We are going through one of the shortest days in history

by

If you feel that days fly, it is not just a perception of yours. Our planet is turning faster than normal. This July 22 is expected to complete its rotation 1.34 milliseconds before 24 hours, turning today the second shortest day of the year and one of the shortest since we have records. Earth accelerates. Until 2020, the shortest day registered had lasted 24 hours less 1.05 milliseconds. Since then, The shortest day of each year has overcome that threshold. In 2020 and 2021, the highest deviation was −1.47 ms; in 2022, of −1.59 ms; In 2023 he rose to −1.31 ms and in 2024 he came down again, marking the current record. The shortest day ever documented occurred on July 5 of last year. He lacked 1.66 ms to complete 24 hours. 2025 silver medal. The predictions for the summer of 2025 They pointed out three key dates in which Earth’s rotation could beat its speed record: on July 9, July 22 and August 5. Finally, the shortest day of 2025 was on July 10 with a deviation of -1.36 ms. According to the latest estimates, this July 22 will be the second most short day with a duration of 24 hours -1.34 ms. On August 5 it would be third with a -1.25 ms. The world upside down. The really fascinating thing about this phenomenon is that it goes against everything we know about the rotation of our planet. For billions of years, the land has been stopping for the friction of the tides generated by the moon. Our satellite steals rotational energy to the planet, causing the days increasingly long. In fact, it is believed that during much of the history of the earth, the days lasted about 19 hours. Why it happens. We don’t know. Some researchers They attribute it to the thaw of polar capsbut the redistribution of that mass of water to Ecuador could actually be moderating the acceleration, not driving it. Earth’s acceleration has no place in any of the oceanic and atmospheric models, so the scientific community suspects mainly from the depths of the planet. One possibility is that the liquid nucleus of the earth is slowing down its movement and, to preserve the angular momentum of the planet, this internal slowdown is being compensated With a slight acceleration of the mantle and the cortexwhich is what we experience on the surface. The second intercalar … negative. Earth’s acceleration has implications for time measurement. Since 1973, atomic watches mark the coordinated universal time (UTC). Occasionally, A “second interlar” has been added To resolve our watches with the terrestrial rotation, which Historically, he slowed down. Now, we face an unprecedented scenario: the need for a second negative intercala. If the acceleration trend continues, world timing could have to subtract a second of atomic watches Around 2029. It would be the first time in history that this type’s correction is made. Image | POT In Xataka | We know since time immemorial that the days last 24 hours. Except when the wind blows

We know exactly where and when the longest solar eclipse will occur in history: our great -great grandchildren will see it

