Do you think that the Gen z gen is less educated about cybersecurity? Is it because they haven't seen many cyber security threats as a the generation from 80s or 90s? I seriously think that they lack awareness as they haven't had any serious exposure to malicious programs as a person from 80s or 90s. My kids have never seen a virus/malicious program wrecking havoc on their systems. They don't use usb drives as I used to, all their files reside in cloud or on protected devices, never seen...
Hii guys, I hope you are doing well, actually my girlfriend’s account got hacked one hour ago. She mistakenly gave the verification code access to a malicious bot and her account immediately got logged out. And when we try to login back from the phone number verification, the code is not coming. Hacker is sending inappropriate and scam messages to her contact. We have also reached out to the telegram hack support team, but got no relief till now. Please help me with this.

We keep telling home users “just use common sense, update your stuff, and you’ll be fine.” But the last year has made that feel a little too simple.
On one hand, browsers are tightening extension rules (Manifest V3 in Chromium) in the name of security and performance. On the other hand, we’re still seeing large-scale campaigns living inside home routers, especially older end-of-life models, plus the usual wave of phishing and account takeovers. (arXiv)
So I’m curious what people here think...

I am exploring how digital identity and privacy can be managed with minimal manual effort by users.
Specifically, I want to understand whether there are existing tools, frameworks, or commonly accepted approaches that:
- Automatically adjust identity or privacy settings based on context (for example work, personal use, or public access)
- Reduce the need for users to manually manage multiple identities or repeated privacy configurations
- Are designed with user privacy as a primary goal...

I just found Google's "Results About You" service, which purportedly helps you "find and remove personal contact info in Google Search results," as part of the report about Google EOLing the "Dark Web Report" service.
I entered my names and email addresses (which Google already knows really well by now). Two results showed up: one from an old mailing list that I have already forgotten about and one from a background check site. I requested removal for both items; both requests were denied...
