A new study reveals that Oxford is the best city for wheelchair-friendly restaurants, outdoor activities, parking and public toilets to live or visit in the UK. The study, conducted by experts from the leading staircase company Halton Stairlifts, analyzed five key factors in 81 major UK cities and assessed the level of wheelchair accessibility. These factors include wheelchair accessible restaurants, tour and outdoor activities, accommodation, disabled parking, and availability of public toilets per 100,000 residents. Weights were then assigned to each factor, reflecting its importance within the analysis, and used to calculate the index scores of 100 out of 100…
introduction Cyber threats targeting supply chains have raised concerns for businesses across the industry. As businesses continue to grow their reliance on third-party vendors, cloud-based services and global logistics networks, cybercriminals are leveraging vulnerabilities within these interconnected systems to launch attacks. By first breaching security gaps not detected by third-party vendors, attackers can establish a foothold and exploit these weaknesses to penetrate the network of primary business partners. From there, they move sideways through critical systems, eventually gaining access to sensitive data, financial assets, intellectual property, and even operations management. Recent prominent breaches, like the 2024 ransomware attack that hit…
Doctors without borders target humanitarian workers and bash Israel for blocking aid and mass murders to Gaza.According to the Medical Doctors of Borderless Health Institutions (MSF), Palestinian lives are systematically destroyed as Israel shows a “blatant neglect” of the safety of humanitarian workers, just as it shows Israel’s continued bombardment of the Gaza Strip. “Gaza has been transformed into a tomb for the Palestinians and the masses of those who come to their aid,” Enclave’s MSF emergency coordinator Amande Bazerolle said in a statement Wednesday. Last month, Israeli forces fired a fire on an ambulance in Gaza, killing 15 doctors…
April 16, 2025Ravi LakshmananCyberspy/Network Security Cybersecurity researchers unearthed a new controller component related to a known backdoor called BPFDOOR as part of a cyberattack targeting the telecommunications, finance and retail sectors of South Korea, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Malaysia and Egypt in 2024. “The controller can open a reverse shell,” said Fernando Mercês of Trend Micro Researcher in a technical report released earlier this week. “This allows lateral movement, allowing attackers to enter a deeper compromised network, allowing them to control more systems and access sensitive data. The campaign comes from a threat group that tracks it as DecisivearchItect, Red Dev…
Intro: Why can I log in? SaaS applications are the backbone of modern organizations, driving productivity and operational efficiency. However, all new apps introduce critical security risks through app integration and multiple users, creating simple access points for threat access stakeholders. As a result, SaaS breaches increased, and according to the May 2024 XM Cyber Report, misconceptions of identity and qualifications caused 80% of security exposure. Subtle signs of compromise are lost in noise, and then multi-stage attacks become undetected due to the siloed solution. Think about account takeovers with Entra IDs, escalating privileges on GitHub, and removing data from…
An international team led by the University of Geneva (Uniguet) has discovered the most remote Spiral Galaxy candidate known to date. Formation just a billion years after the Big Bang, the Milky Way-like spiral galaxy exhibits a very mature structure with old bulging in the middle, a large star-forming disc and a well-defined spiral arm. This discovery is made using data from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and provides important insights into how galaxies quickly form and evolve in the early universe. The history of the spiral galaxy Large spiral galaxies like the Milky Way are expected to take billions…

On Wednesday, Google suspended 39.2 million ad accounts on its platform in 2024, more than triple the number of times its previous year, with the latest crackdown on advertising fraud. By leveraging the large-scale language model (LLM) and using signals such as business spoofing and illegal payment details, search giants said they can suspend “majority” advertising accounts before serving their ads. Last year, Google launched over 50 LLM enhancements to improve safety enforcement mechanisms across all platforms. “These AI models are extremely important to us and have brought about a series of impressive improvements, but humans are involved in the…
