Microsoft Outlook was reportedly targeted over 10,000 times this summer by a single threat actor, which is believed to be aligned with Russia.

Cybersecurity company Proofpoint recently unveiled its research announcing that a group they call TA422 (or Forest Blizzard, Pawn Storm, Fancy Bear, and BlueDelta) was seen attempting daily hacking into the same accounts. It seems that this is a continuation of an earlier campaign by TA422 against various organizations in Europe and North America. US intelligence links the group to its Russian counterpart, the GRU.

Rosacea is a skin condition that causes reddened skin and rash, usually on the nose and cheeks. There is no test for rosacea, so health care providers will typically diagnose it based on the appearance of the skin and your health history. They may run tests to rule out any other conditions.

What is rosacea? It is a long-term disease that causes reddened skin and pimples, usually on the face. It can also make the skin thicker and cause eye problems.

The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the most important stabilizer of lateral dislocation of the patella. Single-limb (SL) and double-limb (DL) graft MPFL reconstructions have been increasingly used to treat recurrent patellar dislocations, but the clinical efficacy of SL versus DL graft MPFL reconstructions remains controversial owing to the inconsistent conclusions of previous studies.

When motoring content firm Hagerty published its video review of the Tesla Cybertruck, automotive journalist Jason Cammisa lightly noted that Tesla had sent other auto CEOs a pamphlet called “How to Design a 48-Volt Vehicle.” Cammisa seemed like he was joking in the video, so his comments were mostly taken in stride by the electric vehicle community.

But as per a recent comment from Ford CEO Jim Farley, it appears that Tesla really did send out a “How to Design a 48-Volt Vehicle” guide to other auto CEOs. In a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Farley noted that Tesla was definitely not joking, as Ford had received the document.

Farley also remarked that Ford had received the pamphlet on December 5, 2023. The Ford CEO actually seemed like he appreciated the document, as he thanked Elon Musk and stated that the guide would be “great for the industry.” Elon Musk, for his part, seemed to appreciate the Ford CEO’s reaction to the 48V guide. In a response on X, Musk simply noted, “You’re welcome.”

Cambridge researchers have identified magnetic monopoles in hematite, suggesting new possibilities for advanced, eco-friendly computing technologies. This first-time observation of emergent monopoles in a natural magnet could unlock new avenues in quantum material research.

Researchers have discovered magnetic monopoles – isolated magnetic charges – in a material closely related to rust, a result that could be used to power greener and faster computing technologies.

Researchers led by the University of Cambridge used a technique known as diamond quantum sensing to observe swirling textures and faint magnetic signals on the surface of hematite, a type of iron oxide.
