The ransomware attack has been present for a while, and security experts have fought it substantially. They have provided methods to decrease the prevalence of this attack on individuals and enterprises. However, the techniques of malicious actors are also evolving at the same pace to continue causing damage.In 2019, the world experienced a new method of a ransomware attack- Double extortion. The attack, which was by a malicious group- The Maze, targeted Allied Universal, a security company. 10% of stolen data from the…

IBM’s technique relies on comprehending the reason for noise rather than eliminating it completely IBM has good news for quantum computing enthusiasts. It has developed error mitigation strategies to make fault-tolerant quantum computers. While this news may not be of any significance or even comprehensible to the common man, IT experts and business leaders know what it means to the industry. The IBM team in its blog writes, “Recent advances in techniques we refer to broadly as quantum error mitigation allow us to…

IBM today announced a new strategy for the implementation of several “error mitigation” techniques designed to bring about the era of fault-tolerant quantum computers. Up front: Anyone still clinging to the notion that quantum circuits are too noisy for useful computing is about to be disillusioned. A decade ago, the idea of a working quantum computing system seemed far-fetched to most of us. Today, researchers around the world connect to IBM’s cloud-based quantum systems with such frequency…

China has launched a military satellite that will test its “space debris mitigation technology," the state media reported earlier this week. The satellite was launched on Sunday from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre, Sichuan province, Southwest China. Though only a few details were available about the classified launch, some state media reports said the mission was successful. A video of the launch showed a gigantic rocket blasting off the launch site into a cloud of orange hues against a background of mountains or…

Several of the 5,500 marine RNA virus species recently identified by scientists may help push carbon absorbed from the atmosphere to permanent storage on the ocean floor, according to a study. The findings also suggest that a small percentage of the newly discovered species had borrowed genes from the animals they infected, which could aid researchers in determining their supposed hosts and functions in marine processes. The research is leading to a greater understanding of the outsized impact these tiny particles play in…
