In my two decades of experience as a hired hacker conducting stress tests on companies’ digital identities, the landscape has drastically transformed. No longer do I need to rely on intricate hacks; instead, I can effortlessly log in, a trend that cybercriminals are increasingly capitalizing on.

The shift in tactics raises a crucial question: why has this method become so popular? The answer lies in the diminishing safeguard of our identities. Fragments…

In a groundbreaking return to lunar exploration, NASA, in partnership with commercial companies, achieved the first moon landing since 1972 in February 2024.

In 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi envisioned a “digital India,” fostering innovation and connectivity for 1.2 billion citizens. Fast forward to 2024, and India boasts a 52.4% internet penetration rate with 751.5 million active users.

In 2022 alone, the country witnessed 84 shutdowns, surpassing even conflict-ridden regions like Ukraine.…

When her cellphone service went down this week due to an AT&T network outage, Bernice Hudson didn’t panic. She just called the people she wanted to talk to the old-fashioned way—on her landline telephone, the kind she grew up with and refuses to get rid of even though she has a mobile phone. “Don’t get me wrong, I like cellphones,” the 69-year-old Alexandria, Virginia, resident said Thursday, the day of the outage. “But I’m still old school.” Having a working landline puts her in select company. In an increasingly digital United States, they’re more and more a remnant of a…
