Check out TechSpot’s new article featuring LMG Security’s @sherridavidoff and @MDurrin on how “Evil AI” is accelerating cyber threats.

The article recaps their #RSAC2025 presentation, where they demonstrated how rogue AI tools like WormGPT—AI stripped of ethical guardrails—can rapidly detect and help exploit real-world vulnerabilities.

From identifying SQL flaws to delivering working Log4j and Magento exploits, Sherri and Matt reveal how AI is arming cybercriminals faster than traditional defenses can keep up.

I can’t understand how someone under 60 may not know the keyboard shortcuts CTRL+C and CTRL+V... And here we’re not talking about some poor percentage but about 40% and it’s among STUDENTS, i.e. young, educated people!

#Google has recently been cleaning up #GMail by deleting old and unused accounts. But I guess this erasing went a little too far 😂 Seriously, the loss of data from users’ #cloud disks is a big fuck-up!

There are certainly a lot of people here using legal WinRAR 😝 Remember to update! 😅

Someone came up with the idea that with a powerful laser you can make roads and paved landing pads on the moon 🤯 I must be admitted that it would solve many problems caused by the ubiquitous dust there. I just hope that no Pole will work when doing these roads, because after a while they would be hollow and uneven 😂

13kWp would allow you to charge these batteries with a capacity of 300kWh in about 23 hours and we are talking about laboratory conditions, because for such this power is given. I am rather skeptical about this project, but I would like to see the results of these tests in Sweden, which is not one of the sunniest regions.

You probably know this situation well:
You - Dear Printer, print for me these two A4 pages in black and white.
Printer - No yellow ink. Unable to print.
You - But you don’t need yellow ink to print black and white!
Printer - No yellow ink. Unable to print.

Don’t you have the impression that #Intel has been having difficult times lately? The competition seriously gives them a hard time, and in my opinion their serious problems began with the popularization of #ARM.

Green solar power is one of future main power sources and perovskite the way to boost its efficiency. Speaking about it, it is impossible not to mention the Polish accent - I recommend searching in Google „Olga Malinkiewicz”!

Why Steam Deck Is One of the Most Significant PC Gaming Moments in Years

As we get closer to the Deck's first anniversary, the time's perfect to look at the impact it's had on the PC gaming market.

I am not ultra concerned. A new encryption algorithm that this advance in quantum computing can't break quickly will probably be developed.
