Here’s an overview of some of last week’s most interesting news, articles, interviews and videos: What smart factories keep getting wrong about cybersecurityIn this Help Net Security interview, Packsize CSO Troy Rydman breaks down the biggest vulnerabilities in smart factory environments today, from IoT devices and legacy systems to human error. He explains how unmanaged devices, from sensors to robotic components, often go unpatched and become entry points for attackers. Certificate lifespans are shrinking and most organizations aren’t readyThe push for shorter TLS certificate lifespans has grown for years. Google first promoted 90-day certificates, and Apple later proposed 47-day ones,…

Kris Carlon / Android AuthorityI own a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, and bar a brief hiatus from my wrist late last year, I’ve been using it since its launch in 2021. While it’s starting to show its age and newer Galaxy Watches have certainly surpassed it in terms of specifications, the newer health-focused features of its successors haven’t tempted me to upgrade. In fact, despite it being five years old and four generations behind, there’s one Galaxy Watch 4 feature that still hasn’t been topped: the body composition monitor. Do you use the Body Composition feature on your Galaxy Watch?3…
A five-step playbook to stop Iranian wiper campaigns before they spread Geopolitical tensions are increasingly spilling into cyberspace. For CISOs, that means preparing for attacks that are not motivated by money but by disruption. Nation-state actors and politically aligned groups are increasingly deploying destructive malware designed to cripple organizations and critical infrastructure. Unlike ransomware groups that want payment, these attackers want operational chaos. Iranian wiper campaigns are a clear example of this shift. These attacks are designed to destroy systems, halt operations, and create cascading real-world consequences. They often target organizations that sit in critical supply chains, healthcare ecosystems, or…

The company scans the internet, social media platforms, mobile application stores, and the dark web to identify and dismantle brand impersonation threats, including phishing domains, fake identities,…
My smart home definitely doesn’t need a dedicated dashboard. Even so, I’ll eventually probably throw something together on the cheap, just because I can. But if I had a few grand to spend on something fancy, I’d buy a far less useful but ultimately more beautiful relic of the past instead. Vestaboard is a flip-dot display Flip-dot (or flip-disc) displays are mechanical devices that use physically moving parts to display information. If you’re as old as I am, you’ve probably seen them in train stations and airports, while driving on the highway, on the front of buses and trams, and…
Dolby Atmos is a spatial audio format that works virtually on supported TVs or speakers and physically on surround sound speaker systems. For the best experience, you need a Dolby Atmos receiver and a 5.1.2 surround sound speaker layout to provide full spatial coverage. Dolby Atmos includes object-based sound imaging and uses down-firing speakers mounted above you to create a three-dimensional listening effect. This is how the audio format works when you have at least a 5.1.2 layout, but there’s one thing that could throw a wrinkle in your spatial listening experience. Regardless of whether your inbuilt TV speakers support…
The Hacker NewsMar 20, 2026Artificial Intelligence / Data Protection Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how individuals and organizations conduct many activities, including how cybercriminals carry out phishing attacks and iterate on malware. Now, cybercriminals are using AI to generate personalized phishing emails, deepfakes and malware that evade traditional detection by impersonating normal user activity and bypassing legacy security models. As a result, rule-based models alone are often insufficient for identity security against AI-enabled threats. Behavioral analytics must evolve beyond monitoring suspicious activity patterns over time into dynamic, identity-based risk modeling capable of identifying inconsistencies in real time. Common risks introduced…

Let’s start this article with a story about Steve Jobs and Mac. Many years back, during testing, the Mac took a few minutes to start up. Steve Jobs was furious that it took so long. He had this to say: “Well, let’s say you can shave 10 seconds off of the boot time. Multiply that by five million users and that’s 50 million seconds, every single day. Over a year, that’s probably dozens of lifetimes. So if you make it boot ten seconds faster, you’ve saved a dozen lives. That’s really worth it, don’t you think?” The Mac series of…