by

On July 16, 2186, the Moon will align perfectly between Earth and the Sun, creating an unprecedented eclipse. Unless Millionaire eccentric determined to rejuvenate Be successful, none of us will be here to see it. But our descendants will want to spend that day somewhere in Colombia, Venezuela or Guyana. 7 minutes and 29 seconds. The longest total solar eclipse in history will exceed in almost two seconds the duration of the record until now: the eclipse of June 15 of the year 743 AC, which reached a totality of 7 minutes and 27 seconds on the Indian Ocean, near the current Kenya and Somalia. No eclipse will have lasted so much From before 4000 ACand none will do it until after 8000 AD, so we can be sure that it will be a really unique astronomical event. The total solar eclipse of longer duration in an interval of 12,000 years. The moon will obscure South America. The historical solar eclipse of 7 minutes and 29 seconds will not occur on the mainland: the strip of totality will reach its largest duration over the Atlantic Ocean. However, northern South America will also enjoy extraordinarily long totalities. Especially in Colombia (from Cali to Puerto Ayacucho), Venezuela (from the Orinoco to Imataca) and Guyana (throughout the northern half of the country, including Georgetown). The show will not be limited to that narrow strip. Virtually all South America, including the entire Brazilian territory, can observe a partial eclipse of great magnitude. The eclipse will also be partially visible from Mexico to Paraguay, and west of Africa. In Spain, the Canary Islands will barely touch at sunset. Why it will last so long. The reason for this extreme duration is a “perfect storm” in the positions of the three bodies. The Earth will be at its point farther from the sun (its aphelium), which will make the solar disk look slightly smaller. The Moon, meanwhile, will be at its closest point to Earth (its perigee), so its apparent album will be larger. And finally, the eclipse trajectory will pass very close to Ecuador Earth. This combination maximizes the time that the shadow of the moon takes to sweep the surface of the earth. How we are so sure. Eclipses’ prediction is one of the most successful feats of computational astronomy. The scientists feed their superorders with the current positions and speeds of the Earth and the Moon, and then use Newton’s Movement Laws to know what will happen within several centuries or even millennia. These algorithms are actually models that integrate gravitational equations to project their positions in the future. And they do it with amazing precision, usually with a margin of error of less than one minute over hundreds of years. Primo brother of a recent eclipse. The total solar eclipse of 2186 belongs to the same “lineage” as the great eclipse of North America of April 8, 2024, The Saros 139 cycle. A cycle of Saros is a period of approximately 18 years, 11 days and 8 hours, after which the Sol-Tierra-Luna geometry is repeated almost identically, producing a very similar eclipse but displaced about 120 degrees to the west. The discussions among the eclipses enthusiasts already fantasize about how the hunting of this event will be in 2186. There is talk of flotles of cruises positioned in the Atlantic and flights in hypersonic airplanes to pursue the shadow and further extend the experience of totality. Although we can only imagine it, it is a fascinating reminder of how science allows us to travel in time and be witnesses, at least on paper, of the wonders that the cosmos reserve for future generations.

Archaeologists believed to know the history of the Maya. Until they found the tomb of the first King of Caracol

