Right now, young people – particularly Gen Z – typically do not see professions in data or computer science as particularly glamorous. A report by analytics provider Exasol in June found that less than half (49%) viewed data science as a viable career option, a conclusion largely blamed on employers, educators and the wider technology industry doing a poor job at making it sound like a field worth pursuing. Compounding the issue is the fact that data science is steeped in technical jargon – terms like “data literacy” and “algorithm” are unlikely to get anyone excited, let alone a generation that has grown up on a diet of smartphones and disposable media....

Naturally, this also scuppered the chances of promotions and pay rises. According to a July survey by jobs site Monster.com, 86% of workers feel that their career stalled as a result of COVID-19, while 80% feel that their current employers don’t offer a chance to progress. Consequently, 79% of workers feel pressure to push their careers further as the pandemic ends – yet another sign that businesses could face a wave of resignations as the jobs market opens up again....

One such tool is Tunabelly Software’s TG Pro. This utility is a one-stop-shop utility for temperature monitoring, fan control, and diagnostics for all Macs.

Yes, but professionals who push their hardware to the limits with heavyweight tasks such as video rendering will benefit from having manual control over the thermals. And even if you don’t want to control the fans, you can use TG Pro to keep an eye on the various temperature sensors inside your Mac....

Detailed by cybersecurity researchers at security company Group-IB, the password-stealing campaign is attributed to 34 different Russian-speaking cyber-criminal groups involved in distributing malware-as-a-service schemes. People have fallen victim to the attacks across the world, with the US, Brazil, India, Germany, and Indonesia most commonly targeted. By using information-stealing malware, including Raccoon and Redline stealers, cyber criminals have collectively infected more than 890,000 users and stolen over 50 million passwords – as well as stealing details of over 103,000 bank cards and their data, which could be used to steal digital cash from more than 113,000 crypto wallets, according to the security company....

Active since at least 2019, the campaign used Facebook, Instagram and emails to pose as the fake persona “Marcella Flores”. The attackers could spend months building up a rapport with targets via messages and emails before distributing malware after the trust was gained. The campaign has been detailed by cybersecurity researchers at Proofpoint who’ve linked it to TA456, also known as Tortoiseshell – a state-backed Iranian hacking group with ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) branch of the Iranian military....

(A screenshot from the Globant ad.) Should I work or should I not? Should I quit for another job or should I not? Should I leave the country or should I not? Companies, too, bathe in the difficult knowledge that their own transformation has to be digital. But it’s all quite difficult. Why, a recent survey suggested that most companies privately admit they have no clue about digital transformation. One problem, perhaps, is all the nonsense spouted by supposedly expert consultants....

That’s what happened to one organisation, as detailed by cybersecurity researchers at Sophos, which fell victim to multiple different ransomware attacks within a short period of time. The unspecified target fell victim to three prominent forms of ransomware – LockBit, Hive and BlackCat – with each cyber criminal gang encrypting files and leaving their own ransom demand for a decryption key. According to analysis of the incidents, the first sign of suspicious activity occurred on December 2nd 2021, with an unknown attacker, possibly an initial access broker – a malicious hacker who breaches networks and sells access to other cyber criminals – establishing a remote desktop protocol (RDP) session on the organisation’s domain controller for almost an hour....
