Low-wage support workers become a new gateway for cyberattacks

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2026-03-08 13:53:00

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

Testing a Robust Netcode with Godot The biggest challenge I faced in developing Little Brats! was the online multiplayer part: synchronizing computers with sometimes consequent latency while maintaining the “fast-paced action game” aspect was far from simple. I'll tell you all about it!

Spanish blackout report: Power plants meant to stabilize voltage didn’t

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-12 08:15:24

The blackout that took down the Iberian grid serving Spain and Portugal in April was the result of a number of smaller interacting problems, according to an investigation by the Spanish government. The report concludes that several steps meant to address a small instability made matters worse, eventually leading to a self-reinforcing cascade where high voltages caused power plants to drop off the grid, thereby increasing the voltage further. Critically, the report suggests that the Spanish grid
