Today's Story Highlights

Chinese Hackers Linked to Global Attacks on Telcos
Chinese hackers likely are responsible for a series of cyberattacks
against telecommunications companies around the world, security
researchers have reported. The campaign, dubbed "Operation Soft Cell,"
has been active since 2012, according to Cybereason. There is some
evidence suggesting even earlier activity against the telecommunications
providers, all of whom were outside North America.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86099.html

Proposed Law Would Force Big Tech to Reveal Value of Consumer Data
A Democrat and a Republican have filed a U.S. Senate bill to require
companies to report to financial regulators and to the public what
consumer data they collect and how they leverage it for profit. "When a
big tech company says its product is free, consumers are the ones being
sold," said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. "These 'free' products track
everything we do."
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86096.html

Next-Gen Raspberry Pi 4 Packs Power Plus Potential
The next big Raspberry Pi thing is now here, with lots more computing
power and more options. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced the
availability of Raspberry Pi 4, a comprehensive upgrade that touches
nearly every element of the computing platform. Users have a choice of
three memory capacities. The entry-level 1 GB RAM retains the signature
$35 price; 2 GB costs $45; 4 GB sells for $55.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86094.html

6 Things We Won't Be Able to Live Without in 2035
Things rarely happen as fast as we think or progress as slowly as we
hope. We all thought we'd have flying cars by the end of last century,
for instance, but we are due to be up to our armpits in them by the end
of next decade if the impressive number of trials continue to go well. I
touched on the drone drop issue a little last week, and I have been
thinking about it ever since.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86091.html

Uber Drones to Make Meal Drops This Summer
Uber Elevate, the aerial arm of rideshare service Uber, will test a fast
food delivery by drone service later this summer in San Diego. Delivery
destinations won't be houses or apartment buildings, however, but
instead will be "designated safe landing zones." Those landing zones
could include the roof of a parked Uber vehicle in one scenario. An Uber
courier would hand-deliver it to the consumer.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86092.html

Firefox Users Warned to Patch Critical Flaw
Firefox users should update their browsers immediately to fix a critical
zero-day vulnerability. Anyone using Firefox on a Windows, macOS or
Linux desktop is at risk. Mozilla issued a patch Tuesday, but the
vulnerability was discovered by Samuel Groß of Google Project Zero on
April 15. Mozilla's fix came after Coinbase reported exploitation of the
vulnerability for targeted spearphishing attacks.

http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86090.html

In Zuck We Trust: Facebook to Launch Own Cryptocurrency
Facebook's plans to mint its own digital coin will test the company's
consumer credibility. After being savaged for months for its cavalier
attitude toward users' privacy, the social network will be asking those
same users to trust its new cryptocurrency. The currency, called
"Libra," will be stashed in a digital wallet, the first product of new
Facebook financial services subsidiary Calibra.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86085.html

Instagram Targets Account Hijacking
Account hijacking has become a nettlesome problem at Instagram so it has
decided to do something about it. The social media company has begun
testing a simpler method for users to reclaim their compromised
accounts. It allows users locked out of their hacked accounts to ask for
a six-digit code to be sent to the email address or phone number
originally used to open the account.
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/86087.html

Improving Digital Literacy in the Workplace
It's anticipated that in the next five years 90 percent of the workforce
will require at least basic computer skills, such as using email or
company software. In the next 2-3 years, over 50 percent will need to be
able to use, configure and build digital systems. Those who lack digital
literacy may soon find themselves at a huge disadvantage.

Cisco's Take on Making the World a Better Place
I attended Cisco Live last week, and one of the things that impressed me
was how many amazing things the company has been doing that have nothing
to do with products, services or revenue. Most companies have a
philanthropic budget and donate, but they don't really seem to care if
the money makes a difference. For most, philanthropy is more about
uplifting their image than making a difference.

Winners, Losers and No Shows at E3 2019
E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, was in full swing in Los Angeles
this week. The annual trade show for the video game industry was not
without a few surprises, a few disappointments and as usual a few
companies that opted to forego the whole thing. Sony was among the
companies that chose to skip the event, while rival Microsoft was
present only via its annual press conference.
