Google’s Dark Web Report Bows Out: Users Left in the Shadows!
Google is shutting down its Dark Web Report, an email alert service for leaks of personal info on the dark web. While effective, it lacked actionable advice. Google now aims to focus on tools offering clear steps to protect user data. Meanwhile, users are left wondering what these new tools might be.
Hot Take:
Google’s “Dark Web Report” is getting the axe! Apparently, it didn’t quite provide the superhero-level solutions users were hoping for. Meanwhile, French hackers are getting caught faster than you can say “sacrebleu,” cloud vulnerabilities are popping up like unwanted ads, UK hospitals are oversharing more than your oversharing aunt on Facebook, and Texas is taking on smart TV makers for being a little too nosy. It’s just another day in the wild world of cybersecurity!
Key Points:
- Google is ending its “Dark Web Report” service due to lack of actionable advice for users.
- French authorities arrested a hacker who intruded on the Interior Ministry’s email server.
- Wiz’s cloud security competition uncovered numerous zero-day vulnerabilities.
