If you've been experiencing Tor network connectivity and performance issues lately, you're not the only one since many others have had problems with onion and i2p sites loading slower or not loading at all.

Tor Project's Executive Director Isabela Dias Fernandes revealed on Tuesday that a wave of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks has been targeting the network since at least July 2022.

"At some points, the attacks impacted the network severely enough that users could not load pages or access onion services," Fernandes said on Tuesday.

If you're like most people, you use the incognito browsing mode when you want to keep your browsing history private. But did you know that incognito mode isn't actually private?

When using incognito mode in your web browser, you may think that your activities are completely anonymous and untraceable. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and other third-party entities may still be able to track your online activity, even when you are browsing in incognito mode. Not only that: if you share your device with others, even they can find out what you visited in incognito mode.

The AI-based chatbot is allowing bad actors with absolutely no coding experience to develop malware.

Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in late November, many security experts have predicted it would only be a matter of time before cybercriminals began using the AI chatbot for writing malware and enabling other nefarious activities. Just weeks later, it looks like that time is already here.

In fact, researchers at Check Point Research (CPR) have reported spotting at least three instances where black hat hackers demonstrated, in underground forums, how they had leveraged ChatGPT's AI-smarts for malicious purposes.

As 2022 ended, OpenAI made ChatGPT live to the world. It is an artificially intelligent research and deployment chatbot that interacts through text using realistic human responses. Its deep learning techniques can generate conversations that convince anyone they are interacting with an actual human. 

Like opening the jar and releasing the genie, its impact is relatively unknown, but grave intrigue and curiosity surrounded it. How will it be used; how does it work; is it for good or evil? No, this is not the next Terminator sequel…

Its intentions are certainly for positive use, and its articulate responses have led many to claim it as the best chatbot to be released. However, in a short period, ChatGPT has already been linked to cyber threats as cyber-criminals leverage its advanced capabilities for nefarious means.

The Feds have disrupted the prolific Hive ransomware gang, saving victims from a collective $130 million in ransom demands. But it remains to be seen how much of a blow the effort will be to the overall ransomware landscape.

The group's operations have been buzzing with activity for months, racking up more than 1,500 victims in 80-plus countries around the world since it appeared in June 2021, according to an announcement from the US Justice Department. The gang has been operating with a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) model, engaging in data theft and double extortion, and delivering its venom indiscriminately to school districts, financial firms, critical infrastructure, and others. At least one affiliate has become a bit of a hospital specialist, disrupting patient care in some attacks.
