One among the topmost Domain Registrar Company, GoDaddy who have around 19 million customers have finally confirmed Data Breach as per Forbes report dated 5^th May,2020. A well-established firm’s employees like GoDaddy’s too, can easily fall prey to Hackers either by hook or by crook.

Talking about Cryptocurrencies, which is known to the world as Digital Currency, is no doubt, one amongst the best online investment trade. Though the stakes and the risk factor are high, still cryptocurrencies claim to have a huge future and is also called as the next generation digital currency.

Can Cryptocurrency be hacked?

This is one of the few questions, one, gets on their mind, when we think of any online investment trade like Cryptocurrency.

Regardless of whatever the experts may claim, stating these are very secured due to their unique way of functioning and their high security protection, Hackers do find a way out to attack these sites and this being a Digital currency site, the risk factor is definitely high. Though one is aware that hacking these sites may not be an easy task, as these sites are secured using Cryptography. Hackers did find a way out and incidence which have been happening with GoDaddy is an example.

So, what Happened with GoDaddy?

As per the reports mentioned on KrepsonSecurity which is a well-known cybersecurity blog, GoDaddy’s employees were tricked by few Hackers who got access of couple of cryptocurrency websites like NiceHash and Liquid‘s domain. 18^th Nov,2020 being the very recent attack on GoDaddy before this, in the month of March, 2020 using Vishing technique/Telephone Scam on the working support staff of GoDaddy, Fraudsters had got control of over close to six company’s domain which included a transaction brokering site too.

Is GoDaddy continuously targeted by Hackers?

Unfortunately, Yes. As per the Forbes report, in the month of May,2020 GoDaddy had openly confirmed of the Data Breach were around 28000 customers have been informed that their web hosting account credentials had been compromised. This data breach itself appears to have had occurred during the month of 19^th Oct 2019, which wasn’t discovered until April,2020.

How Did GoDaddy compensate to the March affected customers?

GoDaddy had said to Forbes that they would provide complimentary years’ worth of security and malware removable services for these affected customers.

What did the Hackers do after receiving, the domain access to Cryptocurrency Site?

The recent attack on NiceHash on 18th Nov, 2020 early morning, where the Mining service noticed that some settings of the Domain registration records have some unauthorized changes which were under the control of GoDaddy, which led to redirecting of emails and web traffic. Immediately NiceHash froze all its customers account for next 24 hours till they had verified all the domain settings were changed to their original settings. Their clients were even requested to change their passwords and enable two factor authentications to be on the safer side by the company. NiceHash founder Matjaz Skorjanc speaking to Krebs confirmed that the attackers did attempt to force password reset on third-party services, but their company was able to fend off these attempts.

Is 18^th November,2020 the only attack by Hackers on the cryptocurrency sites?

Unfortunately, No. In and around 13^th Nov,2020 the Hackers had first time attacked a cryptocurrency site named Liquid, and their domain registrar was yet again that of GoDaddy.

This incident was one of the very first related to hacking of cryptocurrency sites. The CEO of Liquid Mike Kayamori has mentioned in his companies blog that one of their core domain names incorrectly transferred control of the account and domain to malicious actor, which had given the actor the ability to change DNS record which would help the actor to have control of a number of internal email accounts. Mr. Kayamori has shared what necessities to be taken by their customers to avoid any crisis in his post and has requested his customers to change the passwords and 2FA credentials asap.

What did GoDaddy’s spokesperson say after both cryptocurrency sites been Hacked?

Speaking to Kreps the GoDaddy’s spokesperson mentioned that they had immediately locked down all the accounts involved in the incident and have reverted the changes done by the Hackers to the original settings and even have assisted the customers in gaining access back to their accounts. The spokesperson even stated that “threat actors become increasingly sophisticated and aggressive in their attacks; we are constantly educating employees about new tactics that might be used against them.”

GoDaddy or Hackers, who are to be blamed?

The Hackers who convinced the employees of GoDaddy using social engineering scam and received access to the client domains or the employees knowing how Hackers function and still falling prey to their vishing.

