2023 NFL conference title picks, odds: Bengals defense keeps Chiefs in check, Eagles exploit 49ers’ weaknesses

/in


Just four teams remain standing in the NFL playoffs, and on Sunday our matchup for Super Bowl LVII will be finalized. This postseason has been a profitable one for us over here as we’ve pegged the playoff bracket perfectly, picking each game on the money line exactly. Our 7-2-1 ATS mark in the postseason — which includes a 3-1 ATS record in the divisional round last week — isn’t too shabby either. 

Now that I’m done jinxing myself with that pat on the back, we’ll look to keep those good vibes rolling all the way to Arizona for the Super Bowl. First, let’s hammer out these picks for Championship Weekend where only one No. 1 seed survives.

Featured Game | Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco 49ers

The improbable Cinderella run by Brock Purdy and the 49ers has been one of the more enjoyable aspects of the 2022 season, but I see this story coming to a close on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles are a tough draw for San Francisco because they are well-equipped to attack the 49ers’ few weaknesses. 

Philadelphia’s offense should be able to throw on this Niners secondary, particularly deep. Kyle Shanahan’s defense ranks in the bottom five in the NFL in completion percentage, touchdown-to-interception ratio, and passer rating against throws 25+ yards down the field. Meanwhile, that’s part of what Jalen Hurts does best. The Eagles quarterback has a passer rating of 125.0 on throws 25 or more yards downfield and has 10 touchdowns to just one interception on those throws. After a quiet divisional round, A.J. Brown should be the main beneficiary of Philly’s attempt to exploit that weakness, especially with seven of his 11…

Check Point teams with Intel for processor-level anti-ransomware security

/in


Cybersecurity firm Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has extended a collaboration with Intel Corp. to offer enhanced anti-ransomware capabilities for Check Point Harmony customers.

Under the collaboration, the Intel vPro platform’s threat detection technology will be available within Check Point Harmony Endpoint. The pairing provides enterprises with processor-level anti-ransomware security at both the hardware and software levels at no extra cost.

The problem being addressed is a well-known one: Cyber criminals are becoming more creative in their attacks. Check Point recorded a 42% global increase in cyberattacks in 2022, with ransomware identified as the No. 1 threat. The company argues that “prevention first” continues is the best cybersecurity strategy because once an attack happens, it can be challenging to repair the damage to the victim and its reputation.

The integration sees Check Point Harmony Endpoint tap into Intel’s Threat Detection Technology Technology, available on the Intel vPro platform, to employ artificial intelligence and machine learning. With the ability to use AI and machine learning, Harmony can analyze processor telemetry and recognize ransomware encryption commands early in the attack flow, raising the barrier against advanced threats, according to the companies.

Combined, the service strengthens prevention and security measures for customers, blocking endpoint threats with capabilities that identify, block and remediate the entire attack chain.

“The Intel vPro platform contains hardware-based security features, including Threat Detection Technology specifically designed to detect ransomware and other advanced threats,” Carla Rodríguez, vice president and general manager, Ecosystem Partner Enabling at Intel, said in a statement. “When paired with Check Point’s security solutions, customers can be confident knowing their endpoints are better protected at both the hardware and software layers.”

Check Point customers benefit from processor-level security that starts at the silicon level and provides anti-ransomware capabilities allowing for earlier prevention and expansive attack surface coverage.

Airport Security Check Will Happen Without Taking Out Laptop, Mobile From Your Bag! Find Out How? – Trak.in

Flight passengers will no longer be required to remove their electronic devices while getting their cabin baggage screened. 

Airport Security Check Will Happen Without Taking Out Laptop, Mobile From Your Bag! Find Out How?

Latest reports have confirmed that airports will soon employ advanced technology to screen bags without having to remove electronic devices. 

Airports To Use Technology For Screening Cabin Baggage

In India, the lengthy lines of passengers removing their laptops, cell phones, and chargers from their carry-on bags before security screenings may soon be a thing of the past. 

The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), the agency in charge of overseeing aviation security, is anticipated to release technical norms within a month, which will encourage airports to use cutting-edge equipment to screen bags without removing electronic devices.

As per a senior official of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), “All airports, including Delhi airport, need to improve the machines deployed for screening of cabin bags. They are lagging behind. Technologies such as dual x-ray, computer tomography and neutron beam technology will eliminate the need for passengers to remove laptops and other electronic devices.”

Today, airports all over the nation are experiencing a record number of passengers, which has already surpassed pre-Covid levels. On December 11, there were 4.27 lakh domestic travelers. 

Civil Aviation Minister Confirms Order of Providing More Machines

Security lanes were discovered to be the biggest congestion points at Delhi Airport, which recently experienced scenes of overcrowding resulting in passengers missing their flights. This was primarily because the number of x-ray machines for screening cabin bags was not commensurate with passenger traffic during peak hours.

Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia intervened to order the airport operator to provide more machines for screening cabin bags after senior government officials accused airports of failing to expand their infrastructure to handle the increasing number of flights and passengers. Although the CISF supplies personnel, airport operators are responsible for providing the necessary security infrastructure.

How to check if someone is stealing your Wi-Fi and what to do about it

/in


Have you noticed your Wi-Fi is slowing down? Or are you worried at all about neighbors or a potential hacker getting into your network to steal your Internet? 

Even if your neighbor is just “borrowing” your Wi-Fi, having anyone on your network could be potentially dangerous to you and your privacy. Read on to see how to find out if someone is stealing your Wi-Fi and what to do about it. 

Is someone stealing your Wi-Fi? 

What are the dangers of someone stealing your internet connection?

No matter how benign it may seem for someone else to be on your Wi-Fi network, it’s not good. 

HOW TO KEEP YOUR SMART TV SAFE

Your connection slows down for every device added. If someone gets into your Wi-Fi network and uses it for streaming, gaming or anything else that uses a lot of data, your connection is sure to slow even more. 

They also may have access to files saved on your devices that are connected to that Wi-Fi, plus more experienced hackers can end up getting into the devices that are on the network. That means the information you input is no longer secure or private. 

You are also losing out on the Wi-Fi connection you pay good money for if someone else is stealing that connection. 

How to check if someone is on your Wi-Fi 

To avoid all of the issues above, be sure to check if someone is on your network.

This first step works out if you don’t have too many devices connected to your Wi-Fi router. If you have five or fewer devices on your Wi-Fi, this is a good method. You can do it with more devices, but after following these steps, you may have to log back into the Wi-Fi network afterward so the more devices you have connected the longer that might take.   

Having anyone on your network could be potentially dangerous to you and your privacy.

1) Unplug your devices and check the router 

First, you can unplug all of the devices you have connected to the Wi-Fi (like an Alexa). 

Then turn off Wi-Fi on any others so that you don’t connect to the internet with a plug, like your phone, tablet and computer. 

Then, check your router to see if there’s any activity…