by

Forty years are nothing. Not at least if we talk about the archaeological research of Snailan ancient and impressive Mayan city located in what is Belize today. Although the teachers Diane and Arlen Chasefrom the University of Houston (UH), they have been excavating the deposit for more than four decades had not yet found one of their Great treasures Occults: a grave of almost 1,700 years in which the remains of Te K’ab Chaak, the first ruling of Caracol and founder of a powerful dynasty that lasted for almost five centuries rest. The finding is key for what he reveals to Te K’ab Chaak, but also about his context. “They rewrite the Mayan history”, They claim From the UH. In a remote place by Belize … The Chiquibul Forest Reserve He hosts one of Belize’s most important (and impressive) Mayan deposits: the ancient city of Caracol. It is believed that at its peak came to occupy an area of almost 100 km2, with agricultural fields and careful urban planning, and welcomed 100,000 inhabitants. That without counting its geopolitical weight in the Mayan civilization and its participation in wars with neighboring towns, such as Tikal either UCANAL. One of the most fascinating constructions that has been preserved in Caracol is Caanaa majestic royal palace and ceremonies center raised around 600 or 700 AD (during the period Late classic of the Mayan civilization) and that reaches 43.5 meters high, which led its discoverers to give it the name with which we know it now: Caana, which means “place of the sky” in Maya. Ancient city, new surprises. Although the researchers have been studying the snail site for decades, they had not yet found one of their greatest treasures. At least until now. The couple of archaeologists formed by Diane and Arlen Chase, of the UH, has just discovered A surprising finding Under the canopy of an acropolis located to the right of the Palacio de Cana: a tomb of ago 1,700 years. A real grave, to be more precise. And not anyone. His dweller is You k´ab chaakwho amounted to the throne towards The 331 AD His figure is crucial in the history of Caracol for several reasons. He is considered the first ruler of the city and founded a real dynasty that would last 460 years. “We knew we had something”. A few days ago Arlen Chase He reported to The New York Times (Tnyt) The exact moment of the finding and how the archaeologists intuited that they had found something great just to take a look at the grave, the color of the cinnabar, its ceramics and the mask located on the side. “As soon as we saw the camera we knew we had something,” recalls Arlenwho still remembers what his first impression was: “My God, this is much more important than he believed.” Logical. A Te K´ab Chaak had buried him at the foot of a real family sanctuary with 11 vessels, carved bone tubes, jewelry made with jadeíta, a funeral mask made with accounts of the same material and shells of Spondylus (a genus of bivalve) of the Pacific. Among gods. “The vessels. The finding brings new clues about Te K´ab Chaak, who amounted to the throne in the year 331 of our era and whose grave is the first of three important burials dated Maya of the merchants, surrounded by offerings. Four of the vessel rulers of Caracol as part of their names “, Point out The University. Knowing Te K´ab Chaak. The finding provides information about Te K´ab Chaak, who amounted to the throne in 331 AD and whose grave is the first of three burials dated Towards 350 AD The sovereign was the first ruler of the Mayan city and set a real dynasty that would last for four and a half centuries, covering much of its history. The UH remember that the metropolis played a relevant role in Mayan history and dominated part of the southern Yucatan between 560 and 680 AD ended up abandoned around 900 DC Thanks to the remains located in the grave, the Chase have concluded that at the time of their funeral you k´ab chaak was a sovereign major, who had already lost his teeth and measured around 1.7 meters. “The early classical period is the time when the rulers claim that they supervise everything, completely away from the rest of the population. That changes at the end of the period, especially in Caracol, when after the success of the war against Tikal, they begin to share wealth with the general population. Not this person,” Comment. Does it reveal anything else? Yes. Light. And that is one of the reasons why the finding of the Chase has generated so much expectation. For a start, Remember The researchers, is the first grave of an identifiable ruler after more than 40 years of work in Caracol. It also provides valuable information to better understand its context, the connections of the Mayan world and its contact with Teotihuacánone of Mesoamerica’s greatest archaeological complexes and that in 300 AD had already become a city that marketed with all of Central America. “The Mayan monuments of carved stone, the dates, the iconography and the archaeological data suggest that the generalized Panmeso American connections occurred after an event in the 378 DC called ‘input’”, remember Diane Chase. In Caracol tombs archaeologists have found however artifacts that leads them to look at central Mexico and Teotihuacán. Problem? The burials located in Caracol date from 350 AD, “at least one generation before the recognized theotihuacan presence.” But … What does that mean? “Both central Mexico and the Mayan area knew the ritual practices of the other party, as reflected in the Caracol cremation,” Reflect Arlen Chase. The clues included in the Belize necropolis point out therefore that the first Mayan rulers maintained contacts “at the Mesoamerican level” before even the “entrance” of Teotihuacán that was recorded in their sizes. “The connections between the two regions were … Read more

A US Nuclear Submarine has just arrived in Iceland for the first time in history. That can only mean one thing: Giuk

