Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-05 20:44:32

news.ycombinator.com Jessica Lyons 2026-03-05 10:06:34

By now, the North Korean fake IT worker problem is so ubiquitous that if you think you don't have any phony resumes or imposters in your interview queue, you're asleep at the wheel. "Almost every CISO of a Fortune 500 company that I've spoken to — I'll just characterize as dozens that I've spoken to — have admitted that they had a North Korean IT worker problem," said Mandiant Consulting CTO Charles Carmakal during a threat-intel roundtable, admitting that even Mandiant's parent company Google

Report: Apple’s all-new smart home hub is no longer likely to launch this year

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2026-03-05 16:32:57

The all-new smart home hub was supposed to be Apple’s star of the show this year. There was just one problem: Siri. After a multitude of Siri hiccups and delays, it begun to look more and more unlikely that the product would launch in 2025. Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is reporting that a 2026 launch is almost a guarantee. Originally, it seemed all but confirmed that we’d see the Apple smart home hub around March or so. The product was well rumored throughout 2024, and we essentially know every
