These days, hackers don't break in — they log in. Using valid credentials, cybercriminals bypass security systems while appearing legitimate to monitoring tools. And the problem is widespread; Google Cloud reports that weak or nonexistent credential protection facilitates 47% of cloud breaches, while IBM X-Force attributes nearly one-third of global cyberattacks to account compromises. So what does this mean for your organization’s defenses? Here’s what you need to know about how to protect y

The anonymous image board 4chan has survived years of controversy. It weathered user and advertiser boycotts as well as damning accusations that it incubated hate speech that may have fueled mass shootings. Users have convened on 4chan to plan hacks like DDoS attacks, and conspiracy theories that festered on 4chan even reportedly inspired the January 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol.

OpenAI just launched a powerful new image generation model. In their announcement post, they touted the new model's many new capabilities, including photorealism, better knowledge of the world, and the ability to learn from user-uploaded images. But the most noteworthy of these changes, in my opinion, is the new text-rendering capability. At long last, a frontier lab has produced an image gen model that renders text as text, instead of as melty AI slop. This makes generated AI images much mor