by

When 2025 United States began, a word incessantly repeated: Greenland. There was no appearance of Trump where he did not slide that Washington was interested in getting the small nation, even for the bad. Behind, of course, There was much more that an occurrence, because the island is part of a Western strategic edge that he shares with the United Kingdom and Iceland. Interestingly, the first nuclear submarine in the US has just come to stay. First nuclear scale. Yes, by first time In history, a nuclear propulsion submarine in the United States has docked in Iceland. He USS Newport Newsa fast attack unit Los Angeles classarrived in Reykiavik in a movement that underlines the growing strategic importance of the Arctic in a context of Geopolitical tensions increasingly acute. The Icelandic government only began to allow the entry of nuclear submarines in its territorial waters in 2023and this inaugural visit is part of an increasingly narrow cooperation pattern with Washington and NATO. The American navy presented the event as A “decisive moment” which reaffirms its commitment to collective defense and maritime security of the Arctic, while American diplomats in Reykiavik stressed that the operation has been carried out in full Coordination with Icelandcountry that does not have its own naval forces and depends on the allied umbrella for protection. Giuk. It We count A few months ago. The geostrategic background of the event is closely linked to the call Giuk runner (Between Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom), a strip of key waters through which routinely submarines of the Russian north fleet, including the advanced yasen-m Cruise missile carriers. The location of Iceland makes the island a vital control point to follow these vessels before they are hidden in the vast Atlantic and represent a potential threat to the east coast of the United States. During the cold war, Iceland housed to the 57th Hunting Wing of the American Air Force at the Keflavik base, as well as maritime surveillance detachments With P-3 Orion aircraft. Currently, this surveillance persists with modern P-8a Poseidon and with NATO fighters that rotate to cover the Icelandic airspace. The Newport News stop adds to that renewed defense network, in a context where NATO has intensified protection of underwater infrastructure after alleged sabotage acts Russian In the Baltic which alerted about the vulnerability of vital cables and conduits. Sobs on board the submarine make guard while arriving in Reykjavík, Iceland And more. As We explainYes, let’s say Russia or China cross the corridor, its location would become extremely difficult, both because of the acoustic conditions of the underwater terrain and by oceanic vastness. Thus, from those hidden positions they could launch missile attacks against objectives in the east of the American continent. In fact and in response to this, the United States formed in 2021 the so -called Task Group Greyhounda specialized group of anti -submarine destroyers Designed to counteract This specific threat. The American navy itself warned at the time that the east coast of the country already It was not a safe shelterunderlining the urgency of establishing surveillance and defense points in key areas such as Greenland. The Russian answer. The truth is that Russia has proven to know very well the value of this corridor. In 2019, he organized its greatest naval exercise From the Cold War, sending at least ten submarines through the completely submerged Giuk gap, with the aim of Reach the Atlantic without being intercepted. According to Norwegian mediathe intention was clear: to prove the capacity of the West to detect movements of his fleet and demonstrate that he could project power to the US coast. These exercises also fulfill a fund growing territorial presence. A new stage. Beyond its symbolic value, the arrival of the Newport News represents an important operational step for the United States: to have a logistic support point for nuclear submarines in the Arctic without the need for move to Scotland or northern Norway. The ship, equipped with twelve vertical launch tubes for Tomahawk missiles and anti -submarine and anti -surface warfare systems, also provides surveillance and deterrence in a region where Russia has reinforced its naval presence and has increased its military activity near Finland. Icelandic Foreign Ministry itself recognized that these visits contribute to continuous and efficient underwater surveillance that also protects critical infrastructures submerged in Icelandic waters. Since 2023, six American submarines They had already briefly entered the island waters for partial crew rotations, but this is the first stop in port, product of bilateral regulations prepared with discretion and based on similar agreements with other Nordic countries. An emerging axis. The submarine scale is not an isolated case: in 2019, B-2 Spirit poachers They also used Iceland as an advanced base, which was a novelty for both aircraft and for the island. The ability to operate from austere locations has become a key principle of the American projection strategy. Iceland, who for decades played a secondary role after the end of the cold war, is repositioning as a central node in the defensive device of NATO in the north, especially in front of the resurgence of the Russian underwater threat. This scale, therefore, is not only a naval operation, but a silent but unequivocal statement of intentions: the United States contemplates the Arctic as a theater of strategic competence in full boom, already Iceland as its new bastion.

After the hottest June in the history of Spain, there is a minimum ray of light on the horizon: Vaguadas

