That’s particularly true of the latest addition to the range, the Orbi 5G WiFi 6 Mesh System (NBK752), which combines high-speed Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity with 5G mobile broadband to provide a ‘failsafe’ backup in case you lose your main internet connection at a critical moment. Price & options The Orbi 5G WiFi 6 is very much a top-of-the-range option, combining tri-band Wi-Fi 6 with a top speed of 4....

Apple is delivering on that promise with an update that you should install as soon as possible. iOS 14.8.1 contains 12 — yes, a dozen — security fixes for a swath of issues, ranging from kernel vulnerabilities to bugs in the Safari WebKit engine. These are the sort of issues that could let the bad guys get a foothold into your device to wreak more havoc. Apple also fixed many bugs on Monday with the release of an update to iOS 15: iOS 15....

NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the funding would be evenly split into AU$7 million chunks under the NSW Bushfire Response R&D Mission. The New South Wales government made the announcement ahead of its 2021-22 Budget, which is set to be handed down next week. “The 2019-20 bushfires claimed lives, destroyed thousands of homes, and cost NSW billions, this investment will go towards reducing the impact of bushfires and responding in the most effective way possible,” he said....

During local elections last month, an unknown number of voters were unable to cast a vote due to the state’s iVote online voting system suffering a failure for a portion of the voting period. In the immediate aftermath, the NSWEC attributed the iVote online voting system failure to a higher-than-expected elector load, with around 650,000 people using the system during the local elections last month. “Almost triple the number of voters have used iVote at these elections than any previous election,” NSWEC said at the time....

The real question is, can £299/€349 (~$390) buy enough of a handset to justify the spend, or should buyers consider the higher-end Nord 2, which at the time of writing is available discounted to £369/€369 in the same 8GB/128GB configuration? Given the budget price tag, it’s no surprise that the Nord CE 2’s backplate is made from plastic rather than glass or metal. The back is shiny and slippery, and failed to sit on the arm of my chair securely....

The alert from the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) – the cybersecurity arm of intelligence service GCHQ – warns that the phishing attacks are targeting individuals and organisations in a range of sectors. The end goal of the phishing attacks is to dupe the victim into clicking malicious links that direct to fake, but realistic-looking, login pages, where the victim will enter their login credentials, providing the attackers with access to their account, which hackers abuse directly or use to gain access to other victims....

The world of technology is constantly evolving. One movement that’s sparked much of this innovation has been the recent push towards Web3, the third generation of the internet. Web3 envisions an utterly decentralized web with cryptocurrency and the metaverse playing critical roles in allowing users to wrest control of the web and financial systems from large institutions and governments. Web3 is also the future for programmers, so if you want to keep up with the job market’s demands today and in the future, the Complete Web3 Programming Masterclass Bundle may help....

The various technology initiatives were announced after the leaders of Quad countries – comprised of Australia, India, Japan, and the US – met on Friday, which marked the first time the group has come together in person. Among the initiatives announced by the security bloc was the intention to develop new global cybersecurity standards across various technology sectors. “With respect to the development of technical standards, we will establish sector-specific contact groups to promote an open, inclusive, private-sector-led, multi-stakeholder, and consensus-based approach,” the Quad said in a joint statement....

Here are a few simple things you can try that might save you a trip to the Apple Store. Also: Why your iPad, MacBook, or even iPhone might stop charging this winter But first, consider: It might be normal. Laptops get hot, and MacBooks are no exception, especially if they are running the older Intel processors. The newer M1 and M2 Apple Silicon MacBooks in my experience run cooler....

A series of high-profile incidents during the past year – such as the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, the Kaseya ransomware attack, a string of attacks against hospitals and healthcare, including the Irish Healthcare Executive, and many others – have caused problems for millions. Ransomware is effective because, in many cases, the victim will give into the extortion by the cyber criminals and pay the ransom, often millions of dollars, to get a decryption key to restore their network....

The June ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline, which distributes much of the fuel to the eastern seaboard of the US, was a turning point in discussions about cybercrime between US president Joe Biden and Russian president Vladimir Putin. Biden in June said critical infrastructure should be “off-limits” to these style of cyberattacks and is pressuring Putin to get a grip on ransomware gangs operating in Russia’s jurisdiction. While the US intelligence community has not attributed the attack to one gang, most cybersecurity experts are pointing to gangs operating out of Russia....

In a speech at the Chatham House Cyber 2021 Conference, Lindy Cameron, CEO of the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), warned about several cybersecurity threats facing the world today, including supply chain attacks, the threat of cyber espionage and cyber aggression by hostile nation states, and cybersecurity exploits and vulnerabilities being sold to whoever wants to buy them. But it’s ransomware that is “the most immediate danger to UK businesses and most other organisations,” said Cameron, who warned that many businesses are leaving themselves vulnerable because “many have no incident response plans, or ever test their cyber defences”....

The amount ransomware attackers are demanding has more than doubled since 2020, when the average ransom demand for a decryption key stood at $900,000. The figures comes from cybersecurity researchers at Palo Alto Networks, who analyzed ransomware incident response cases they were involved in during 2021. SEE: What is ransomware? Everything you need to know about one of the biggest menaces on the web While the final ransom payments are often much less than the initial ransom demands, they’ve also risen significantly in recent years....

Razer Fintech said Thursday the acquisition would accelerate its foray into a market that was one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing digital economies. It did not provide financial details behind the deal. E2Pay offered a range of payment services that Razer said would complement cross-border payments services it provided to its own network of 60,000 merchants in the region. E2Pay’s services to merchants and financial institutions in Indonesia include e-money, remittance services, and a payment gateway, which supports e-commerce sectors that encompassed online marketplaces, professional services, and travel....

When we’re looking for love, we tell ourselves we’re looking for something real. Not the fake kind where someone is duping us. Not the fake kind where we’re being strung along, just because we’re cute and have a nice apartment. Not the fake kind where we’re being told we’re the love of someone’s life, when we’re really the love of their week. Also: Why is Twitter turning millions of accounts into defenseless targets?...

The build is impressive. Made from aluminium, the Realme Pad feels solid and capable of withstanding a few knocks, while the slate-grey back and sides of my review unit has a premium look. All this adds up to a tablet that feels in the hand like an expensive, high-quality device, and rather more high-end than is suggested by the price. It measures 155.9mm wide by 246.1mm deep by 6.9mm thick and weighs 440g (9....

And yet plenty of bosses still seem to be getting it very wrong. Perhaps that’s no surprise, because adopting the hybrid model means rapidly overturning about a hundred years of assumptions about the best way to organize the working week. So, what’s the problem? Tech analyst Gartner recently published an interesting look at some research that might provide a clue. It suggests that while insisting on a rigid return to the office will be a big mistake (sorry, Elon), the way that many companies implement their model of hybrid working is also likely to be flawed....
