bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2026-01-17 00:02:12

Kerberoasting is a common attack targeting Microsoft Active Directory, enabling attackers to compromise service accounts with low risk of detection. Because it manipulates legitimate accounts, it can be highly effective. However, robust password security can keep the criminals at bay. First, what is Kerberoasting?

Time is running out to save on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 launch Friday, July 25th. That’s soon! Even if you’re not the type of person who usually pre-orders things, there’s good reason to consider doing it before then. The biggest perk is that you’ll get upgraded to the 512GB version of either device without paying the usual $119.99 premium, and trade-in values will be better before the launch versus after. The ability to get more for less expires at the end of tomorrow, July 24th. As you might expect, each re

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2026-01-17 00:00:00

Strawberries are the most popular berry in the U.S. for both consumers and farmers alike. They’re also some of the most pesticide-reliant fruits and consistently top the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen” list of the most contaminated produce. TRIC Robotics, a San Luis Obispo, California-based, think it can help strawberry farmers reduce chemical use with the help of UV light and robots.

Broadband Deserts and Reproductive Care: The Devastating Impact on Health Resources

We don’t often think about the internet as being good for our health.
