The NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has completed its test run of secure communication flows that could withstand attackers using quantum computing.

Konrad Wrona, principal scientist at the NCSC, told ZDNet that it is becoming increasingly important to create protection schemes against current and future threats.  

"Securing NATO's communications for the quantum era is paramount to our ability to operate effectively without fear of interception," Wrona said. 

"The trial started in March 2021. The trial was completed in early 2022. Quantum computing is becoming more and more affordable, scalable and practical. The threat of 'harvest now, decrypt later' is one all organizations, including NATO, are preparing to respond to.

Cybersecurity experts believe CVE-2021-44228, a remote code execution flaw in Log4j, will take months, if not years, to address due its ubiquity and ease of exploitation.

Steve Povolny, head of advanced threat research for McAfee Enterprise and FireEye, said Log4Shell "now firmly belongs in the same conversation as Shellshock, Heartbleed, and EternalBlue." 

"Attackers began by almost immediately leveraging the bug for illegal crypto mining, or using legitimate computing resources on the Internet to generate cryptocurrency for financial profit... Further exploitation appears to have pivoted towards theft of private information," Povolny told ZDNet.

"We fully expect to see an evolution of attacks."

Fume from soldering iron can be very harmful to our health. Most of the cheap solder contains lead. Lead is a dangerous metal, and it can cause severe damage to our health even cause cancer. Usually, solder has 60% lead and 40% tin. So it is very toxic to our bodies. Even lead-free soldiers are harmful to our bodies! Because they contain resin in their core. And resin is also toxic. Every type of solder is less or more harmful.

So people using soldering iron for a long time, are in big danger. I'm one of them. So, I search for the solution on the internet and find many kinds of solder Fume Extractor, but they all are boring. So I decided to make my own, Fume Extractor which is a little smart. It can detect the smoke coming from the soldering iron and then turn on the Fan to extract the fume.

Launched on IndieGogo a few months ago after 2+ years in development, Crowbits is a STEM education project that leverages both the Arduino and ESP32 boards, in addition to the BBC Micro:bit, to teach logical thinking and programming. Featuring Lego-blocks compatibility and a Scratch-like interface, the project has reached its IndieGogo backing goal and is ready to ship, says Crowbits' maker Elecrow.

Crowbits are little plug-and-play blocks that can snap together thanks to their magnetic Pogo pins, which makes it easy to connect crowbits with one another. Elecrow has already built 40+ different crowbits, including a DC motor, a buzzer, a LED, a gesture sensor, and many more. In addition to input and ouput modules, you also have programmable micro-controllers and IIC/UART modules.
