person of color on the Moon. The Artemis mission, named after Apollo’s twin sister, will help NASA establish long-term exploration at the Moon in preparation for human missions to Mars. Friday’s journey from NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad was just four miles – but it took nearly 11 hours to move the 322-foot tall, 3....

The programming issue was not sanitising input, with two fields passed to a CGI handler being fed into system calls. The impacted models were its VPN and ATP series, and USG 100(W), 200, 500, 700, and Flex 50(W)/USG20(W)-VPN. At the time, Rapid7 said there were 15,000 affected models on the internet that Shodan had found. However, over the weekend, Shadowserver Foundation has boosted that number to over 20,800. “Most popular are USG20-VPN (10K IPs) and USG20W-VPN (5....

For 12Mbps, 25Mbps, 50Mbps plans, NBN is putting forward the same type of model it currently uses, where each plan has an allocation of CVC included – often around 6% of the marketed speed or lower – and would see excess capacity at AU$8 per 1Mbps per month to retailers. For plans at 100Mbps and above, a flat access fee each month is paid. While the flat price plans are set to increase at a rate of the consumer price index (CPI) plus 3% initially, and the greater of CPI or 3% later, which is higher than the pure CPI increases on the bundles, the ACCC believes excess usage charges will steer retailers towards the 100Mbps plan....

On Thursday, researchers from Cisco Talos published a report on Necro Python, a bot that has been in development since 2015. The botnet’s development progress was documented in January 2021 by both Check Point Research (CPR) and Netlab 360, tracked separately as FreakOut and Necro. The developer behind the Necro Python bot has made a number of changes to increase the power and versatility of the bot, including exploits for over 10 different web applications and the SMB protocol that are being weaponized in the bot’s recent campaigns....

And one of them is the undisputed leader in content. Netflix USA has a gargantuan library of 5,500+ titles — but Australians can access only around 38% of this available content. There’s a lot of really good stuff you’re missing out on — from famous sitcoms (Frasier, Friends) to small-screen masterpieces (Breaking Bad, Twin Peaks) and even superhero hits (The Flash). Sure, you get all the Netflix originals, but there is so much more you could watch....

Netflix Doubles Down on VPN Ban Though Netflix policy has blocked VPNs and proxy servers for roughly six years, premium VPNs have been able to easily bypass these restrictions. Though VPN providers are tight-lipped about the tech and how it’s done, experts say VPNs use residential IP addresses to make it seem as if their customers are using a regular Internet Service Provider (ISP). Due to international licensing agreements, users are only able to access certain content based on their geographical location....

With a pressing labor shortage and booming drive-thru and carryout demand over nearly two years of pandemic-induced recalibration, fast food has increasingly turned to technology to increase efficiencies and improve consistency and output. McDonald’s has been a leader in this arena, and just this week announced it was teaming up with IBM to create an automated drive-thru concept. Miso Robotics, an unusual success story in the crowd-funded technology space, is positioning itself as the go-to provider for automated cooking....

Voice Access is a complement to the existing Voice Typing functionality in Windows 11. While Voice Typing allows people to enter words into a text box using their voice, Voice Access goes further and allows testers to use voice commands to type and control their devices, enter numbers and text, and more. Like Voice Typing, Voice Access is a setting under Accessibility. Voice access uses on-device speech-recognition, and it works whether or not users have an internet connection....

Victor Costanza, deputy CISO at the NYPA, said the rise in sophisticated cyber attacks prompted them to help municipal utilities implement a strong security program that can detect and mitigate attacks in real-time. “With the technologies provided by IronNet and AWS, the I.T. and power infrastructures in NYPA’s supply chain ecosystem can collect and share anonymized cyber threat information so we can defend our enterprise networks collectively, raising the security posture of all of us throughout the state,” Costanza said....

For NI, the two acquisitions will bolster its portfolio of products to test electric vehicles and batteries. NI can also use the acquisitions to scale in the automotive industry, which is going electric quickly as giants like VW, Ford and GM chase Tesla....

NordVPN requested the audit in the middle of last year, and it took Cure53 nearly 80 days between July and October 2022 to complete it. This is the second major security audit that NordVPN has reported this year. In January, the company revealed that it passed an audit by the accounting firm Deloitte. “The results of multiple audits prove that we are true to our policies,” Marijus Briedis, NordVPN’s chief technology office (CTO), told VPNOverview....

The new guidance is meant to help US private and public sector organizations defend themselves against supply chain attacks, including the one Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) hackers deployed against SolarWinds and its customers. “Recent cyberattacks such as those executed against SolarWinds and its customers, and exploits that take advantage of vulnerabilities such as Log4j, highlight weaknesses within software supply chains, an issue which spans both commercial and open source software and impacts both private and government enterprises,” the NSA says in its guidance....

Nvidia rolled out Omniverse in open beta back in December, giving 3D designers a shared virtual world from which they can collaborate across different software applications and from different geographic locations. Earlier this year, the company introduced Omniverse Enterprise, bringing the platform to the enterprise community via a familiar licensing model. “We are building Omniverse to be the connector of the physical and virtual worlds,” Richard Kerris, VP of Omniverse for Nvidia, said to reporters last week....

On Monday, blockchain security company Elliptic and multiple Twitter users spoke out about the bug. Motherboard was the first to report on the incident. Elliptic said it “identified at least three attackers who have purchased at least eight NFTs for much less than their market value within the past 12 hours.” The issue affects Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Cool Cats and Cyberkongz NFTs. One user wrote on Twitter that his NFT was bought for about $1,800 worth of the Ethereum cryptocurrency before it was resold for $196,000....

Orion splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, west of Baja California, at 9.40 am PST Sunday, about two hours earlier than expected, closing out the historic mission. The moment came 25.5 days after NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) finally lifted off on November 16 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, following several aborted launches due to technical issues and storms. The mission around the Moon and back was a test run in deep space for when the Artemis II mission lifts off with astronauts onboard Orion....
