While it’s proven to be a useful gadget, a few bad apples have used them for illicit purposes. Numerous women have reported finding AirTags in their purses, jacket pockets, or even diaper bags after public outings. Victims have found them in their vehicles, supposedly planted by car thieves tracking their targets. Here’s what Apple has done to prevent stalking and other crimes: Apple released a software update in June 2021 to alert users if an unknown AirTag is following them within 8-24 hours....

The acronym CNC can be a bit confusing. The letters stand for computer numerical control, meaning a computer controls the movement of a machine. As such, 3D printers, laser cutters, and even vinyl cutters (i.e., a Circut) are technically CNCs. But the term CNC is most often used to describe a machine that uses a spinning spindle with an end mill bit that cuts away material. Some big industrial CNCs substitute a spinning end mill bit with a plasma cutter, but that’s a story for another day....

Spoofed Websites Linked to BEC Schemes In a growing trend, scammers impersonate legitimate brands and services by crafting similar looking websites. By using the brand’s name, logo and company colors they trick visitors into trusting the spoofed page. When unsuspecting users enter their credentials or personally identifiable information, their details are forwarded to cybercriminals. Next, the scammers can do what they want. The technique is rapidly becoming a key part of Business email compromise (BEC) scams....

What is 5G? 5G stands for the fifth generation (hence the G) of mobile networks. As you might have expected, there were four previous generations. Two of them will likely sound familiar: 3G and 4G.

It’s still in development and only available in specific locations....

What will life be like in 2022? What will work be like? Businesses will want everyone to be at the office. Unless, that is, it becomes so much cheaper and more profitable to have everyone working from home. Or wait, it’ll all be hybrid. Unless that doesn’t work because everyone at the office will be sitting, lonely, on Zoom calls all day. When you look back on 2021, what themes resonate over and over again?...

Ransomware has become one of the most disruptive forms of cyberattack this year. It was back in 2017 with the global WannaCry outbreak that we first saw the severe disruption the malware could cause, and in 2021, nothing seems to have changed for the better. This year alone, so far we’ve seen the Colonial Pipeline ransomware disaster that caused fuel supply shortages across parts of the US; ongoing issues at Ireland’s national health service, and systematic disruption for meat processor giant JBS due to the malware....

In cybersecurity and tech circles, however, ransomware has long been talked about for all too long already. In fact, over the past decade, ransomware has arguably been the most prolific and pervasive cyber threat out there. According to US government figures, ransomware attacks since 2005 have outnumbered online data breaches. Perhaps the fact that ransomware attacks have not traditionally been global in scale helped to keep it under the radar of general public awareness....
