Elon Musk Attacks WhatsApp Over Lack of Privacy

Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), has renewed his criticism of WhatsApp over its handling of personal data.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO questioned the platform's security practices in response to a user query on Saturday.

A user on X had asked, "If WhatsApp messages are end-to-end encrypted, why do we see ads related to the things we discussed in our chats?"

Musk briefly replied by saying: "WhatsApp is not secure at all."

This recent comment is part of a broader dispute between Musk and WhatsApp, which is owned by Mark Zuckerberg's conglomerate Meta.

A Hacker Posted Nearly 10 Billion Passwords Online — Likely the Biggest Leak Ever

The report claimed that not all the passwords in the file appeared to be new which means that they have been leaked previously and this increases the chance of “credential stuffing.”

As per the practice, a bad actor can take a user’s known password and try to reuse it to break into other accounts in their name, Cybernews, a cybersecurity-focused news outlet, explained.

⚡️Microsoft Users Around the World Report Widespread Outages

Banks, airlines, TV stations and health systems in countries around the world that rely on Microsoft's 365 apps reported widespread outages Friday.

Microsoft IT outage disrupts flights, banks, media outlets, and companies worldwide.

Thousands of flights and train services were cancelled in the U.S. and Europe, and there were disruptions to many other public and retail services.

In a statement to CBS News later on Friday, CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz said that the issue had been identified and a solution was being implemented.

"CrowdStrike is actively working with customers impacted by a defect found in a single content update for Windows hosts. Mac and Linux hosts are not impacted," Kurtz said.

"This is not a security incident or cyberattack. The issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed."

Wiz Walks Away From $23 Billion Deal with Google, Will Pursue IPO

Wiz has walked away from a $23 billion deal to be bought by Google, in what would have been the search giant’s largest-ever acquisition, telling employees it would pursue an IPO as previously planned.

Rappaport wrote that the company would focus on its next milestones: an initial public offering and $1 billion in annual recurring revenue.

The deal would have nearly doubled the $12 billion valuation of the startup from its most recent round of funding.

Wiz was founded in 2020 and has grown rapidly under Assaf Rappaport, who had been targeting an IPO as recently as May.
