It took a hacker two and a half hours to steal thousands of personal data from Endesa customers. Endesa took a week to notify

Endesa Energy has confirmed a cyberattack on its trading platform that has exposed critical information of millions of customers. The breach includes identity documents, bank accounts and data from electricity and gas contracts, which places those affected at risk of fraud and identity theft. What exactly happened. A cybercriminal has managed to circumvent the security measures of Endesa’s commercial platform and access sensitive customer information related to their energy contracts. According to has recognized the company in communications sent to those affected, during the security breach contact information, ID and IBAN numbers from bank accounts would have been extracted. The company ensures that the access passwords have not been compromised. The magnitude of the incident. The hacker responsible, who identifies himself as “Spain,” posted on January 4 on BreachForums, a popular forum in the dark webdetails of the attack claiming to have obtained more than 1 TB of information corresponding to more than 20 million people, according to reported the Digital Shield medium. The cybercriminal assured this medium that he had gained access in less than two and a half hours, and has gone so far as to leak data samples from a thousand clients to demonstrate the authenticity of the stolen information. What type of data is at stake. The hacker claims to have obtained basic personal data (names, surnames, postal addresses and contact information), financial information (IBAN, billing data and account history), energy data (CUPS, active electricity and gas contracts, supply point information) and regulatory data. The risks for clients. Although Endesa considers it “unlikely” that the theft will result in “a high-risk impact on the rights and freedoms of users,” the company warns of several real dangers in its official statement. Cybercriminals could try to impersonate customers, post the data on digital forums, or use it for phishing and spam campaigns. Josep Albors, Director of Research and Awareness at ESET Spain, explains that “the risk does not end with the notification of the breach” and that the exposed information can be reused for months or years to launch targeted fraud. Endesa’s response. The energy company has taken almost a week to publicly acknowledge the incident since the leak became known. The company claims to have immediately activated security protocols, blocked compromised access and notified the competent authorities of the case. In addition, it has enabled telephone lines to resolve doubts: 800 760 366 for Endesa Energía customers and 800 760 250 for those of Energía XXI, its distributor in the regulated market. We have contacted the company to find out more information about it, so we will update the article in case of news. What should those affected do? The problem with this security breach is that the data is surely used for advertising campaigns. phishing and targeted spam. As explained by ESET, the first thing we should keep in mind as affected parties is to distrust any communication that appears to come from Endesa and that includes links, attachments or urgent requests, always contacting the company through official channels. This has not been the case, but it never hurts to frequently review bank accounts to detect unauthorized movements and change passwords, even if the company claims that they have not been compromised, activating security protocols whenever possible. two factor authentication. Free and useful websites like ‘Have I Been Pwned‘ allow us to check if the data has appeared in other known breaches by entering our email. The extortion attempt. According to account According to Escudo Digital, the hacker has tried to negotiate directly with Endesa through emails, although at the moment he has not set a specific ransom figure. The cybercriminal, who says he is not affiliated with any group of ransomware known, has received offers from third parties of up to $250,000 for half of the database, although he claims to have not sold anything yet. “I prefer to wait for Endesa to decide,” he told the media. A worrying trend. Just like they count From the media Expansión, this attack places Endesa on the growing list of large Ibex 35 companies that have suffered cyberattacks in recent months. Companies such as Iberdrola, Iberia, Repsol and Banco Santander have been victims of similar incidents that have compromised customer data. And they have not been the only ones, since cyberattacks and data leaks They are now much more common. In the case of Endesa it seems that we will have to wait for the company to offer more information on the matter.

