UK carrier Virgin Media O2 recently announced that since August, it has been using a new fraud prevention technology, which it expects will prevent more than £6 million worth of fraudulent handset orders every year.The new solution was designed to combat a type of fraud called “Account Takeover,” in which bad actors hack a customer’s online account and acquire access to their phone number. From there, hackers either intercept messages — like password reset messages from the victim’s bank — or order expensive devices through the stolen account, which then get taken by organized gangs.Virgin Med… Read more on https://tech.planetic.net/uk-carrier-virgin-media-o2-announces-new-technology-to-stop-fraudulent-handset-orders-latest-2022/?feed_id=31450&_unique_id=639c2c4587dbc

If the RTX 4090 and the RTX 4080 didn’t catch your eye, a new leak suggests that the RTX 4060 might prove to be an interesting option. It certainly seems like it will be better suited to cater to a wider audience. According to a post made by a Lenovo representative, the GPU may have competitive performance combined with power efficiency and a decent price.

Today’s Google Doodle helps honor and celebrate trailblazing Romanian physicist Ștefania Mărăcineanu, on what would have been her 140th birthday. Little is known of Mărăcineanu’s early and personal life, but according to biographers Marlene and Geoffrey Rayner-Canham, it was a “bleak” childhood. After graduating from the University of Bucharest with a degree in physical and chemical science in 1910, the young scientist taught at various high schools in the city including the Central School for Girls. While teaching, Mărăcineanu earned a scholarship from the Romanian Ministry of Science and… Read more on https://tech.planetic.net/google-doodle-celebrates-physicist-stefania-maracineanus-140th-birthday/?feed_id=31426&_unique_id=639b6a2c6a0a7

Both DICE and EA’s multiplayer-focused Star Wars Battlefront titles have earned solid fanbases and sold well, but Battlefront II 2017 in particular was plagued by bad press in relation to loot boxes and gambling addictions, and the LEGO Star Warsgames simply existed. If the ’90s and early 2000s were home to some great games from the franchi… Read more on https://tech.planetic.net/star-wars-jedi-successfully-avoids-the-prequel-problem/?feed_id=31425&_unique_id=639b5b7a1b93f

Following the recent Q1 2022 report from EV startup Canoo, we find the feature image rather fitting. After admitting a net loss over $125 million for the first three months of this year, Canoo is very much stuck out in the woods. With a lack of current cash on hand to realistically get through Q2, Canoo admitted “there is substantial doubt” about the company’s ability to get out of those financial woods either. Canoo is certainly making its presence known on our homepage today. Earlier, we reported a lawsuit filed Monday in which the EV startup was working to recoup $61 million in “shor… Read more on https://tech.planetic.net/canoo-the-company-set-to-build-nasa-astronaut-transporter-faces-major-losses-substantial-doubt-for-future/?feed_id=31421&_unique_id=639b221123aec
