How to Tell If That Apple ‘Threat Notification’ Is Legit

Threat actors are always finding ways to make their attacks seem more believable—often by using urgent security matters that push victims to act quickly—so you should always be skeptical of messages and notifications warning you that your device or account has been compromised. That said, if you receive a spyware warning from Apple via push notification, it's likely real, and you shouldn't ignore it. Apple's threat notification system is designed to alert individuals who have been targeted by mercenary spyware, such as Pegasus, which can silently infect devices and track everything a user does. Since 2021, the company has sent these alerts multiple times a year. In the vast majority of cases, those affected are in high-profile positions—such as politicians, journalists, and activists—that ...

In theory, you can use your FSA or HSA funds to get yourself a shiny new fitness tracker or smartwatch (even the latest Fitbit Air)—but is the process really as straightforward as the marketing suggests? Right off the bat, your HSA/FSA dollars won't be able to cover the entire purchase; instead, you'll save an average of 30% on eligible health purchases. There is some more fine print, although it’s not as tricky as you might think. For the most part, if a device is necessary for treating or monitoring a specific medical condition—and not just “general wellness”—it could be eligible to purchase with those ...

AI could cut doctors' paperwork burden as global health worker shortage looms

Against this backdrop, the report mentioned that technology can help existing healthcare staff handle more patients by reducing some of the work that does not require th...

Man travels from Jabalpur to Mumbai to get treated without open brain surgery

A team of hybrid Mumbai doctors have successfully treated an elderly man from abalpur who was suffering from a large subdural hematoma (SDH), a condition in which blood collects between the brain and its outer covering due to bleeding. The man, who was taking blood-thinning medication for an existing heart condition, was advised conventional open brain surgery because of the size of the bleed and mass effect. However, as he was unwilling to undergo open surgery, the team successfully treated him using an advanced minimally invasive Middle Meningeal Artery (MMA) embolisation, allowing him to recover without opening the skull. On follow-up, the man is doing well and has resumed his clinic and is treating patients like before. The 67-year-old practicing doctor had dedicated his life to cari...