by

The heat wave It comes to an end, although the high temperatures will fad down gradually between today and Thursday. The heat wave has been the culminating point of a series of warm episodes that have been repeated since the end of May and, like so many of these episodes, has seen its end with the arrival of a trough and important associated storms. A record heat. Meteorologists advance that the month of June has been the hottest since we have records. And that It is not the only record that has broken during the last 30 days. The absolute temperature record was also broken for a month of June. It happened in the Huelva municipality of El Granado, where the thermometers They got to register a maximum of 46º. As if this were not enough, June He has also pulverized Another record, that of the greatest positive thermal anomaly, 3rd Celsius above what would be common during the sixth month of the year. All that despite the fact that a month with marked meteorological fluctuations in which extreme heat episodes with brief but intense storm episodes have alternated. It has been the tonic of recent weeks and everything indicates that once again it will be the storms that free us (for now) of heat. Summer troughs. Thermal relief will arrive pushed by arrival Of a series of troughs, the extensions of a area of ​​low pressures that will bring us cold air and atmospheric instability. It is expected that the arrival of the cold air associated with these troughs interact with the stagnant warm air mass on the peninsula and part of southern Europe. Storms and hail. THE RESULT: A NEW STORM REMESTING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF HEGHOE TO CHARGE STEPORS. The appearance of convective winds (resulting from the presence of warm and humid air that ascends to high layers of the atmosphere) is one of the key factors in this context. And what do the forecasts say? The State Meteorology Agency (Aemet) foresee that during the next few days the heat (still extreme in many areas) coexist with the proliferation of “locally strong” storms. Today these storms are expected in the mountains of the northern third and this peninsular; While tomorrow the mountainous areas of the entire northern half and surrounding areas could reach, as well as at northern plateau points, half north of the South Plateau and Sierra Nevada. Uncertainty. It is still early to foresee the weather tendency of the month of July but seasonal forecasts Aemet does not call optimism. A few weeks ago the agency spoke of a high probability that the summer of 2025 be remarkably warmer than usual.

The ruins of a temple located in the Andes can rewrite the history of a forgotten pre -Hispanic civilization

by

It is possible that the name Tiwanaku does not sound too much. It is not among the great most famous pre -Hispanic civilizations such as the Incas, Aztecs or Maya. However, this missing society before Europeans arrived in the South American continent reached unique dominance of their surroundings. The last discovery is proof of this. More than 200 kilometers. A team of researchers has documented A temple built by the civilization of Tiwanaku. This temple was found about 210 kilometers south of the power center of this civilization which allows us to better understand the geographical extension of the domain of this pre -Columbian culture. The state of Tiwanaku. There is little we know today about Tiwanaku. This civilization would have emerged south of Lake Titicaca, in what is now Bolivia. Tiwanaku would have managed to be one of the most powerful civilizations on the continent, but disappeared around the year 1000 of our era,, giving rise to the arrival of the Incas that would dominate the region five centuries later. This civilization would have achieved, Explain the responsible team of the new discovery, an advanced social structure and left behind traces of its architecture in the form of pyramids, staggered temples and monoliths, distributed in the vicinity of Lake Titicaca. However, delimiting the area of ​​influence of Tiwanaku is difficult among those who study this civilization. The last discovery can be helpful. The Palaspata temple. The site was baptized as the Palaspata temple in reference to the name by which the natives call in the area. As described, these ruins show a rectangular complex with 125 meters long and 145 wide. I would have had 15 quadrangular enclosures and an inner courtyard. The temple disposition would not have been random since it is aligned with the equinox. In the enclosure, fragments of Keru glasses were found, which were used for chicha consumption, a corn beer. Corn is not a local crop so The team considers that Palaspata’s environment would have been a commercial node in the Tiwanaku civilization. Combining techniques. To study the diffuse brands left by the old temple the team had to combine different satellite images, images that combined with those taken by drones with those who fly over the site. They also resorted to the photogrammetry technique, that is, three -dimensional reconstruction from multiple photographs. The details of the study were published In an article In the magazine Antiquity. Recycling the stones. Although we have just discovered the nature of this archaeological site, the environment was well known by local people. In fact, some of the stones and artifacts that constituted this temple had been “recycled” by local farmers in their own constructions. A triple border. Palaspata’s significance lies in its location as we indicated at the beginning, a “strategic” location for those responsible for the finding. This area, they explain, connected three of the main trade routes that communicated three valleys with two ecosystems: the high and fertile lands next to Lake Titicaca; The Andean Altiplano, livestock zone where the flames grew; and the Andean valleys east of Cochabamba, another agrarian region.

