This article is a recap of scandals of medical devices, like hearing aids, insulin pumps, bionic eyes, and pacemakers, and what we can learn from them. It's astonishing: you wouldn't expect these devices to be run by software in such a way that they can leave you completely helpless.

[11:38] schestowitz[11:38] schestowitzA commercial smartphone or Linux computer can be used to crack RSA-2048 encryption, according to a prominent research scientist. Dr Ed Gerck is preparing a research paper with the details but couldnt hold off from bragging about his incredible quantum computing achievement (if true) on his LinkedIn profile. Let us be clear: the claims seem spurious, but it should be recognized that t [11:38] schestowitz he world isnt ready for an off-the-shelf system that can crack RSA-2048, as major firms, organizations, and governments havent yet transitioned to encryption tech that is secured for the post-quantum era.

[11:45] schestowitz[11:45] schestowitzBusiness Email Compromise (BEC) is a sophisticated fraud scheme targeting businesses that use wire transfers as a form of payment. The BEC scheme affects large global corporations, governments, and individuals, with current global daily losses estimated at approximately $8 million. Criminals compromise legitimate business email accounts through various hacking schemes, including social engineering and [11:45] schestowitz the use of malware. Once a business email account is compromised, a fraudulent email is sent directing the recipient of the email to unwittingly transfer funds to an illicit account. Alternatively, they create spoofed email domain names to trick people into thinking they know the sender. An email domain name is the part of an email address that comes after the @ symbol. In email spoofing, one character in an email address is [11:45] schestowitz often changed or missing, thereby tricking the recipient. Criminals obtain and use privileged information to convince BEC email recipients that the transfer instructions are legitimate.

Users could ask about the voice plan using Siri, then subscribe and play music on any Siri-enabled device including HomePod mini, AirPods, iPhone, and other Apple devices.