Conclusion

No matter how big or small a firm could be, one can still fall victim to any fraudulent calls. No matter it’s a cryptocurrency sites or any other well encrypted sites, nothing as such can be 100% safe and secured.

Let’s learn through this incident, and do not trust any random call or person and provide them access to our personal data. It is we, who have to be careful coz the loss incurred will also be of ours and lets without fail have a two factor authentication to protect our data.

AI aka Terminator?

The first image that comes to our mind when we think of artificial intelligence is that of the Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Terminator. Isn’t that what we have seen in the movies and read in the magazines how the future will look like if we keep building upon the AI platform? Read on if you thought so too.

So What is Artificial Intelligence?

Anything which has the capacity or intelligence to follow certain set of tasks and make decision can be termed as Artificial Intelligence or AI. To name a few AI based gadgets, Siri, Alexa, self driven cars etc make a few modern day appliances which function on the platform of Artificial Intelligence.

Types of AI

Depending upon the ability of the AI to perform more complex tasks, AI can be divided into two categories – Narrow AI or weak AI and Strong AI or General AI. Till now, the kind of AI that we have been using are narrow AI. Developers and scientists are working together to develop strong AI, however, that might take a few decades or so to actually materialize.

Do we need AI?

That is one question that most people around the world are asking. The truth is, using AI definitely helps reduce the time taken to do a certain task. In fact, the precision that we get through using AI is not humanly possible. Several precision surgeries, missile attacks, threat monitoring etc are the tasks which are possible today only because we have AI running.

AI spells Doom for Humanity?

Despite the benefits that we have achieved from the use of AI, several imminent scientists and thinkers have been continuously warning us about the safety with regards to using AI. For instance, Stephen Hawking is quoted as saying “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”

What is the concern?

If you think that AI will spring up as robotics with a machine gun in their hand trying to shoot all humans they see, then let me assure you that it is a far-fetched thought. Nevertheless, AI, when programmed to continuously develop itself and re-design itself keeping certain goals in mind, then a time may come when the AI development out-paces the understanding of human mind. If it comes to it, then earth will have a consciousness, which out-smarts the consciousness of humans.

Risks of Super AI

The only thing that makes humans rule the world is our smartness. Although there are creatures that far outweigh the humans when it comes to their physical strength, the only reason we stay supreme on earth is our brain capacity. If we end up developing a super intelligent being or computer, it will threaten our supremacy on earth. This might mean that we will have to move about in accordance to the rules set by the super AI rather than the other way round. It is hence of surmount importance that we analyze the benefits and risks of Artificial Intelligence.

If AI goals differ from ours

Scientists are of the view that unless we align our goals minutely with the goals of the super AI, there might be risk associated with super intelligence. For instance, if we program our self-driven cars with the objective of reaching X place fastest, the car might not take into account the speed that humans can tolerate or the obstacles that come in the way. Thus, programming very carefully and aligning the human goals with AI intricately is of utmost importance.

Automated Weapons posing a threat to humankind

When it comes to the automated weapons which are controlled through AI, the threat it would impose on everyone is undeniable if the goals pushing AI are different than ours. Another perspective of such weapons would be that there would be only a few people controlling the world if such a thing came to pass. These few people would be those who control the super AI; thus the fate of the world would be at the hands of selected few. Of course, there is also a point where the super AI exceeds the controls of all humans and hence, controls the fate of humanity on its own.

Benefits of AI

It is undeniable that if such a super computer or super intelligence can be developed, there is a possibility that Earth might be rid of all illness, poverty and war. In fact, the whole environment might be able to heal itself and humans may move towards a whole new era that can only be dreamt of or seen in sci-fi movies.

Improved Healthcare

As we have already mentioned earlier, the precision that can be achieved using AI is unmatched. Therefore, healthcare is the field that benefits most from the use of AI.

