Security researchers say hackers have breached at least 400 organizations by exploiting a zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint, signaling a sharp rise in the number of detected compromises since the bug was discovered last week. Eye Security, a Dutch cybersecurity firm that first identified the vulnerability in SharePoint, a popular server software that companies use to store and share internal documents, said it had identified hundreds of affected SharePoint servers by scanning the internet. The number has risen from the dozens of known compromised servers as of earlier this week. Bloomberg reports that one of the affected organizations includes the…

Facebook Tweet Email Link They are the two most populous countries in the world and neighbors clamoring for more tourists, but for much of the last five years it has been difficult for Indian and Chinese nationals to vacation in each other’s nations. Now that looks set to finally change as previous fractious relations between the two Asian giants finally begin to thaw. India will issue tourist visas for Chinese citizens for the first time in five years, allowing nationals from its neighboring country to freely visit each other, marking a significant reset in relations after a deadly border clash…

Strawberries are the most popular berry in the U.S. for both consumers and farmers alike. They’re also some of the most pesticide-reliant fruits and consistently top the Environmental Working Group’s “Dirty Dozen” list of the most contaminated produce. San Luis Obispo, California-based TRIC Robotics thinks it can help strawberry farmers reduce chemical use with the help of UV light and robots. The startup built a fleet of robots that use UV-C light, a form of ultraviolet light that is largely blocked by the earth’s atmosphere, to kill bacteria and damage pest populations. The tractor-sized autonomous robots can treat up to…

Thailand’s military dwarfs that of neighboring Cambodia, both in personnel and weaponry. Thailand’s 361,000 active-duty personnel spread across all branches of its military is three times Cambodia’s manpower. And Thailand is far ahead of Cambodia when it comes to weaponry. “Thailand has a large, well-funded military and its air force is one of the best equipped and trained in Southeast Asia,” the International Institute for Strategic Studies wrote in its “Military Balance 2025” report on the world’s armed forces. The US classes Thailand as a major non-NATO ally, the IISS notes. That has enabled it to enjoy decades of US…

For every technology, there comes a tipping point where it switches from theory to possibility. Robin Langtry believes that Avalanche Energy has reached that point. Avalanche recently operated its desktop fusion machine for hours on end while maintaining 300,000 volts, a figure the startup predicts will allow it to build a reactor capable of generating more energy than it consumes, the holy grail for any fusion company.  Where other fusion companies need powerful magnets to generate energy, Avalanche’s design uses intense electrical currents to draw fast-moving ions into tight orbits around an electrode. As the density and speed of the…

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — For six hours every day after school, Nahideh works in a cemetery, collecting water from a nearby shrine to sell to mourners visiting loved ones’ graves. She dreams of becoming a doctor — but knows it is a futile dream.When the next school year starts, she will be enrolling in a madrassa, a religious school, to learn about the Quran and Islam — and little else.“I prefer to go to school, but I can’t, so I will go to a madrassa,” she said, dark brown eyes peering out from beneath her tightly wrapped black headscarf. “If…
