Universal Analytics is still processing data one month after Google advised it would sunset. The search engine had warned that everyone would be forced to migrate over to Google Analytics 4 by 30 June 2023 or else they would lose the ability to track the performance of their websites and campaigns. However, a month later, it looks like many marketers can still use their UA accounts as usual. Why we care. The majority of marketers did not embrace the enforced migration to GA4 and many have found the new system difficult to use with complaints raised around its user interface, a lag in data…

Besides Google Search, YouTube, and other online advertising revenue rebounding, Google Cloud was in the spotlight — and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai mentioned a big reason for investors to cheer on this department.

digital infrastructure and cybersecurity are facing significant challenges, leading to concerns about its safety and vulnerability. As the country approaches a crucial parliamentary election, there has been a worrisome increase in data leaks and cyberattacks. A recent incident involved a suspected leak of personal data belonging to 50 million citizens from the Office of the Registrar General, Birth and Death Registration (BDRIS). This breach exposed sensitive information such as National ID numbers, names, addresses, dates of birth and parents’ details, making it easy for malicious actors to create counterfeit NIDs. This poses a serious risk of influencing the electoral system,…
The shift to the cloud and the consequent boom in the sector was held together by its grand promise that any company could digitally transform itself and keep its data secure on the cloud. But the cost of such transformation is rising, now boosted by a spate of generative AI tools added to the mix. Big Tech companies with fat cloud bills are facing something of a catch-22 situation as they are unable to opt out for the fear of being left behind. So, they are looking at more ways to cut corners.

THE CITY OF New York has agreed to pay more than $13 million total to 1,380 people as part of a settlement of a class action related to the New York Police Department’s treatment of demonstrators during protests in 2020 sparked by the murder of George Floyd.

This quickly produced clear evidence of widespread patterns in police behavior, allowing lawyers to showcase a broad survey rather than…

Cyberspace, the term first coined by the American-Canadian writer William Gibson in 1984, primarily includes computer systems and related software that ensure connectivity of telecommunication systems and their constituent data. In today’s world of fast-changing technology, individuals are dependent on gadgets, technology and the resultant networks, not only in their personal lives, but also in professional spheres. This creates dangers of intrusion in data systems. Concerns related to privacy are, therefore, not unfounded. Cybercriminals, whose intention is to make fast money by playing on the fears of individuals and organisations, resort to extortion at times. Their activities can endanger the…
A sophisticated cloud-credential stealing and cryptomining campaign targeting Amazon Web Services (AWS) environments for the past several months has now expanded to Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) as well. And, the tools used in the campaign share considerable overlap with those associated with TeamTNT, a notorious, financially motivated threat actor, researchers have determined. The broader targeting appears to have begun in June, according to researchers at SentinelOne and Permiso, and is consistent with a continuous series of incremental refinements that the threat actor behind the campaign has been making to it since the series of attacks began in December. In separate reports highlighting their key takeaways,…