Space exploration

Since the calculations and formulas utilized by super AI cannot be wrong, even as the super AI has the power to take into account all variables, the science of space exploration will take a turn for good when super AI is used to analyze, prepare and execute a mission.

To conclude

Till date, no one person has come to the conclusion about whether AI would be good or bad for the humanity. Nevertheless, one can hope that with all the advancements taking place in this field, the only factors that play on ground are the ones which benefit the humans.

The Apple force is ready to launch its new model of iphone, which is being touted as one of the most revolutionary phones to be put up front for the consumers. Apple iPhone 12 Launch 2020 is slotted for October or November and markets are already abuzz with the upgrade that iphone will be getting.

What is New in the iphone 12?

Assuming that you are already acquainted with the basic features, here we will focus on the revolutionary features that have been put in the new iphone 12. While Apple has been hinting about these ideas since long, the actual implementation for the masses has only come now. We can’t wait for the new Apple iphone 12 launch.

Mind-blowingly fast

Iphone 11 was fast, but iphone 12 is going to be like a whirlwind. The new chipset that Apple iphone 12 is getting will allow the iphone CPU and GPU to process with speeds faster by 40 and 50 percent respectively. The new chip – A14 – is already all set to make iphone 12 the fastest smartphone in the entire market!

How A14 boosts performance?

The new chip A14 is packed with more transistors, as compared to the previous iphone model. This difference was achieved by reduction in the size of the transistors, a miracle in itself. With more transistors, the iphone has a boosted performance. The A13 chip provided 600 billion operations per second; however, the new A14 allows for 5 trillion operations per second! 5G modems and high refresh rates are a few other add-ons that the new A14 chip brings to the users.

Low power consumption

Amongst the many features of iphone 12, the long battery life is what makes to the top of the list! The power consumption is reduced by 30%, giving the iphone 12 a long battery life.

Better and Faster Graphics

More transistors and faster phone also means better graphics. The A14 bionic chip also integrates a four-core graphics system, meaning that it will provide faster graphics performance and an overall multithreaded performance. It is expected that the Graphics Performance will see a jump by 50 percent in its speed of performing tasks. This will make not just gaming experience better, but also other computational functions such as machine learning, image processing etc.

A few other features enabling better graphics performance are OLED super retina display, 10 bit color, triple camera, LIDAR. The display will have the capability of shifting from 120 Hz to 60 Hz depending upon the usage in order to save battery life.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in iphone 12

The scientists and developers at Apple have been trying hard since a long time to integrate a smart camera in the iphone, using machine learning algorithms called as neural networks. With 5nm A14 chips, more chips can be packed, with more transistors, giving the developers a free hand in packing more features into the iphone 12, integrating Artificial Intelligence with the camera and other functions.

Third party Neural Engine integration

The neural engine of iphone 12 will also be designed to integrate third party apps and software, inspiring better functions for the users. This will be a revolutionary step in the history of iphone, where third parties were never permitted to be integrated with the iphone software.

Enhanced Augmented Reality

One of the other features that requires special mention here is that of heightened Augmented reality capabilities which are featured in the new iphone 12 slotted to be launched soon. While the recent previous iphone models like iphone 11 and iphone 11 pro did have augmented reality enabled apps like Minecraft world etc, the new iphone 12 will also have a more sophisticated 3D camera. This camera will have an inbuilt laser scanner that would help create a 3D image or replicas of the real world, giving the users a heightened augmented reality experience.

VCSEL

Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser or VCSEL is a laser emitting sensor that helps determine the distance of the subject. This gives the users an image, which has depth information in the pixels, thereby producing a low resolution, colourless image. This technology helps in enhancing the overall augmented reality functions of the iphone 12. This also allows one to bring out 3D pictures through the camera.

IOT

IOT or Internet of Things means sharing of the global infrastructure of information. With better neural system, the iphone 12 is slotted to have more artificial intelligence features and IOT is one of these. This feature allows the iphone to be interconnected with real and virtual things, giving a better and more informative experience to the user.

