  The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) plans to set up an "Elections Day Operations Center" to monitor the midterm election. In response to concerns about potential attempts to sabotage the congressional election, CISA, the main US cybersecurity agency, announced that it would monitor and issue security alerts on Tuesday's vote. After it was discovered that Russia meddled in the 2016 US election with a hacking and propaganda effort meant to harm Hilary Clinton's chances of defeating Donald Trump, election security has become a major concern in the US. According to a statement released on Monday, the top US cybersecurity agency intends to establish "Elections Day Operations Centers" with partners in the public and private sectors around the nation to track the midterm elections. Kim Wyman, senior election security advisor at CISA, said in a statement last week that election officials "have had to deal with increased disinformation ...

  Up 10–12.5 percent from their respective launch prices in India. In India, the cost of the PlayStation 5 has increased by at least 10%. On the Sony Center website ShopAtSC, Sony India secretly changed the prices for both models of its elusive next-generation system, the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition, on Saturday. The PlayStation 5's current price, which is Rs. 54,990 (up 10% from Rs. 49,990 at launch), includes a 4K Blu-ray player. The price of the PS5 Digital Edition, which does not include a disc, has increased 12.5 percent to Rs. 44,990 from Rs. 39,990 since it was first released. This is probably because of the rising value of the US dollar (USD), which has had an impact on almost every aspect of global civilization. Gadgets 360 has contacted Sony India for comment, but as of this writing, we had not received a response at the time of publishing. Thankfully, the cost of any PS5 accessories hasn't changed yet. DualSense, the wireless controller for the PlayStation 5, is stil...

  PayPal said lower- and middle-income households had started reducing non-essential spending. After the industry leader in digital payments trimmed its annual revenue projection and warned of a dismal holiday quarter as customers cut down on discretionary spending, PayPal Holdings shares fell by close to 6 percent in morning trade on Friday. Consumers' purchasing power has been impacted by decades-high inflation while simultaneously being threatened by an impending recession. According to Wedbush analyst Moshe Katri, "consumers have been switching from high-end, pricey goods to more reasonably priced ones while also spending more on non-discretionary products." According to PayPal, lower- and middle-income people have begun cutting back on non-essential spending as a result of rising food, electricity, and petrol prices. The company's circumspect remarks reveal its increased sensitivity to and exposure to discretionary expenditure, according to Katri. In a conference...

ENISA's study follows concerns about the role of state actors and the growing range of threats to governments, companies and essential sectors. Geopolitics, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, have contributed to more severe and pervasive computer threats in the year to July, according to a report released on Thursday by EU cybersecurity agency ENISA. The analysis by ENISA comes in response to worries about the influence of state actors and the widening array of dangers facing organisations, governments, and vital industries including banking, energy, transportation, and digital infrastructure. According to the agency, geopolitical events during the time period under study, particularly the Russian invasion of Ukraine, changed the game. Zero-day exploits, which allow hackers to take advantage of software defects before developers had a chance to patch them, as well as deepfakes and disinformation powered by artificial intelligence led to more nefarious and pervasive attacks w...

  Deribit becomes the latest in a long list of crypto companies to be targeted by hacks in 2022. An notification made on Twitter claims that the cryptocurrency derivatives platform Deribit was compromised for $28 million (about Rs. 231.7 crore) late on November 1. The trading platform claims that the cash of its customers are secure and adds that any losses have been paid by its own reserves, so the hacking incident won't have an impact on Deribit's insurance fund. Deribit asserts that it keeps 99 percent of the money from its clients in cold storage locations. The hot wallets for Bitcoin, Ether, and USD Coin on the exchange were successfully compromised by the attacker. These wallets have been contained and segregated, the exchange added. Deribit consequently confirmed that the majority of client accounts, including Fireblocks, were unaffected. Deribit further emphasised that any hot wallets that were not impacted by the breach assets in cold storage were completely safe. Even...
