AT&T has released an LTE and LTE-M gateway device to backhaul data from IoT sensors over cellular in global markets. The new solution, presented by AT&T as a ‘guardian device’, integrates silicon, software, and cloud services from Microsoft Azure. It is positioned, like a private network gateway or hotspot, to forward data from IoT devices…
FarmVille, one of the first of Facebook‘s staple games, is shutting down after 11 years. While FarmVille was a contentious part of Facebook, it was nevertheless one of the platform’s earliest gaming successes. So this is the end of an era — whether a good or bad one is entirely dependent upon whether you played FarmVille back in the…
As ransomware attacks against critical infrastructure continue to spike in recent months, cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a new entrant that has been actively trying to conduct multistage attacks on large corporate networks of medical labs, banks, manufacturers, and software developers in Russia. The ransomware gang, codenamed “OldGremlin” and believed to be a Russian-speaking threat actor, has…
US telecoms giant AT&T will provide global connectivity for Howden Uptime, an IIoT solution which remotely monitors heavy machinery. Howden Group manufactures rotating equipment such as fans, compressors, steam turbines, and heaters. The company is headquartered near Glasgow, UK but produces equipment used globally across industries including power generation, petrochemical, waste, water, cement, mining, and…

Amsterdam and Helsinki today became the first cities in the world to launch open AI registers that track how algorithms are being used in the municipalities. In a press release, the cities said the registers would help ensure that the AI used in public services operates on the same principles of responsibility, transparency, and security…
Cybersecurity researchers uncovered fresh evidence of an ongoing cyberespionage campaign against Indian defense units and armed forces personnel at least since 2019 with an aim to steal sensitive information. Dubbed “Operation SideCopy” by Indian cybersecurity firm Quick Heal, the attacks have been attributed to an advanced persistent threat (APT) group that has successfully managed to stay…
Starlink’s satellites can be updated to provide navigation which is more accurate and less prone to interference than GPS. The findings have been published in a non-peer-reviewed paper on preprint repository arXiv by Todd Humphreys and Peter Iannucci at the Radionavigation Laboratory at The University of Texas. Humphreys and Iannucci propose a new system that harnesses Starlink’s…