differences and how to configure your artificial intelligence to notify you

Let’s explain How to create reminders with artificial intelligencefocusing on those of Chatgpt and Gemini for being the most used. Both applications have two completely different systems to create these reminders, so we are also going to tell you the differences. You are already one of those people who use a specific application for reminders or of which a message with Telegram or a similar app is programmed to remind you something, this is a very interesting alternative. With this, you will give the artificial intelligence a new use, so that The day you want at the time you ask you send you a notification To remind you something. Two different ways of sending reminders Chatgpt and Gemini bet on two completely different methods To send you reminders. This is the reflection of the philosophy of each of the companies, one betting on its AI as an autonomous service and another integrating it into its service ecosystem. On the one hand Chatgpt sends you reminders autonomously. When you configure one, will send a notification in all devices where you have the application installed. Will also send you an email In case you did not have the apps installed or you have not given them permits to send you notifications. Besides, Gemini creates the reminders in the Google Task app. This means that you will have to link Gemini with your other Google services, and you will also need to have the Tasks application installed on your mobile. That on the mobile, because on the computer it will work through the browser and tasks. As you see, ChatGPT simplifies reminderswhile with Gemini they complicate a little when depending on another application that is also from Google. But if you are already a person accustomed to using Google apps, this will make everything be integrated into the ecosystem you already use. In addition, the fact that Gemini takes the reminders to a specific application for them will also facilitate the way to manage them. In chatgpt you will have to look for them in the chat Where you have configured them, but in the case of Gemini you can go directly to Tasks, something that will save you time. Come on, there are positive and negative points in both methods. Anyway, in both cases you can Create reminders by writing them or by voicesince both AI have hands -free functions to speak by voice or the possibility of sending audio messages. This will greatly facilitate things at those moments when you can’t stop writing the Prompt. Create Reminders with Chatgpt To create a chatgpt reminder, you have to write a prompt in which you ask that Create a reminder in a day and an hour concrete, then putting what you want me to put in the reminder after two points. For example, you can use this prompt: “Create a reminder for tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. saying: Visit Xataka Basics.” The structure and composition of the prompt can vary, You can write it in your way with natural text as long as you mention the key data of the date, time and content. Chatgpt will be able to understand what you have asked. At the time you make the request, A window will appear showing the reminder. In this window you can see the content, date and time, and you can ask you to do any correction simply by telling you what you want me to change. And that’s it. When the specific time comes, Chatgpt will issue a notification with the reminder. He will do it as a notification of the app, although he will also remind you in the chat where you did the request. In addition, you will also send you an email so that there is no way to forget. Create reminders with Gemini To create a reminder in Gemini, you have to write a prompt in which you ask you Create a reminder in a day and an hour concrete, then putting what you want me to put in the reminder after two points.

If you have not done it, you will see a picture where you have to click on Continue To go to a screen where you must activate the Intelligent functions in Google Workspace. When you have linked workspaces, at the time you ask you to believe the reminder, A window will appear showing the reminder on Google Tasks. In this window you can see the content, date and time, and you can ask you to do any correction or go directly to Google Tasks to do it. In the event that you do not have it, You will have to install the Google Tasks application On mobile, available In Google Play For Android and In the App Store For iOS. You will have to log in with the same Google account you use in Gemini. And that’s it. Now, when they arrive the day and time where you have configured the reminder, Google Tasks will issue notification To remind you what you have asked.

ASML, Airbus and Mistral are planted before Brussels. They ask that the application of the law of AI and notify the risks delay

Europe already has its great artificial intelligence law. What is missing, according to several companies, are the concrete rules to apply it. Only one month after the first standards for the most advanced models, more than 45 large companies – among them ASML, Airbus or Mistral – enter into force – They have signed an open letter asking Brussels to “stop the clock” and postpone their entry into force two years. They point to an unrealistic calendar and the difficulty of competing with the United States or China. What exactly is EU’s artificial intelligence law? The European Union Artificial Intelligence Law entered into force on August 1, 2024after having been politically approved by the European Parliament and the Council in December 2023. It is the first comprehensive regulation of the world focused on this technology, and regulates from how the models are trained to what contexts can be used. The key is in its approach to risk levels: the greater the potential impact, more legal obligations. And what exactly Asml, Airbus, Mistral and the rest ask? They demand a pause two years before the most demanding parts of the law enter into force, especially those that affect high -risk systems and the general purpose models, whose first section is scheduled for August 2025. The reason: The standard is too complex, overlaps with other regulations and still lacks key guides for its application. ASML headquarters in Veldhoven Among those guides is the code of good practices, that had to have been published in spring and still does not be ready. Companies argue that without that document, and with this level of uncertainty, the law can become a brake for European innovation. “This situation puts at risk not only the development of European leaders, but the ability of all industries to deploy the scale required by global competition,” They warn. They also ask that regulatory quality prioritize against speed, and warn that continuing without changes would send a wrong message to the seriousness of Europe in its commitment to technological competitiveness. The names behind this initiative. The request does not arise from an isolated startup or from an informal group of companies. Behind is the EU AI Champions Initiative, a group that groups more than 60 European companies that claim to be committed to the development of a competitive AI and aligned with the EU values. Among its members are names such as ASML, Airbus, Mistral AI, Mercedes-Benz, BNP Paribas, Siemens Energy, Lufthansa, Philips or Publicis. Of course, not all members of the US Ai Champions Initiative signed the letter published this week.
