Employers are already face something of a dilemma when it comes to cybersecurity in 2022. Not only is the number of attempted cyberattacks escalating worldwide, but employers face the added pressure of a tightening hiring market and record levels of resignations that are also affecting the tech industry. This battle for talent could hit cybersecurity particularly hard. According to a survey of more than 500 IT decision makers by threat intelligence company ThreatConnect, 50% of private sector businesses already have gaps in basic, technical IT security skills within their company....

Being added to the Astra portfolio, Astra Streaming will have multi-cloud support and, while offered for free (with upper limits) during the public beta, will eventually be priced on a pay as you go basis once the service enters general release. The underlying technology is based on Apache Pulsar, a publish/subscribe (PubSub) messaging that is often compared to the better-known Apache Kafka. And in fact, DataStax promises that the service will be compatible with Kafka via an existing wrapper; while not initially available during the beta, we expect that feature will go live with the production release....

Detailed colored images taken by the Ingenuity helicopter show a discarded parachute and a backshell located 1km away from Perseverance’s landing site. These pieces were part of the entry, descent and landing (EDL) hardware that was discarded onto the surface of the planet when Perseverance landed on Mars on February 18, 2021. A NASA blog post showed that the debris findings did not stop there. After the parachute and backshell were identified, other smaller pieces of the EDL hardware were spotted on the planet....

I’m rather pleased about that. This trip was 100% leisure, so I wanted to go as lightweight and simple as possible. There was going to be a lot of planes, trains, and automobiles, so I didn’t want to be weighed down like a beast of burden. But I wanted to take a drone with me. Initially, I’d planned on only taking one drone on my travels – the DJI Mini 2....

Friday, early morning Shenzhen time, DJI unveiled the latest version of the portable series, the Mavic 3, in the same folding design, now with a dual-camera system, faster motors, a 50% boost in flight time, and greater sensing capabilities. An alternative version, the Mavic 3 Cine edition, offers Apple ProRes 422 HQ encoding for richer video processing, and a 1 terabyte solid-state hard drive. The device is for sale starting immediately on the DJI Web site....

Recently, Soundcore, Anker’s audio consort, brought forward its campaign with the Sleep A10 earbuds. Hoping to stand out from the likes of Bose’s Sleep Buds II and QuietOn’s 3 buds, Soundcore engineered what may possibly be the smallest earbuds on the market, with the goal of an unobtrusive fit – even for side sleepers. While the buds don’t have active noise cancellation (ANC), opting for noise masking instead, they have features that will help you get a good night’s rest, and collect the data you need to make gradual improvements....

We took a few stabs at scanning in books. We even bought a paper guillotine, chopped off the spines of some her craft books, and ran them through one of the ScanSnaps’ auto document feeders. Why would we want to scan all our books? Well, they take up an enormous amount of space. We are both avid readers and love books, but there are practical limits. As time goes on, we keep getting more and more books, but our space doesn’t expand at the same pace....

I had hopes that any Facebook reorganization would be to ditch the advertising revenues in favor of a subscription model. Facebook wouldn’t have to collect so much data, and it shouldn’t need to sell its users’ activities to third-parties constantly. Instead, it could protect its users from all that tracking and just make sure the servers are up for a reasonable subscription fee. With its current advertising-based business Facebook’s fundamental dilemma is that it cannot claim to be on the side of its users....

Constantly freeing space on your devices can be a hassle, especially if you need to use them while studying. Work docs, school papers, and media will blow through your storage quickly, but a cloud storage space that houses your excess files can make reinvesting in your education pursuits much more effective. One excellent, secure cloud storage provider is Prism Drive, which is offering 10TB of lifetime storage for $49 during our Back to Education event....

Among the images revealed was the spectrum of an exoplanet, the giant gas planet WASP 96-b, which orbits a star 1,150 light-years away. The Webb telescope captured the distinct signature of water vapor in the exoplanet’s atmosphere, as well as evidence of clouds and haze. “Every image is a new discovery, and each will give humanity a view of the universe that we’ve never seen before,” NASA administrator Bill Nelson said on Tuesday ahead of the reveal, speaking from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland....

In a statement, the company said the accounts were compromised through phishing techniques and other social engineering methods that were used to dupe EA customer experience team members into helping the hackers around two-factor authentication. EA said the hackers used “threats” to “exploit human error within our customer experience team.” “Over the last few weeks we’ve been made aware of reports that high-profile player accounts are being targeted for takeover....

That being said, if you had told me a year ago that I’d have an Echo Studio front and center in my home entertainment system, I would’ve cackled. But even if we’re a HomeKit family with a HomePod Mini, I can’t say I was ever against buying an Echo speaker. No, I welcomed Alexa into my home with the sole purpose of pitting her against Siri to see how the voice assistants performed side by side....

The Washington Post reports that besides Yoel Roth, Twittter’s head of trust and safety, CISO Lea Kissner, its chief privacy officer and its chief compliance officer have also resigned. Roth in the past week has been the face of Twitter in explaining Musk’s $8 plan for Twitter Blue and how the company will prevent abuse of the verification process and verified status. Ahead of the mid-term election, he’d also led Twitter’s efforts to combat the surge in trolls on the site since Musk took the helm on September 27....

The phase 2 expansion of its SY5 International Business Exchange (IBX) data centre located in Alexandria, Sydney, adds 2,150 cabinets, bringing current capacity to 3,975 cabinets, and colocation space of 11,310 square metres. The company is touting SY5 as the largest IBX in Australia, with more than 9,200 cabinets expected when fully built. “We continue to see significant momentum in Australia as technology spend accelerates, driven by the shift to as-a-service consumption models and hybrid multicloud being widely adopted as the architecture of choice,” Equinix Australia MD Guy Danskine said....

The social media platform has published a new piece of research that it commissioned to economists from Analysis Group, which attempts to quantify exactly how much money could be lost if some organizations were suddenly unable to transfer personal data outside of the EU. Specifically looking at the telecoms and pharmaceutical industries, as well as digital payments and services outsourcing, the research found that suspending data flows could cost several billions of dollars every year, with customers inevitably being impacted as a result by higher prices and lower quality of service....

Even with the proliferation of low-code and no-code tools in today’s market, it looks like IT managers will have to stay tuned into what users are doing with the technology. Low-code and no-code are seen as the tools and platforms that enable business users to build and launch applications without the involvement of IT departments. However, in more than nine out of 10 cases, IT does need to stay involved....

While Facebook has yet to report on what’s happening with this total social network failure, website status sites such as DownForEveryoneOrJustMe and DownDetector are all reporting that Facebook is down. The problem isn’t limited to just the United States. There are numerous reports that the site is down in Europe and the Middle East. Some Facebook users report seeing an error message reading: “Sorry, something went wrong. We’re working on it and we’ll get it fixed as soon as we can....

“As the lead federal investigative agency fighting cyber threats, combating cybercrime is one of the FBI’s highest priorities. We have attributed the JBS attack to REvil and Sodinokibi and are working diligently to bring the threat actors to justice,” the agency said. “We continue to focus our efforts on imposing risk and consequences and holding the responsible cyber actors accountable. Our private sector partnerships are essential to responding quickly when a cyber intrusion occurs and providing support to victims affected by our cyber adversaries....
