CloudFlare said Thursday it autonomously blocked the largest ever recorded distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack, reaching a peak of 7.3 terabits per second (TBPS). The attack, detected in mid-May 2025, targeted an unknown hosting provider. “Hosting providers and critical internet infrastructure are increasingly becoming targets for DDOS attacks,” said Omer Yoachimik of CloudFlare. “The 7.3 TBPS attack provided 37.4 terabytes in 45 seconds.” Earlier this January, the web infrastructure and security company said it had mitigated a 5.6 TBPS DDOS attack targeting unnamed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in East Asia. The attack came from the Mirai-Variant Botnet in October 2024. Then,…

New research reveals that the lack of visible role models for client-oriented roles creates major employment barriers for adults with learning disabilities, including Down syndrome, autism and Asperger’s. In the UK, there are 150,000 people with learning disabilities, but only 5% are currently employed. A Hilton survey of over 500 people with learning disabilities found that 79% believe they should do more to promote employment opportunities and the benefits of inclusive employment. It can have a significant impact on employment levels among people with learning disabilities. This is because three-quarters (74%) feel confident they will apply for roles if they…

As the large-scale carnivorous populations grow in Europe, Nofence offers a new way for farmers and wildlife to live together by helping animals follow natural instincts and escape in the event of an attack. Over the past half century, large carnivorous animals have revived prominently in Europe. This is a widely recognized conservation success made possible by conservation laws and habitat improvements. This is a biodiversity milestone, but presents a real challenge for livestock farmers, especially in mountainous and remote areas. As predator populations increase and territory expand, physical fencing has long been considered a line of defense, but has…

6G-Reference contributes to European leadership in microelectronic solutions for 6G communications and sensing infrastructure and develops hardware enablers for cell-free deployment. 6G hardware enablers for the Self-Free Coherent Communication & Sensing (6G-Reference) project target the hardware innovation of radio units, enabling systems that are 6G densely distributed for high data rates and sensing. 6G networks should include integrated sensing and communications, from chemical and physical sensing to localization and positioning. To allow for flexible deployment, fiber optic access can be used with several wireless unit access points without a hitch. Synchronization of airborne frequencies and time becomes a critical issue.…

Cybersecurity researchers have published more than 67 Github repositories that threat actors claim to provide Python-based hacking tools, but have discovered a new campaign that instead offers Trojanized Payloads. The activity, called Banana Squad by ReversingLabs, was downloaded more than 75,000 times in 2023 and is rated as a continuation of the Rogue Python campaign targeting Python Package Index (PYPI) repository with fake packages with information-type capabilities on Windows systems. The findings were built on a previous report from SANS’s Internet Storm Center in November 2024, and detailed the “Steam-Account-Checker” tool hosted on Github.[.]ru “).

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure is growing at a slower rate in rural America, according to an analysis by EV charging data analytics firm Paren. In a Daily Yonder article, Julia Tilton said, “As of the first quarter of 2025, 45% of rural counties installed at least one fast EV charging port, compared to 76.5% in Metropolitan County.” Rural chargers tend to be less utilised. “For privately funded charging stations to break investments, they must achieve a certain percentage that is typically greater than the teenager or low 20s.” State and federal funding can offset this “new charge split” by covering…

In the victory of Brooklyn Bike supporters, the judge ordered New York City to halt the planned removal of the protected bike lane at Bedford Avenue. The judge has yet to issue a final verdict, but “for now, street safety advocates have cried out that they have stopped plans for the city, at least for now, harming the infamous and dangerous streets.” According to the lawsuit, “despite the completion of the installation of the upgraded lane in October 2024, and the data showing both old ones. [painted lane] Since the upgraded design was installed, it has been safe or effective…

When Baiju Bhatt left his role as Robinhood’s Chief Creative Officer last year, only those close to him could have predicted his next move. If people aren’t paying much attention, that’s fine with Bhatt, who co-founded the trading app in 2013, five years after completing his master’s degree in mathematics at Stanford. This means there is less competition from his new company, AetherFlux. This has raised $60 million so far to prove that sparkling solar power from space is not a science fiction, and not a new chapter in both renewable energy and national defense. “If you happen to be…
