Reusing passwords may feel like a harmless shortcut – until a single breach opens the door to multiple accounts 08 Jan 2026 • , 4 min. read Reusing the same password across multiple accounts may be convenient, but it sets you up for trouble that can cascade across your digital life. This (bad) habit creates the perfect opening for credential stuffing, a technique where bad actors take a list of previously exposed login credentials and systematically feed the username and password pairs into the login fields of selected online services. And if you recycle the same credentials across various accounts,…
Despite what you may have heard, the electric vehicle has not fallen out of favour. On the contrary, global EV sales are up 23 per cent year to date so far in 2025, and it’s not just China, where sales are up 22 per cent, or Europe, up 32 per cent — it’s also the less-talked-about rest of the world, which has collectively seen a 48 per cent increase in EV sales. Indeed, it is North America that is the EV outlier with its paltry 4 per cent sales increase in 2025. And believe it or not, despite everything Trump has…
Ultrahuman is a consumer health-tech startup that provides daily well-being insights to users based on biometric data from the company’s wearables, like the RING Air and the M1 Live Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). The Ultrahuman team leaned on Gemini in Android Studio’s contextually aware tools to streamline and accelerate their development process.Ultrahuman’s app is maintained by a lean team of just eight developers. They prioritize building features that their users love, and have a backlog of bugs and needed performance improvements that take a lot of time. The team needed to scale up their output of feature improvements, and also…
Last year, researchers led by UCLA achieved a milestone that physicists had pursued for half a century. They succeeded in making radioactive thorium nuclei absorb and release photons in a controlled way, similar to how electrons behave inside atoms. The idea was first proposed by the team in 2008, and its realization is expected to open the door to a new generation of extremely precise clocks. These advances could dramatically improve navigation systems and may even help scientists test whether some of nature’s fundamental constants change over time. Despite the breakthrough, a serious limitation remained. The specific isotope required for…
As a UX professional in today’s data-driven landscape, it’s increasingly likely that you’ve been asked to design a personalized digital experience, whether it’s a public website, user portal, or native application. Yet while there continues to be no shortage of marketing hype around personalization platforms, we still have very few standardized approaches for implementing personalized UX. Article Continues Below That’s where we come in. After completing dozens of personalization projects over the past few years, we gave ourselves a goal: could you create a holistic personalization framework specifically for UX practitioners? The Personalization Pyramid is a designer-centric model for standing…
We’re three years into a post-ChatGPT world, and AI remains the focal point of the tech industry. In 2025, several ongoing trends intensified: AI investment accelerated; enterprises integrated agents and workflow automation at a faster pace; and the toolscape for professionals seeking a career edge is now overwhelmingly expansive. But the jury’s still out on the ROI from the vast sums that have saturated the industry. We anticipate that 2026 will be a year of increased accountability. Expect enterprises to shift focus from experimentation to measurable business outcomes and sustainable AI costs. There are promising productivity and efficiency gains to be…
Erik Avakian, technical counselor at Info-Tech Research Group, explained why this is an issue. “There’s a critical flaw in the management server in how one of its background services handles certain types of network messages that allows an attacker on the network to run their own code without logging in. That service will accept a message from anyone on the network and then can blindly load a Windows DLL using a standard Windows function. The problem is that the software doesn’t properly validate where that DLL is coming from.” When this happens, he said, the affected software will run the…
Artificial intelligence has captured headlines recently for its rapidly growing energy demands, and particularly the surging electricity usage of data centers that enable the training and deployment of the latest generative AI models. But it’s not all bad news — some AI tools have the potential to reduce some forms of energy consumption and enable cleaner grids.One of the most promising applications is using AI to optimize the power grid, which would improve efficiency, increase resilience to extreme weather, and enable the integration of more renewable energy. To learn more, MIT News spoke with Priya Donti, the Silverman Family Career Development Professor in the…
Hackathons are different!. The good ones pull you in, stretch your thinking, and leave you with something real—regardless of the outcome. The problem is choice. It’s hard to find the right one!

In my last two blogs, I delved into the results of the 2025 Cisco Segmentation Report to highlight the importance of macro- and micro-segmentation and to identify the primary challenges hindering segmentation journeys. Today, I dive further into the survey results to discuss the benefits organizations can achieve when they successfully implement a dual macro- and micro-approach to segmentation. The goal, of course, is to continue highlighting insights into the current state of this critical cybersecurity concept and where it may be headed in the future. Three Benefits of a Successful Segmentation Strategy The good news is that the survey…
