Low-wage tech support workers become a new gateway for cyberattacks

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-09-23 17:53:00

Editor's take: As businesses increasingly rely on outsourced tech support to cut costs, the risks associated with these operations are coming into sharper focus. The threat is no longer just about technical vulnerabilities; it's about the people behind the screens, and the growing pressure they face from both economic hardship and sophisticated cybercriminals. Hackers are increasingly turning the very systems designed to help customers – outsourced tech support and call centers – into powerful

BBC threatens AI firm with legal action over unauthorised content use

Chatbots and image generators that can generate content response to simple text or voice prompts in seconds have swelled in popularity since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022. But their rapid growth and improving capabilities has prompted questions about their use of existing material without permission. Much of the material used to develop generative AI models has been pulled from a massive range of web sources using bots and crawlers, which automatically extract site data. The rise in th

Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Review: Great Value Gaming

It's AMD's turn. After months of $2,000+ GPUs and long discussions of DLSS, we're finally on the red team's turf. AMD's strength historically lies at the budget end of the spectrum, where the majority of gamers are playing at 1080p, and spending $1,000 or less for their entire system. Even though we really recommend splurging on a GPU, that's just not the reality for most folks. An $800 GPU needs $1,200 in other parts, and at that point most people who aren't into PC gaming will start shopping

Even if you won’t, other people are already making close connections with “AI companions” or “falling in love” with ChatGPT.
