It’s important to be aware of the context....

Different types of encryption algorithms have different benefits and downsides. For example, symmetric encryption algorithms are often more efficient, making them well-suited to bulk data encryption. However, they need the shared secret key to be shared between the sender and recipient over a secure channel before message encryption/decryption can be performed. Asymmetric cryptography is less efficient but does not have this requirement. Encryption is performed using public keys, which, as their name suggests, are designed to be public....

No, ransomware criminals now steal data first to put even more pressure on an organization to pay the ransom. This double-whammy is placing corporations in a squeeze: pay the ransom and protect any personal data caught up in the attack, or pay a data protection non-compliance fine, which in the case of GDPR can be up to 4% of global revenue or 20 million euros (whichever is higher)....

The Safari block has been mooted as part of a package of moves to combat phishing attacks: for example, PayPal will warn users of older browsers that they are vulnerable to such attacks, and will eventually block older browsers from accessing its service.

In a response to an article on the Wall Street Journal, PayPal Corporate Communications spokesman, Michael Oldenburg said: “PayPal is developing features to block customers from logging into PayPal when using obsolete browsers on outdated or unsupported operating systems....

Earlier this month, I detailed my experience with Apple’s new Object Capture API, which was introduced with macOS Monterey to let users create 3D models using the iPhone camera. Now developer Ethan Saadia has created PhotoCatch, a new app based on this new API that makes the whole process simpler. With the Object Capture API, users can capture objects and turn them into 3D models in just a few minutes.