Awesome Camera Features

Camera is most notably the best feature in iphone 12. With LIDAR assisted auto focus, subject detection, enhanced video recording modes, enhanced night mode where exposure is increased to give better lighting, noise reduction, 3X zoom and last but not the least, the bit depth video feature –all make the iphone 12 one of the best smartphone launch of the year. With Bit depth video mode, users can make 3D videos giving an experience of augmented reality.

Finally

It would not be wrong to conclude that the new apple iphone 12 launch is one of the most awaited launches of the year.

Are you really evoked to accumulate a better detailing about this subject? Do you want to grab a complete briefing about this caption? Come on, go through the information discussed in detail. 

It has been stated that, 5G is the primary key to the future Space Force and moreover its responsibility will be quite intriguing to the Air Force, said the vice commander Lt. Gen. David Thompson. For connecting the 5G devices, each of the space communications will play a primary role for making it productive. The global rush for evolving 5G networks is about to play a decisive role in Space Mission, said the Air Force Leader. 

The development of uncluttered 5G networks is set to play a major role of building the military’s affiliated service meant to space. It’s time to take actions in 5G, said the acquisition head during the Symposium in Orlando at Florida. 

The world is more and likely towards the internet development and that is why the support of wider bandwidth is expected. For an enhanced and thriving connectivity of the 5G devices, it’s mandatory to add the space based communications effectively well. Any mess up in the data exchange from one machine to another, will be a real disgrace to the efforts toiled – said Roper. 

As per the news from confidential resources, the Trump administration has been trying its hands perfect to seclude Huawei. Huawei, being known as the leading telecommunications gadget’s manufacturer is to become isolated from manufacturing a foothold in United States partner concerns. Trump administration has taken necessary action plans to keep the associates with five eyes intelligence including U.S., Australia, U.K., New Zealand and Canada. 

During January, Trump government has imparted and conveyed regret and dissatisfaction while the United Kingdom has given permission countenance to Huawei allowing limited and confined access to a few British 5G networks. This action has created a worst and aggressive influence on the U.S. for continuing the work alliances with Huawei. 

Our affiliation, alliance and partnership is all about cooperation and compliance, our adversaries are in enforcement, said the Vice commander while questioning about how DoD will contend against China. He stated that 5G is core influential for the Space Force in the future that is just like the Air Force. 

There is already a warning alarm to the military officials by the US air force commander regarding China and its upcoming technology. Of course for getting a clear picture, it’s better to be watchful and remain sharp to examine what Chinese will try to practice and accomplish with 5G. Since it is a global event, it is important to pay close attention on this subject. Maybe the lack of attention can result with terrific outbreaks and you will be left in a square corner, said Jeffrey Harrigian – USAF Gen while inquiring on the tech rush amidst US and China. 

Being in a complex and challenging situation, and as described in an open statement, It is good to grab knowledge and collective information on 5G. It requires some knowledge and education, since its venture – said the USAF Gen Jeffrey.

During the Munich Security Conference that took place last month, Nancy Pelosi – House Speaker gave a warning to nations in contradiction of dealing business with Huawei. If you are really looking ahead to build a strong and tangible respect against human rights, better stay away from dealing with Huawei and rather establish great things that stays with a freedom of information – stated Pelosi to the gathering in the conference meeting. There is a great panic with the intervention of 5G, it is expected that China could undermine or weaken the space missions and military operations in the forth-coming time period. 

Internet rules the world and autonomy is described with better and faster bandwidth, which has made 5G to play the key role in the near future. With no doubt, 5G is about to play a predominant role in the Space Force and of course it is about to set a new mission to the organization. 

As the technology promises an unbelievable delivery speed of network connectivity, it facilitates the space force to take in charge of unseen internet speed worldwide. Like the early generations, the trending 5G will remain as a benchmark and of course remains progressive to billions of lives. The US Space Force procures data streams by means of surveillance. What do you all think about this 5G association with the space force? It’s definitely going to evolve and make a great impression amidst the public and as well with the Space Force.
