Dark Side of AI that No One Talk's about - Tricks and Manipulations to Exploit Human Behaviour

Image
Some of the world’s biggest tech firms have soared in value over the last year. Investment  is simply a bet that AI increases profitability for the firms involved. These massive valuations  are bets that AI will hugely increase future profitability. In some cases these are bets that  AI will improve in capabilities towards some kind of  “artificial superintelligence” capable  of performing everything a human can – or even more. This could raise the living standards  of everyone on Earth. If investors begin to fear that AI profits won’t materialize they will attempt to reclaim  their investments. This realization can appear quite suddenly and can be triggered by  seemingly trivial events. It doesn’t require a big needle to pop a bubble. AI companies more generally do not appear to be profitable right now. Investors are not  putting their money into today’s losses – they are betting on an AI future. However, the big four – Meta, Alphabet, Micro...

Is Your Open Source Software Secretly Vulnerable to Hacking?

Image
An Open-source software (OSS) can absolutely be vulnerable to hacking. If you still believe open-source software is inherently more secure, you may have fallen for one of the biggest corporate lies. Many people operate under the assumption that "open source = more secure," but the reality is more complicated. The key is to understand that open source changes the nature of security, but it does not automatically guarantee it. So, Why Open-Source Software's Can Be Vulnerable? Everyone's Visibility, Even Attackers': Anyone can examine the source code, which is the fundamental tenet of open source. This includes white hat hackers who want to identify and address vulnerabilities, but it also encompasses malevolent actors ("black hat" hackers) who are searching for vulnerabilities to take advantage of. They can examine the code whenever they choose; they are not required to reverse-engineer the software. The Limitations of the "Linus's Law" Assu...

DDOS Attack Explained : How They BANKRUPT Giants and Spark Cyber Protests

Image
Did you know that the Anonymous hacker group often launches DDoS attacks before hacking into big tech corporations? But what exactly is a DDoS attack? Imagine a rush hour traffic jam so intense that no cars can enter a store's parking lot—that's what a DDoS attack does to websites. It floods the target with overwhelming fake traffic from thousands or even millions of compromised computers (botnets), rendering websites inaccessible or painfully slow. Anonymous hacker groups do use DDoS attacks against large corporations, but it's important to understand the "why" and the "what it actually accomplishes." The term "hack" refers to breaking into a system to steal data, however a DDoS (Distributed Denial-of-Service) assault is not the same as that. Rather, it is similar to purposefully causing a huge traffic jam that blocks a store's entrance. The objective is to flood a website or online service with so much fraudulent traffic that it is inacce...

If You're a Telegram User, Then You Might Be in DANGER!

Image
Social media is a hotbed for scammers and hackers, telegram is no different. Telegram has become one of the most popular messaging apps in the world.  It’s fast, easy to use, and many people believe it’s very secure. With over 900 million users, it’s trusted by individuals, communities, and even businesses. But here’s the truth — Telegram is not as private or safe as most people think. Some of its features can actually put your information at risk if you don’t use them carefully. 1. Telegram’s Group Chats Aren’t Always Private Telegram’s group chats can have thousands of members. This makes them great for organizing or sharing updates, but they are not fully private. By default, messages in groups are not end-to-end encrypted, which means Telegram and anyone in the chat could access them if they wanted or were forced to. Also, group data like your username, profile photo, and when you send messages can be recorded. This is risky, especially for people in politically sensitive or hi...

These 6 DEADLY Myths about SMARTPHONES might BLOW YOUR MIND

Image
 Myth 1) Modern smartphones are better at hiding you because of all the stealth apps available. NO!!... THIS IS A BIG NO!!. Smartphones are smarter, but they're not good at hiding you. The simplest defence against digital surveillance is to operate outside of it. If you think that changing to older communication methods like old-fashioned button phones like Nokia and BlackBerry - it is the most effective way to vanish from a superhacker's radar, you are absolutely correct. Myth 2) Where you activate your phone is irrelevant. When you turn on your phone in any random location, it sends a signal to several people who want to make your life—well, not really private at all—so it is not all that different. Perhaps not. Initially, I do not mind you. For most, it is the slow-boiling frog situation. Initially, they will wish to learn more about stuff like: Where do you reside? Which websites do you visit? What search terms are you entering into Google? where your Mastercard is being ...
