Tracking people is now like rocket science. In the old days, just recording the IP address (which you can protect with a VPN) was good enough. Now the head butting between privacy believers and Big Tech continues and I will describe the many other threats that can identify you even when you hide your IP address. These are all threats in the Application Layer (OSI Layer 7) so this cannot be protected in the usual ways. There are solutions! But it requires discipline and understanding of what can be done by the opposition. Rob Braxman reports.
A VPN is useless against these kinds of Internet ID threats
Separating fact from fiction: how VPNs really work
As a VPN Service Provider, I can tell you the truth about VPNs. They are not the end-all. They do not protect everything, and they can be vulnerable if you don't understand the limitations. This is a particularly important discussion for people in Brazil who are now threatened with a $9000 daily fine for using a VPN. Can you get caught if you use it? What can the government see? What does it really protect? Are there substitutes like iCloud Private Relay or other alternatives? VPNs are banned in other countries like China and Saudi Arabia. Can you use them anyway?

SQL Injections are scary (hacking tutorial for beginners)
In this video, we’re learning one of the oldest yet most dangerous Hacking Techniques out there - SQL Injection. Despite SQL Injections being over 20 years old, they still rank number 3 on the OWASP Top 10 List… why? Even fortune 500 companies are still vulnerable to these attacks. In this video, NetworkChuck will show you how to run an SQL Injection attack. Running a basic SQL Injection attack is pretty easy but will often become more complex with trickier targets.
Commentary: Fake images are everywhere now, here’s how to spot them
by Andria Pressel
August 15, 2024 - As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to develop, it’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between real photographs and AI-generated images.
AI can create everything from stunning landscapes to lifelike portraits in a matter of moments - and at first glance, they may appear perfectly legitimate.
In this age of misinformation, how can you discern if the images you’re seeing are real or fabricated?
Huge underground reservoir holds three times as much water as Earth’s oceans
LONDON, England (PNN) - June 13, 2024 - Earth is a jewel of the solar system, painted blue by the vast oceans that hold the majority of our planet’s water - or so we thought. Most of Earth’s water, according to a new study, may actually be locked in a reservoir 400 miles underground.

Time may be an illusion created by quantum entanglement
ROME, Italy (PNN) - May 31, 2024 - The true nature of time has eluded physicists for
centuries, but a new theoretical model suggests it may only exist due to entanglement between quantum objects.
From where does time originate?
Time may not be a fundamental element of our physical reality. New calculations add credence to the idea that it emerges from quantum entanglement, in which two objects are so inextricably linked that disturbing one disrupts the other, no matter how distant they are.
Is artificial intelligence technology a threat to the human race?
Artificial intelligence technologies are improving at exponential rates. AI girlfriends are expected to generate an 8–9-billion-dollar industry very soon. Audio and video imagery are reaching a level of precision that perhaps threatens human lives. Will human labor come under attack from AI technologies? What about human interaction? Will it go the way of the dodo? What does AI technology bode for the human race?
