Iran’s government says it shut down internet to protect against cyberattacks

techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2026-03-09 07:44:19

Earlier this week, virtually everyone in Iran lost access to the internet in what was called a “near-total national internet blackout.” At the time, it was unclear what happened or who was responsible for the shutdown, which has severely limited Iranians’ means to get information about the ongoing war with Israel, as well as their ability to communicate with loved ones inside and outside of the country. Now, Iran’s government has confirmed that it ordered the shutdown to protect against Israel

One of the best things about Summer Game Fest is discovering games that blend some of your favorite classics into something wholly new. Crisol: Theater of Idols is a game with clear BioShock influence in its first-person shooter exploration, but melds some cult horror from games like Resident Evil 4 into the mix.

Storage prices, to put it politely, have been all over the place lately. You could get motion sickness watching them rise and fall and rise again, and there’s of course the ever-present threat of tariffs that would suddenly balloon the prices of storage and many other tech goods. So when the roller-coaster of storage pricing rolls downward, it’s smart to grab some while you can.

YouTube creators unaware Google uses their videos to train AI

A hot potato: When it comes to tech companies training their AI models, it seems everything is fair game. Google, for example, uses some of the billions of videos on YouTube to train Gemini and Veo 3, and many creators are unaware that it's happening. With more than 20 billion videos on the platform, YouTube is a treasure trove of data for AI companies to exploit – and many already have.
