GM Noël Studer shares how you can train effectively, stay inspired, be consistent and more.

Army testing ‘pocket-sized’ drones that could soon be in the hands of every squad | Fox News

The tiny drones, which have already deployed with units such as the Army’s legendary 82nd Airborne Division, are small and lightweight enough that a single soldier can carry the drone, controller, and batteries needed to operate the system as part of their standard combat load. Once in the air, the device can transmit live video and HD still images of the surrounding area.

At present the ADF operates around 760 unmanned aerial systems mainly for surveillance missions, with some models capable of being armed. But the Defence department is also trialling low-cost, expendable systems which can be produced in vast numbers.

7 Accounts You Must Always Protect With Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security and keeps your account protected even if your password is compromised. While it’s advisable to enable two-factor authentication on all accounts that support it, here are some accounts that should always have this extra layer of protection.

Planning in Chess and Cybersecurity | Premier Chess

Chess and cybersecurity have many similarities. Whether you are a business owner, employee, a mother, a father, or an individual at home, your goal is to protect your most valuable asset. In chess, you call that asset, the king. In cybersecurity, it is your business, home, family, identity, etc.

The US Wants to Integrate the Commercial Space Industry With Its Military to Prevent Cyber Attacks | WIRED

As space becomes more important to the world’s critical infrastructure, the risk increases that hostile nation-states will deploy cyberattacks on important satellites and other space infrastructure. Targets would include not just spy satellites or military communications satellites, but commercial spacecraft too.

But the more mainstream the technology has become, the more attractive it has become for threat actors. The same accessibility that makes the QR code a useful tool also makes it an effective vector for phishing and malware delivery.

‘Artificial atoms’ help achieve secure real-world quantum communication

This approach leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to generate random keys that are impossible to crack.

If you have blue screen problems, BlueScreenView can help you find the cause

Typically, to find the cause of a BSOD, you’d have to go through the Windows Event Viewer to see the recent errors on your PC. However, there’s an easier way thanks to an app called BlueScreenView. If you’re often troubleshooting blue screen issues, this is definitely an app worth getting.

To guard against cyberattacks in space, researchers ask “what if?” | Ars Technica

Because space is so remote and hard to access, if someone wanted to attack a space system, they would likely need to do it through a cyberattack. Space systems are particularly attractive targets because their hardware cannot be easily upgraded once launched, and this insecurity worsens over time. As complex systems, they can have long supply chains, and more links in the chain increase the chance of vulnerabilities. Major space projects are also challenged to keep up with best practices over the decade or more needed to build them.
