    Timeshare exit scams: From fake buyers to recovery scams (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Timeshares don’t have the best reputation in the world. But many consumers still invest in them. Estimates suggest the global marketplace was worth nearly $20 billion in 2025, and could exceed $38 billion by 2034. Yet many holidaymakers eventually want out, whether because of rising maintenance fees, life changes, or concerns over long-term liabilities. If you want out, there are several legitimate exit paths. You could contact your developer to see if there are surrender or give-back schemes. O

    Is that new (vibe coded) app safe? 5 questions to ask first (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    AI platforms are transforming many industries. But perhaps none more so than software development. “Vibe coding” was only coined as a term in February 2025. Yet just a few months later, one report suggested 84% of developers were using or planning to use AI tools for work. On paper, it’s obvious why they are doing so. AI does the heavy lifting, allowing the developer to let their creativity flourish. But in so doing, vibe coding tools also lower the barriers to entry for novices unable to spot b

    Many of us still view cryptocurrency as a niche asset. Yet some estimates claim that nearly one in 10 people globally own some. That’s why you may have noticed Bitcoin or crypto ATMs springing up in retail stores, transport hubs, and gas stations over recent years. Today there are tens of thousands in the US alone.

    ‘Nudify’ apps: What to do if someone makes a fake nude of you (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    For all AI’s wonders, there’s a darker underbelly to tech innovation. And it doesn’t get much darker than ‘nudification’ or ‘nudify’ apps. They use AI-powered deepfake technology to change an image of a clothed person to one that appears as if they’re naked, by simulating anatomical features. But let’s be clear, just because the image isn’t technically real, it doesn’t mean that the intent behind it can be brushed aside. Non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) is often weaponized by fraudsters, b

    Cyberthreats are moving faster than SMBs: Readiness must accelerate (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The cyberthreat landscape has been evolving for years. But there’s a sense today that things are escalating more rapidly than before. That’s largely the result of AI.
