State Media Facebook has decided to start labeling these pages because “people should know if the news they read is coming from a publication that may be under the influence of a government”. With this move, the company shows that they believe that media and state influence should stay separated. People should be aware of the origin of the news that they read. They need to consider whether they are reading a story written by a critical journalist, or a journalist working for the government....

These attacks could “disrupt operations, cause financial loss, and negatively impact food supply chain,” the bureau said. “Ransomware may impact businesses across the sector, from small farms to large producers, processors and manufacturers, and markets and restaurants,” it added. Food and Agriculture Sector at Risk The FBI’s notice says that cybercriminals are increasingly targeting the food and agriculture sector, adding that these attacks are likely to increase as the sector adopts more smart technologies and IoT processes....

Pegasus is a surveillance system offered by the NSO Group. While advertised as software for fighting crime and terrorism, a probe into the spyware led to allegations that it is being used against innocents, including human rights activists, political activists, lawyers, journalists, and politicians worldwide. Israel-based NSO Group denied the findings of the investigation, conducted by Amnesty International, Forbidden Stories, and numerous media outlets. Apple has since patched a zero-day vulnerability utilized by Pegasus, a discovery made together with Citizen Lab....

With its laptop-like weight and thickness, ample footprint and lack of a battery, the product makes no nod to portability like the folding keyboards in my last column. It even hosts two USB-A connectors. That said, it can be used with smartphones for a more desktop-like experience, particularly if they host a windowing environment like Samsung’s DeX. In this sense, the Ficihp acts like the “laptop shell” devices I wrote about in early 2020, albeit in a modern update to the cyberdeck-like form of the pioneering TRS-80 Model 100....

The Case Against the FIN7 Group Ukrainian national Fedir Oleksiyovich Hladyr was arrested on 18 January in Dresden, Germany, for finance-based cybercrimes. He was then extradited to the US to face trial. He is one of four FIN7 members, all Ukrainian nationals, that were arrested in 2018 and extradited to the US. Fellow FIN7 hacker Andrii Kolpokov will be sentenced in June this year and faces 25 years in prison. The cases against the other two members, Denys Iarmak and Dmytro Fedorov, are continuing....

The latest investment pushes Flipkart’s post-money valuation to $37.6 billion, the company said in a statement Monday. Lead investors for the latest funding round comprised GIC, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, and Walmart, which acquired a 77% stake in Flipkart in 2018 for $16 billion. Walmart later in 2020 led a $1.2 billion equity round to bump up its majority stake to 82%.

I may have considered having the Pixel 6 replaced within warranty, outside its return window, as I still need a main Android 12 testing device. But my support experience with Google has been so bad that after I realized the device was defective the day I received it, I insisted on having my money refunded and escalated it as a dispute to my credit card company. Since that article was published, Google has agreed to refund my purchase, but I think that only happened because I wrote an article about my experience....

Apple is shutting down the app it bought in March 2020. Dark Sky was my go-to weather app shortly after it launched, thanks to its hyperlocal weather forecasts and precipitation alerts. There was something almost addictive yet reassuring about getting an alert that it was going to start raining in 5 minutes and then stop in 45 minutes. Once Apple bought Dark Sky, the Android version stopped working just a few months later....

Scammers and cybercrooks are reportedly taking to dating apps such as Grindr and Feeld to induce victims into sending explicit photos — which the criminals will then use to blackmail their victims. FTC Provides Details on Attacks These types of attacks are referred to as sextortion scams, threats that have been lurking online for some time. Here, the attackers threaten to send explicit pictures, chats, or information such as the browsing history of victims to their family, friends, employers, and acquaintances, unless they are paid a ransom....

This 2-in-1 laptop has a 16-inch display that rotates nearly 360 degrees (thus the name!), to pull double duty as a tablet. It even comes with Samsung’s iconic S Pen stylus in the box, so you can jot down notes or sketch directly on the beautiful display. There’s a lot to like about the Book 3 Pro 360, at least when it comes to the hardware. It’s the software where Samsung’s laptop experience starts to fall apart....

They need certifications, especially when it comes to Cisco networking....