The amazing history of John McAfee, photos converted into videos with AI and much more in 1×11 crossover

by

On one occasion John Mcafee forecast that Bitcoin would reach $ 500,000 of value in less than three years. And if I didn’t succeed, he said, “I will eat my penis on national television.” That challenging bet never occurred – Bitcoin has not gone from 110,000 in all this time – but also Mcafee would then reveal that it was actually a call of attention. It is one of the many anecdotes of the life of an entrepreneur who later took an absolutely unusual direction. He began his career as a brilliant programmer and had the vision of creating one of the first commercial antivirus, but after some years of business success, his life took a radical turn. An absolutely unusual one in which the sex, drugs and weapons They were an integral part. All in McAfee’s life was histrionic and exaggerated until it ended up being arrested in Spain for tax evasion. We talk about that unique life in this new 1×11 crossover delivery, but we don’t stay there. Jaume Lahoz and Carlos Santa Engracia are again the drivers of an episode in which we also have other surprises. For example, a review of the news with some of the hottest themes – will the future Apple Watch include a lies detector? – and in which we also introduce a new section. It’s about what has made us experience with Videos generated with AI But that do not start from a text prompt, but from a photo that “comes alive” as always surprising.

The most legendary magician in history was not the most skilled, but a masked recklessness that revealed the secrets

by

If you lived the explosion of the private ones at the end of the 20th century, you lived the success of ‘Magic without secrets’, a program of Antena 3 in which A masked wizard executed classic illusionism on stage And then it meticulously revealed how he had done them. A broken taboo in front of the cameras that beat its responsible, Val Valentino, mortal enemies within the entertainment world. However, over time, the masked magician has found unexpected disciples: on the Internet, dozens of magicians They reveal without stopping The great secrets of magic. If illusionism has always interested, it has not stopped interesting that they tell us “how it is done.” And the masked wizard was the first to do it with a mass audience attached to the TV. Revealed magic In the 1990s, stage magic was … one thing. The scenario magicians were in the zenith of their success, with television specials that, from the eighties, They showed challenges to the laws of logic that fascinated the audiences. Were the times when David Copperfield The statue of freedom flew or disappeared, in which Siegfried & Roy -There are a tragic accident with a white tiger that would withdraw them from the stages in 2003- signed millionaire contracts in Las Vegas and in which even people like David BlaineAt the end of the decade, I was about to carry magic in an entirely new direction with its ‘Street Magic’. In that context, ‘magic without secrets’ came, a series of four specials of 1997 that in Spain issued Antena 3 and that did the unthinkable: explain how the apparently impossible classic tricks of illusionism were carried out. In them, a masked magician accompanied by the inevitable female assistants reviewed the entire repertoire of the magicians. As TV was what it was for those times, special attention was paid to the apparently more dangerous numbers: the magician was sawn in two, crossed with swords, swallowed fire, was shot and buried alive. Everything had a trick, of course, and explained. Double backgrounds, trucades, fire bullets, pussy sabers … The program did not leave triquiñuela without revealingbut the spectator had the feeling that he was accessing knowledge prohibited for a simple reason: the magician hid his features with a mask that remembered those of wrestling. The program was responsible for reminding us the code of the magicians to which the original title of the specials referred: ‘Breaking The Magician’s Code: Magic’s Biggest Secrets Finally Reveled’. Any wizard that broke it would immediately enter a black list of the guild, and would not work again. Black lists This detail is not necessarily true: much more prestigious magicians than this masking, such as the magnificent Penn & Teller, who in that decade were also overly unknown media figures, based on their numbers on revealing classic tricks … to take the enigma much further. They had also been controversial in the guild for playing the three balls and vessels With plastic containersallowing the secret to be seen, 0 revealing the Seven principles of magicand had unleashed a controversy that Even today it is between fans and professionals About whether to reveal the tricks power or fulminates magic. But although Total classics like Paul Daniels They had previously revealed tricks as part of their shows, no one had the media impact of the masked magician. Behind the program was Nash Entertainment, a producer of doccu-realities with titles such as ‘The World’s Deadliest Volcanoes’, ‘World’s Most Dary Dad Rescues’, ‘World’s Scariest Police Shootouts’, ‘When Good Pets Go Bad’ or ‘Prisoners out of control’. ‘Magic without secrets’ became one of his greatest successes: In 1997, the first program was the most watched special in Fox’s history. But … who was the masked wizard? His identity was revealed in the fourth and last special and as expected, it was not a first -class wizard but rather the opposite. Its history seems the secret origin of what ended up being: a comic supervillain between magicians. Val Valentino had been fond of magic since childhood and when he was a teenager he made a number in an exchange program with schools around the world that gave him a considerable audience among the kids of his age. There he played to reveal the tricks as a way to surprise and enhance the effects. And he discovered that no magic game could compete with revealing the secret. In the eighties and nineties he had a moderately successful career as a magician, appearing on television specials and acting, of course, in Las Vegas. When the opportunity arose to shoot the specials for Nash recalled the impact their children’s revelations had and decided to use it in their favor: success was considerable, and although Much of the controversy that the programs were awakened was prefabricated by Fox (There was no “threat of death by secret groups of magicians”), there was some demand for scenario magicians such as Andre Kole or Kevin Spencer. They claimed that the masked wizard had made them lose hundreds of thousands of dollars with their revelations. The courts gave the reason to Valentino, since the secrets of the tricks are not protected by the laws of intellectual property, much less those who had been part of the magical public domain. Although the new century has already entered the show tried to be relaunched with new secrets and new magicians, it did not enjoy the popularity of the four original specials. And in fact, magic, thanks to the Internet, enjoys better health than ever. So no, Val Valentino did not kill magic. In fact, in social networks like Tiktok there are accounts that are dedicated to revealing without rest Small magic gameswhich has given them an unprecedented scope. As Valentino predicted (and Penn & Teller already knew), knowing the secrets does not ruin anything, because what counts is the execution and ingenuity. The Supervillain at the end was a hero, even in that he looked like a comic character. Header | Nash … Read more

