Fake CAPTCHA Websites Hijack Your Clipboard to Install Information Stealers

There are more and more sites that use a clipboard hijacker and instruct victims on how to infect their own machine.

I realize that may sound like something trivial to steer clear from, but apparently it’s not because the social engineering behind it is pretty sophisticated.

At first, these attacks were more targeted at people that could provide cybercriminals a foothold at a targeted company, but their popularity has grown so much that now anyone can run into one of them.

It usually starts on a website that promises visitors some kind of popular content: Movies, music, pictures, news articles, you name it.

Nobody will think twice when they are asked to prove they are not a robot.

But the next step in this method isn’t what you would normally see.

TikTok Has a New Security Checkup Dashboard

Social media apps aren't exactly known for their privacy and security features, but TikTok users are getting a little bit of help with a built-in tool to monitor their account security and keep their information safe.

Yes, I said TikTok.

The new Security Checkup dashboard shows you where your TikTok security is lacking with step-by-step guidance to update your settings.

NOTE: This guide covers the mobile version.

If like me, you use the desktop version then go to your settings and if you are not sure where that is then...

Log into your TikTok account and once logged in, open the browser tab next to that one and copy & paste (or type I guess) this URL: https://www.tiktok.com/setting.

This will open up your Manage Account page where you can check and adjust a lot of the settings.

What Do BCE and UTC Mean? Deciphering Date and Time Abbreviations

We see these letters all the time at museums, in history books, and on the clock — “A.D.,” “CE,” “UTC,” “EST” — but what do they mean?

These abbreviations denote dates and times, and in some cases, may describe the exact same thing (A.D. and CE, for example).

This might sound confusing, but once you learn the origins of these date and time abbreviations and what they stand for, they’re a lot easier to remember.

We'll start this guide with the A.M. and P.M. what they mean and that in most of the World and US Military, these are not used because they are on the 24 hour clock system.

How to Make Engaging Long-Form YouTube Videos

Not everything fits in 60 seconds.

If you’re looking to make the most of long-form video in 2025, here are the key strategies you need to know.

What Are AI Agents? A Comprehensive Guide

When you think of AI agents, do you imagine a personal AI assistant like Tony Stark's Jarvis?

Perhaps a calm-under-pressure TARS from Interstellar?

Or, more on the scary spectrum, an amoral HAL 9000 straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey?

Don't worry: current technology doesn't come close to that kind of science fiction—not yet anyway.

Right now, AI agents leverage AI models to understand goals, generate tasks, and go about completing them.

In this guide lets dig deeper into what Agents are, how they work and some examples to help us better understand this techie stuff.
