If you’re like us, you’ve probably reached the point where you can not easily answer phone calls from unknown numbers. Unfortunately, we are all trained to be this way because of the incredible number of phone callers. The awful phone call as a text from and unknown sender typically makes us feel for shady activity, and it does not seem that this problem has gotten better over the years. Unknown phone calls can often be from scammers The reason why this problem still exists is because it is just so difficult to address. In fact, these kinds of problems have only gotten worse. With increasing online purchases in the wake of the pandemic, phone scammers have started sending messages from seemingly legitimate phone numbers with fake messages about deliveries in the hope of duping unsuspecting customers. Cyber-security expert Matthew Gribben says these scammers have become good at making these texts look real, imitating delivery services and even banks, due to vulnerabilitie...

According to BBC, Mastercard has announced that by 2033, no company-issued credit or debit cards will have a magnetic stripe, and many banks in Europe will start issuing stripless cards from 2024. Mastercard will move away from magnetic strips Beginning in 2006, the UK began to use chip and PIN for card payments, but many places in the US continue to use magnetic stripe systems. Mastercard said biometric cards using fingerprints and chip and PIN cards provide better security. The company said it would become the first payment network to phase out magnetic stripe technology. A spokesperson shared with the BBC that “the level of worldwide acceptance of the chip and pin was such that the time had come to start phasing out magnetic tape. The slow elimination is to leave what the company calls a “long trail” for companies that accept payments to chip and pin. “ Contactless payments continue to increase Magnetic tape technology began in the 1960s, when IBM looked for a w...

WhatsApp is launching a new feature that will allow users to share photos and videos that will disappear after being viewed. Once the recipient has received the message, the “view once” feature will delete it and not save it to the recipient’s phone. WhatsApp says the feature was created to give “users even more control over their privacy.” These WhatsApp messages will disappear While this feature isn’t new (think Snapchat), there are still concerns that it will introduce problems and help the evidence of child abuse go away. The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) already faces an ongoing dilemma with Facebook, the parent company of WhatsApp, over encrypted messaging issues. Encrypted messages create situations where police and investigators cannot see messages “in transit”, and only the sender and recipient can see. Automatic deletion of messages also means phones seized by authorities would no longer contain any e...

Samantha Jenkins, the leading biotech engineer from bio-manufacturing company Biohm, was studying different types of molds for a project for the company when she accidentally found something fascinating. A certain type of fungus tried to escape. Samanthan Jenkins discovered a plastic eating fungus Jenkins shared, “Imagine a pot full of grain with a kind of pill coming out of the top. It didn’t look particularly exciting or captivating. But as soon as it opened, it was very, very cool.” The mold had eaten its way through the plastic that was meant to hold it in, easily degrading like any other food. The aim of the project was to control different strains of molds for possible use in bio-based insulation panels, but the mold had other plans. Biohm has now shifted to develop this strain to make it even more efficient when eating plastic to help reduce plastic waste. According to Greenpeace, the world had made about 6.3 billion tons of virgin plastic, of which only 9% wa...
