Russian Scientists Break Google’s Quantum Algorithm

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, information science, quantum physics

Clause density is something new to me but seems interesting as I know shores algorithm is the only thing that can hack systems.


Google is racing to develop quantum-enhanced processors that utilize quantum mechanical effects to one day dramatically increase the speed at which data can be processed.

In the near term, Google has devised new quantum-enhanced algorithms that operate in the presence of realistic noise. The so-called quantum approximate optimization algorithm, or QAOA for short, is the cornerstone of a modern drive towards noise-tolerant quantum-enhanced algorithm development.

Cyberattack hits U.S. health agency during coronavirus outbreak

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, cybercrime/malcode, health

The U.S. Health and Human Services Department suffered a cyberattack on its computer system Sunday night during the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The attack appears to have been intended to slow the agency’s systems down, but didn’t do so in any meaningful way, said the people, who asked for anonymity to discuss an incident that was not public.

The National Security Council tweeted just before midnight: “Text message rumors of a national #quarantine are FAKE. There is no national lockdown. @CDCgov has and will continue to post the latest guidance on #COVID19.”

Customers’ trust and their data, which is more important to your company?

Posted by in categories: business, cybercrime/malcode

Customers’ trust and their data, which is more important to a company? “As the American organizational consultant, Warren Bennis, stated: “Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work”, growing customers’ faith has once been the most important thing for the survival of a business. But as time goes by, it seems that a new kind of business strategy that violates the trust-first dogma has been formed, and it should be known as the “data-first” strategy since the top priority of it is to gather customers’ data…” https://bit.ly/2ZUMykT #data #privacy #trend #technology #datascience #business #businessstrategy #dataeconomy #businesstip #privacyaware #onlineprivacy #cybersecurity #cybersecuritythreats


Like it or not, customers’ data has become the new gold for today business, and consequently it’s time for all of us, both consumers and enterprises, to rethink about where’s the thin line between normal data use and data abuse. In the rest of this article, we’ll point out a few directions where people can be looking at this problem, and hopefully it can help you to obtain your own answer.

Brain-Computer Interface Technology: Helping Or Hacking?

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, neuroscience, virtual reality

Brain Computer Interface (BCI)


Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that agree to communicate between a human-brain with an external technology. The term can be referred to an interface that takes signals from the brain to an external piece of hardware that sends signals to the brain. There are different brain-computer interface technologies developed, through different methods and for diversified purposes, including in virtual reality technology.

Benefits of Brain Computer Interface

Physicists link quantum memories across the longest distance ever

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, internet, particle physics, quantum physics

A team of scientists in China has linked quantum memories over more than 30 miles (50 kilometers) of fiber optic cable, beating the previous record by more than 40 times over. This feat is an important step toward a hack-proof internet, scientists said.

The internet we use today was truly a revolutionary invention. It connected the world with information and allowed us to share millions of photos of cute and cuddly cats. But the internet is also filled with hackers trying to intercept important or sensitive information. To fight back, physicists have come up with a solution, with a little help from Schrödinger’s cat, the famous, hypothetical dead-and-alive feline meant to expose the weird nature of subatomic particles.
