U.S. warns of Iranian cyber threats on critical infrastructure

U.S. cyber agencies, the FBI, and NSA issued an urgent warning today about potential cyberattacks from Iranian-affiliated hackers targeting U.S. critical infrastructure. CISA says there are no indications of an ongoing campaign but urges critical infrastructure organizations and other potential targets to monitor their defense due to the current unrest in the Middle East and cyber attacks previously linked to Iran. In a joint fact sheet, the cyber agencies warn that Defense Industrial Base (DI

Ask HN: 80s electronics book club; anyone remember this illustrator?

In the early 80's in the US, a popular DIY electronics magazine had a book of the month club that I loved. Most were small and leather bound hardback with topics like: make your own hydrophone; augmented reality (required a full room and a boom arm, sadly); an LCD model rocket launcher ignition; computer vision; lots and lots of robots. One book I remember (large, softcover, yellow cover) featured black and white, pen and ink illustrations of fantastically complex robots and machines. One that

Identities of More Than 80 Americans Stolen for North Korean IT Worker Scams

For years, the North Korean government has found a burgeoning source of sanctions-evading revenue by tasking its citizens with secretly applying for remote tech jobs in the West. A newly revealed takedown operation by American law enforcement makes clear just how much of the infrastructure used to pull off those schemes has been based in the United States—and just how many Americans' identities were stolen by the North Korean impersonators to carry them out. On Monday, the Department of Justice

I tested a bunch of Switch 2 screen protectors, and these are the best

is an editor covering deals and commerce. He joined in 2018, and served as commerce editor at Polygon until May 2025. A glass screen protector is one of a few “set it and forget it” purchases that every Switch 2 owner should make, along with buying a microSD Express card and a protective case for the console. In fact, it should be a priority to stick one onto the console’s screen as soon as possible to avoid accidental scratches. I’ve been installing and removing Switch 2 screen protectors to

Instagram now lets you share Spotify songs with sound to Stories

Instagram announced Monday that it’s finally adding the ability for users to listen to previews of songs that they’ve shared from Spotify to Stories. While Instagram has long allowed users to share Spotify songs to their Stories, it would do so without sound, and simply provide a link to the song on the streaming platform. Now, when a user posts a song to their Story, viewers will be able to listen to a preview of the song right within Instagram. The small change, yet notable change makes it e

New to Linux? Seven things every beginner should know

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET I can still remember the moment I switched from Windows to Linux. Back then, I didn't have anyone there to tell me what to expect. It would have been nice to get even a bit of advice from someone with Linux experience in the know to say, "Hey, you'll want to know about this before you start down that path." It would have made things easier. Instead, I took just dove right in, hoping I could figure it all out as I went. The good news: Linux today is n

US lawmakers allege that OnePlus phones transmit data to Chinese servers without user consent

A pair of US lawmakers have called on the US Department of Commerce to investigate OnePlus over allegations that the company's devices transmit data to Chinese servers without user consent, according to a report by Reuters . This is a bipartisan effort, with Republican Representative John Moolenaar (MI) and Democratic Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL) spearheading the calls for an investigation. There's no actual data to go along with these allegations, but the lawmakers claim to have see

Asynchronous Error Handling Is Hard

(Ed. note: This article was originally published on The CUDA Handbook blog on November 2, 2023.) Every API designer has struggled with the question of how best to propagate errors to their callers, since before the term “API” was invented. Even decades ago (say 30+ years), interface designers knew to separate the error return from the payload, in functions that return other results to their caller. Since it is sometimes useful to know what not to do: My favorite example of an antipattern in th

Auth for B2B SaaS: it's not like auth for consumer software

Auth for business software (B2B) shouldn’t look the same as auth for consumer software (B2C). In many cases, it actually can’t work the same way. I’ll cover three important buckets of differences between B2B auth and B2C auth: Logical isolation and tenancy models Priorities and trade-offs Protocols and features By the way – let’s use auth loosely here and let it subsume related stuff like user management. Similarly, let’s just imagine away the vague grey area between consumers and businesses

Switzerland says government data stolen in ransomware attack

The government in Switzerland is informing that sensitive information from various federal offices has been impacted by a ransomware attack at the third-party organization Radix. The hackers have stolen data from Radix systems and later leaked it on the dark web, the Swiss government says. The exposed data is being analyzed with the help of the country’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to determine which government agencies are impacted and to what effect. “The foundation Radix has been

Xbox Needs to Get Weirder or Die Trying

Xbox is in a weird place right now, and I’m not the only one who thinks so. In fact, people with more important opinions on the subject than myself seem to agree: if Microsoft doesn’t get its shit together on hardware, the box as we know it is cooked. Laura Fryer, the former director of the Xbox Advanced Technology Group for the original Xbox project back in May 2000 and former executive producer for Microsoft Games Studios up until the Xbox 360 days, put it bluntly in a recent video. “Obviousl

We Found the Best Facial Sunscreens of 2025 After Testing 87 Products

As Rimtepathip mentioned, the best sunscreen is one that you will actually use and reapply. "There are still keywords to look for depending on a person’s skin type," she adds. "If a person’s skin is dry, look for sunscreens that have moisturizing ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid. For oily skin, look for the words 'oil-free' or 'noncomedogenic.' These sunscreens are less likely to clog pores and cause outbreaks. Mineral sunscreens are less irritating to people with sensitive skin. They should

Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Continuous glucose monitoring has been a thing for a while. It's a probe that sits just inside your body and measures blood glucose levels frequently. Obviously this is most useful for type 1 diabetics, who need to regulate their blood glucose manually. (At this point, I would be amiss not to give a nod to the book Systems Medicine, which I think most readers would find fascinating. I can't judge whether it's correct or not, but it is a delightful exploration of a bunch of maladies from the per
