The FBI is expecting a rise in complaints and losses during the 2021 holiday season “due to rumors of merchandise shortages and the ongoing pandemic”, it says in a public service announcement. Global supply chain problems have affected everything from online fashion sales to smartphones, games consoles and the auto industry. Sony earlier this month cut its PlayStation 5 production outlook due to component shortages and the games console remains hard to buy in many parts of the world....

The country saw a 25.2% climb in scams and cybercrimes last year, hitting 33,669 in reported cases, up from 26,886 in 2021. Scams accounted for the bulk, cheating victims of SG$660.7 million ($501.9 million), a 4.5% increase from SG$632 million in 2021, according to the latest figures from the Singapore Police Force (SPF). Phishing, e-commerce, and investment scams were amongst the top five most common tactics used against victims, making up 82....

Designed fundamentally different from previous generations, which were primarily based on hardware, 5G systems are software-driven. This architectural change could create new potential security vulnerabilities, according to Singapore’s Minister for Communications and Information Josephine Teo. “As we expand the adoption of 5G, we must be mindful of the potential for new cyber risks,” Teo said Monday in a speech broadcast during Singtel’s virtual event, which featured new trials the telco was running on its 5G standalone network....

Singapore last year tweaked its cybersecurity strategy to emphasise OT and provided guidelines on the skillsets and technical competencies OT organisations needed. The country defines OT systems to include industrial control, building management, and traffic light control systems that monitor or change the physical state of a system, such as railway systems. Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) has pushed the need for CII operators to beef up the cybersecurity of OT systems, where attacks could pose physical and economic risks....

Also: 12 gifts for coffee lovers (besides a Starbucks gift card) When you think of siphon coffee makers, those science experiment-looking machines probably come to mind. Glass tubes and gas burners that take far too long and are very delicate (and very challenging to use). However, a few years ago I landed on the Kitchenaid Siphon coffee maker. That machine really opened up my eyes to how coffee is brewed and my wife absolutely loved the taste of the coffee that machine produced....

Indeed. Information technology gets more complex every day, and there is no shortage of demand for monitoring and automation capabilities the build and manage systems. Cloud-native platforms are seen as remedies for not only improved maintenance, monitoring, and automation, but also for modernizing infrastructure, and achieving faster time to market. At the same time, skills and security of cloud-native systems remain overriding concerns. These points were confirmed in a survey of more than 1,300 global respondents from Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu....

In February, Snowflake forged a partnership with BlackRock’s Aladdin unit to launch the Aladdin Data Cloud. That partnership paved the way for a broader Financial Services Data Cloud launch. The general idea is that financial services firms can combine their data with third party data on Snowflake’s platform to test and adjust models, market to clients and manage risk. At a high level, Snowflake’s Financial Services Data Cloud combines the company’s governance tools, industry-specific datasets and clients’ first party data....

The move is the latest illustration of how Meta is moving its attention from its social media platforms – Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp – to its future as a “metaverse” company. Facebook acquired the VR headset maker Oculus back in 2014. In 2020, the company began requiring Oculus device users to have a Facebook account in order to log into their VR profile. That didn’t sit well with some Oculus users, including some concerned with issues such as privacy and Facebook’s handling of user data....

So, I’ve often been told, does information. That’s why the internet was created. Somehow, America’s most beloved airline – it’s a relative concept – doesn’t seem to see things quite like this. Southwest Airlines is fed up that there are business entities out there that scrutinize its fares and schedules and try to find ways for people to get better deals on the airline. Yes, even better than Southwest’s (supposedly) cheapest possible deals....

Spigen offers these options ranging from $24.99 to $39.99 with different functions, textures, levels of protection, colors, and weight. I have a clear favorite out of the six due to a key feature discussed below. Spigen also offers a screen protector that is currently backordered and so we did not test the protector. Also: Best Android phone 2021: Top expert picks Tough Armor The Spigen Tough Armor case is the most expensive option at $39....

The data breach was discovered during a “proactive online surveillance” on July 6 by its cybersecurity team, StarHub said in a statement late-Friday unveiling the breach. On its website informing customers of the incident, the telco said it needed “time” to investigate the incident and assess the impact before confirming the breach publicly. The relevant authorities, however, were informed of the breach. According to its statement to local media, StarHub said an illegally uploaded file containing the leaked data was found on a third-party data dump website....

These switches are at the heart of what makes these boards unique: a two-point actuation system. While typists prefer a deeper actuation to prevent accidental keypresses, gamers tend to want their actuation point higher for more responsive controls. Previously, the best you could do in a do-it-all board was to find a middle-ground between typo-induing shallow actuation and slower deep actuation. Now, SteelSeries OptiPoint switches promise to allow users to swap between the ideal depth for both scenarios....

As spotted by Ghacks, Google has updated an old blogpost from November 2020 to clarify that it will now support Chrome on Windows 7 “through January 15, 2023, for critical security and stability updates”. In January 2020, just days ahead of Microsoft calling end of life (EoL) on Windows 7, Google said Chrome would continue supporting the OS until at least July 15, 2021, or around 18 months after Microsoft stopped supporting it....

For the period to 30 June 2021, Suncorp Group recorded after-tax group net profit of AU$1.03 billion, up 13% from AU$913 million last year, while cash earnings lifted 42% to AU$1.06 billion. Group operating expenses were AU$2.8 billion, slightly up from AU$2.75 billion, which the company attributed to a temporary increase in initiatives such as technology upgrades and higher marketing spend. The company outlined that technology costs came in AU$19 million and another AU$31 million was spent on “projects costs”....

Feeling overwhelmed by my rising email count, I adopted a simple approach to reducing the amount of email I need to deal with every day, increasing my ability to keep my inbox smaller and improving my ability to deal with the truly important messages. Let me share this approach with you in the hopes you too can reap the same benefits. Leveraging the powerful rules engines of cloud-based email services, I only allow emails from domains and senders who I know to land in my inbox....

The new protocol is the most stringent protocol the NCAP has ever had in place, testing a car’s ability to protect adults, children and vulnerable road users and safety assistance features. SEE: Elon Musk says that the self-driving Tesla could be ready by the end of the year The Model Y led the Euro NCAP overall score category with a 92% score. The Lexus NX came in second place scoring an 89%....

Concerns that cards could be read covertly have generated a massive industry of security devices designed to block or somehow interfere with this contactless reading of the cards. You can find wallets, purses, and card protectors designed to prevent your cards from being read stealthily. But do these security devices work? Well, I have a Flipper Zero, and this amazing device can read NFC. So, let’s try it out....
