Devious phishing method bypasses MFA using remote access software
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: cybercrime/malcode
The researcher also told BleepingComputer that websites, such as LinkedIn, detect man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks and deactivate accounts after successful logins.
To overcome this obstacle, mr.d0x came up with a devious new phishing technique that uses the noVNC remote access software and browsers running in kiosk mode to display email login prompts running on the attacker’s server but shown in the victim’s browser.
VNC is a remote access software that allows remote users to connect to and control a logged-in user’s desktop. Most people connect to a VNC server through dedicated VNC clients that open the remote desktop in a similar manner to Windows Remote Desktop.

Inside life in Elon Musk’s Mars colony — with vegan diets and ‘terraforming’
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: Elon Musk, engineering, environmental, space travel
Billionaire Elon Musk has long been vocal about his ambitions for colonizing Mars – here’s everything we know about his plan.
Musk founded SpaceX in 2002 and since then has constantly reiterated one of his biggest goals is to help make humankind a multi-planetary species.
In order to achieve this otherworldly feat, the world’s richest man (at the time of publishing) turned his attention to the red planet, located approximately 33.9 million miles away from Earth.

Crypto companies are tempting top talent away from Big Tech to build ‘Web3’
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: bitcoin, blockchains, finance
There’s another thing that’s attracting talent at Big Tech companies to Web3: money.
According to data from Blind, a social network for tech professionals, bitcoin exchange Coinbase offers as much as $900,000 a year for software engineers.
Investment into crypto companies has surged, meaning they’ve got much more cash to spare on lucrative compensation packages for big hires. Blockchain start-ups raised a record $25 billion in venture capital last year, according to CB Insight figures.

Long-Standing Enigma Finally Cracked — Link Discovered Between High Blood Pressure and Diabetes
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: biotech/medical
The long-standing enigma of why so many patients suffering with high blood pressure (known as hypertension) also have diabetes (high blood sugar) has finally been cracked by an international team led by the universities of Bristol, UK, and Auckland, New Zealand.
The important new discovery has shown that a small protein cell glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) couples the body’s control of blood sugar and blood pressure.
Professor Julian Paton, a senior author, and Director of Manaaki Mãnawa – The Centre for Heart Research at the University of Auckland, said: “We’ve known for a long time that hypertension and diabetes are inextricably linked and have finally discovered the reason, which will now inform new treatment strategies.”

£3 Million Funding For Research Into Technology That Could Cure Heart Failure
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
Eight cutting-edge heart failure projects are set to receive millions of pounds’ worth of funding from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) this year, with the money raised, fittingly enough, by the London Marathon.
Longevity. Technology: Heart disease is the world’s greatest killer, with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year [1]. With organs for transplant in short supply, the focus is turning to regenerative medicine – getting the heart to repair itself – and the BHF is planning to fund eight projects all aimed at finding ways to cure heart failure. Given that a picture paints a thousand words, BHF has made the smart move of showcasing this regenerative research through a stunning set of images that shows the Foundation’s desire to not just ameliorate the symptoms of heart disease, or to extend patients’ lives, but to cure heart disease by regenerating, regrowing or replacing damaged cells and tissues.
“Heart failure is a debilitating condition that dramatically affects the lives of almost 1 million people in the UK,” commented Professor Metin Avkiran, BHF Associate Medical Director. “BHF-funded research has spear-headed treatments to give people with heart failure longer, healthier lives, but there is no cure. Regenerative medicine offers that hope.

Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: drones, health
Draganfly is celebrating a major health and safety milestone with its spraying drones disinfecting more than 500,000 seats using the company’s proprietary pathogen and surface sanitizer technology.
The company’s spraying technology was also implemented ahead of NASCAR’s June 2021 tripleheader weekend at the Nashville Superspeedway and Barrett-Jackson’s March 2021 collector car auction in Arizona.
