bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-08-11 01:02:12

Imagine your organization has just won a contract to handle sensitive law-enforcement data – you might be a cloud provider, a software vendor, or an analytics firm. It won’t be long before CJIS is top of mind. You know the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Security Policy governs how criminal histories, fingerprints, and investigation files must be protected, but beyond that, it all feels a bit opaque. Whether you’re a veteran security pro or new to the world of criminal-justice data

Adam Smigielski/Getty Images Over the last few decades, compromised usernames and passwords have typically been at the root of some of the most sensational, damaging, and costly data breaches. An incessant drumbeat of advice about how to choose and use strong passwords and how not to fall prey to social engineering attacks has done little to keep threat actors at bay. Additional factors of authentication, such as the transmission of one-time passwords or passcodes (OTPs) over SMS or email, are

Ford’s New Plan Makes Buying a Car or EV Surprisingly Easy This Summer

On the surface, Ford’s latest announcement is a fantastic deal for car buyers. The company is retiring its “employee pricing for all” campaign and rolling out an aggressive “Zero, Zero, Zero” summer sales event: zero down payment, zero percent interest for 48 months, and zero payments for the first 90 days. It’s a tempting offer, but when you look closer at the economic landscape, it starts to look less like a confident summer promotion and more like a defensive maneuver against a gathering sto

Few lifesaving tools are as effective as ready-to-use therapeutic foods, known as RUTFs, which are specially designed to treat severe malnutrition and often resemble fortified peanut butter. Despite announcing a $50 million pledged to fund RUTFs earlier this summer, the Trump administration's deep cuts to foreign assistance have wreaked havoc on RUTF distribution globally, and the State Department hasn’t placed orders with leading suppliers this year.

In large parts of a country with several major languages, it vies with Hindi—the most commonly used Indian language—as the spoken language of choice.

Neanderthals operated prehistoric “fat factory” on German lakeshore

The practice, uncovered at the Neumark-Nord 2 archaeological site, shows that Neanderthals had a much more advanced conception of nutrition, planning, and resource management than previously believed.
