When a major cyber incident hits, the first decisions aren’t technical—they’re human. Who takes the lead? How quickly can information be shared? When should governments step in, and how do you protect public trust while keeping essential services running?  These questions are at the heart of Microsoft’s Advancing Regional Cybersecurity (ARC) initiative, launched in 2025 to help governments strengthen cyber preparedness through practical, public-private collaboration. Today, we’re sharing the first tangible output of that work: the ARC Kenya Exercise Report & Toolkit, developed through a tabletop exercise held in Nairobi in December 2025.   Developed with Kenya’s National Computer and Cybercrime Coordination Committee (NC4) and RiskSight, the toolkit is a practical planning resource designed…

Something that we have written a lot about at Smart Data Collective is how modern companies depend on structured databases like MySQL to store and analyze growing volumes of information. It is clear that when these systems fail due to unexpected shutdowns, the ripple effects can disrupt operations, delay decisions, and even lead to permanent data loss.Why MySQL Downtime Can Put Data-Driven Businesses at RiskMethods to Repair Crashed MySQL Tables after System ShutdownA report by Naveen Kumar of DemandSage reports that around 97% of businesses use big data, showing just how widespread database reliance has become. Something that stands out…

AI red teaming is easier to understand when you run it yourself AI security can sound abstract until you point a scanner at a real endpoint and watch what happens. A model may answer normal user prompts perfectly well, but still behave differently when a conversation becomes adversarial. A support assistant may follow its public instructions, but still have hidden rules that should never be exposed. An agentic workflow may look safe in a demo, but become harder to predict once tools, frameworks, and permissions are involved. That is why red teaming belongs earlier in the AI development process. Builders…

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will ban data broker Kochava and its subsidiary Collective Data Solutions (CDS) from selling location data without consumers’ explicit consent to settle charges brought nearly four years ago. The FTC sued Idaho-based Kochava in August 2022, alleging it collected and sold precise geolocation data from hundreds of millions of mobile devices. This information allowed Kochava’s clients to track the mobile users’ movements to and from sensitive locations, including mental health and addiction recovery facilities, reproductive health clinics, places of worship, and shelters for the homeless and domestic violence survivors. According to the complaint, the company…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. A CleanTechnica reader wrote a comment on one of my articles about a small EV charger installation asking why bother writing about such a small development. Well, the answer is because every new public EV charger that is installed matters, and every installation is a success story. Every EV charger installed means, at some point, gas stations begin to shutter as fully electric vehicles replace gas and diesel vehicles.  At the same time, there are large and medium-sized EV charger installations happening. This one in Philadelphia happens to be a…

Here is what I am trying to do: The screenshot is taken from a iPhone 15 Pro: I’m trying to build a pricing UI in Flutter, but the layout is not matching the design—specifically the top-right badge (“Starter Plan”). class _PricingScreenState extends State { final PageController _controller = PageController(); int currentPage = 0; final List plans = [ PlanModel( title: “Basic Plan”, price: “\$13 USD”, subtitle: “per user/month”, tag: “Starter Plan”, buttonText: “Get Basic – \$13/month”, features: [ “”, “”, “”, “”, “”, “”, “”, “”, “”, ], isPremium: false, ), ]; @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return Scaffold( backgroundColor:…

Education tech giant Instructure has confirmed a data breach affecting students’ private information. The hacking and extortion gang ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the breach.  The hackers claim to have stolen students’ names, their personal email addresses, and messages sent between teachers and students — the same type of data Instructure admitted was stolen. Instructure is the latest corporate giant hacked by the ShinyHunters gang. The cybercriminals have targeted universities and cloud database companies in recent months, in efforts to steal vast amounts of people’s personal information and threaten to post the data online if the companies do not pay the…
