Watch Out for Malicious Unsubscribe Links

In addition to the flood of spam texts you receive on a daily basis, your email inbox is likely filled with newsletters, promotions, and other messages that you don't care to read and perhaps don't know why you receive. But you shouldn't just start clicking unsubscribe links, which may open you up to certain cybersecurity risks. Email unsubscribe links may be maliciousWhile email unsubscribe links may seem innocuous, especially if you generally trust the sender, security experts say there are a number of ways in which threat actors can leverage these links for malicious purposes. Like responding to a spam text or answering a spam call, clicking "unsubscribe" confirms that your email address is active, giving cyber criminals an incentive to keep targeting you.In some cases, unsubscribe link...

Blood Donor Day | Blood donation simple, safe, can make huge impact: JP Nadda

The act of donating blood is simple, safe, and can make a huge impact on the needy ones, said Union Health Minister JP Nadda on World Blood Donor Day on Saturday. World Blood Donor Day, celebrated on 14 June every year, serves to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank voluntary unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood.

Why I Would Choose a Steam Deck Over a Nintendo Switch 2

We may earn a commission from links on this page. After spending about a week with the Nintendo Switch 2, I have to admit that it’s a good console. It’s priced fairly for its sleek form factor and the performance it offers, and it sets Nintendo up to stay relevant while gaming graphics only continue to get more complex. And yet, for my own personal tastes, it’s still not my handheld of choice. Instead, I’ll be sticking to Valve’s Steam Deck, the first and still overall best handheld gaming PC, at least going by value for money. And if you don’t necessarily care about Nintendo’s exclusive games, there’s a good chance it might be the better option for you, too.The Steam Deck is cheaper than the Switch 2Out of the gate, the most obvious reason to get a Steam Deck over a ...

Breathing patterns unique like fingerprints; may offer insights on health: Study

The way one breathes could possibly serve as their "nasal fingerprints", researchers said after their study could identify individuals based solely on their breathing patterns with a nearly 97 per cent accuracy. "You would think that breathing has been measured and analysed in every way. Yet we stumbled upon a completely new way to look at respiration. We consider this as a brain readout," said author Noam Sobel of Israel`s Weizmann Institute of Science. The findings of the study, published in the journal Current Biology, also showed that one`s "respiratory fingerprints" correlated with their body mass index, sleep-wake cycle, levels of depression and anxiety, and even behavioral traits. Therefore, breathing patterns could offer a window into their physical and mental health, the author...

Canada warns further Israel, Iran conflict could have ‘devastating’ results – National

Canada is urging de-escalation after Israel launched strikes against Iran on Thursday evening, with Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand calling on all parties to “refrain from actions that further destabilize the region.” “Further action risks triggering a broader regional conflict with devastating consequences,” Anand wrote on X on Friday morning.In her post, she said Canada is closely following what is unfolding and that they remain “deeply concerned” about the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program.That rapidly advancing nuclear program appeared to cause tensions to boil over leading to Israel’s strikes, which began on Thursday evening (early Friday morning local time), with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warning of “severe consequences.”According t...