The filtration of 16,000 million passwords would be the largest in history. If it weren’t because it’s a gigantic refrito

by

A team of CYBERNEWS researchers He has discovered A large library with 16,000 million filtered passwords. That would be long the theft of credentials in history, but it has not been. That library is actually a compilation of 30 large sets of data already filtered in the past. Should I reassure us “just” that? Enough, but not quite. It is not a new massive theft of data. Cybernews researchers do not show their sources, but they point out that this is in essence a compilation of “supermassive data sets containing billions of credentials.” In those leaks – ancient, but it is not known how much – data appears that according to Cybernews come from Google, Facebook or Apple users. Again, without offering evidence of it. They explain that none of these data sets had been discovered before, except for one with 184 million credentials that They mentioned in Wired At the end of May. But it is still dangerous. The problem of a compilation like this is that it can serve as a great starting point for all types of cyber attacks. It is very likely that in that large database there will be a significant amount of duplicate credentials. No one has stolen data from Google, Facebook or Apple (recently). Although media such as cybernews or forbes talk that there are credentials of these platforms, again if any will be belonging to old data theft – which Of course Yeah There has been-. There have been no robberies (much less massive) of credentials in these companies recently, and if there were them, they should have made a communication responsible for the incidents – in the US the US is used FORM 8-K OF THE SEC– They can affect their businesses. Should I be worried? Relatively. It must be aware that these data theft give access to cybercriminals to millions of credentials (user and password) in all types of services, and they can gain access to our accounts in those services thanks to them and then attack them or use them as the basis of other attacks. But this is true every day, not only when a new security filtration appears. Have Ien Pwned is a useful service that allows us to enter an email address to check it with the databases of previous data theft. A curiosity here: the number of accounts hacked on this platform is almost 15,000 million, very similar to the one indicated in Cybernews. Check if you have hacked you. There has been a simple way to check if our email and password has leaked in any of these data theft. THE SERVICE HAVE I BEEN PWNED allows us Do it quicklyand here we have discovered something interesting: the database with which this platform works has almost 15,000 million accounts hacked in its registry. Almost the same number they are talking about in Cybernews, as if their great library was in essence the same one that has this service created by Troy Hunt cybersecurity expert. And acts accordingly. When introducing your email, services may appear in which your account may have been compromised. What you should do in case this happens is to change your password as soon as possible in those services, and, if possible, strengthen the security of that password. There are several methods to do so: you can create a strong passworduse a Password manageruse the two -step authentication “Specially recommended,” or even make the leap to the passkeys If the service allows it. Be careful out there. Those measures that we talk about should not only be applied if we realize that something has happened, but before it happens. It is better to prevent than healing, and it is worth reviewing the safety of our accounts on the Internet, especially the most sensitive. The mail (Gmail, for example) is especially delicate, since it is usually used as a password rescue method in many other services. It is a good idea here to go to the tools that allow verifying the security status of our accounts to reinforce it if possible. Google, for example, Maintain a control panel which we can access at all times to configure what is necessary and Avoid scares after.

“These decisions are difficult, but they are essential to face the challenges we are already facing the company’s current financial situation. It is very painful.” These words They are part of the statement That Naga Chandrasekaran, the manufacturing vice president of Intel, sent the employees of this company last Saturday. In his concrete message that the Board of Directors is preparing A template reduction that will range between 15 and 20%as well as most of the cuts will arrive in July. The challenges a Those who currently face Intel They exceed the other challenges that he has faced during his more than half a century of history. The leadership that has sustained for decades in the manufacturing industry of integrated circuits is in the hands of The Taiwanese company TSMC since the mid -2000s. In addition, the stagnation during the last years of the PC market and the slowness with which Intel has participated in the industry of the industry of the artificial intelligence (AI) have placed it in a very compromised position. In July 2024, the company that at that time led Pat Gelsinger gave a tremendous batacazo in the stock market. Their actions fell 30% in a few days and stabilized in the value they had in 2011. In addition, Intel lost $ 1.6 billion During the second quarter of 2024 and its year -on -year income fell by 1%. These circumstances triggered a crisis that still persists today. This cut will have an inevitable impact on Intel factories Last August 2 Intel announced that was about to start a structural adjustment plan that pursued to reduce the costs of the company and increase its agility when adapting to the challenges that the market currently imposes. Its objective was to fire 15% of the workforce (more than 15,000 employees) and reduce costs by approximately 10,000 million dollars. Pat Gelsinger had declared shortly before Intel was inefficient because he had an excessively complex structure. It is still early to identify how this measure will affect the competitiveness and performance of Intel factories Not even Gelsinger himself “survived” this regeneration process. On December 2 This executive came out in a somewhat precipitated way of the company, whose course was uncertain until last March 18 Lip-bu took the reins of Intel. This veteran physicist and nuclear engineer He hastened to confirm that two of the pillars of its strategy would pursue reinforce the company’s position in the AI ​​market and reposition Intel as a leading company in the integrated circuit manufacturing industry. Shortly after his arrival It was leaked that lip-bu so He planned to launch a new cut of the Intel template in a clear attempt to reduce their operating expenses, among which personnel costs or marketing expenses are counted. The figure that the company shuffled on this occasion amounted to 20% of its workforce, which in practice implied to dispense with approximately 20,000 workers. These people join the more than 15,000 employees of which Intel has dispensed with during the last months of 2024. Now we know something else. From the statement that Naga Chandrasekaran has sent just four days ago to Intel employees it follows that during the next weeks they will be forced to leave their jobs Between 8,000 and 10,900 factor workers That has this company disseminated throughout the planet. However, presumably the most affected plant will be the largest of all: that of Oregon (USA). It is still early to identify how this measure will affect the competitiveness and performance of Intel factories, but its size invites us to anticipate that it will have a deep impact on the production infrastructure of this company.
