[Attention!] Chrome will warn you about malware-infected extensions

As browser functions improve and become more diverse, they are becoming a small software ecosystem in themselves. As a result, browsers are increasingly becoming a target for attacks. Browser extensions are popular because they add features or tools, but they are also an easy way to load spyware and other things onto your computer.

Google's latest Chrome security measures aim to make it easier to spot potentially malicious extensions. According to the Chrome Developer Blog, three new inspection features are available starting with Chrome version 117.

This allows Chrome to detect when an installed extension is no longer in the Chrome Web Store, whether (1) the extension was removed from the Chrome Web Store by the developer, (2) it was removed manually for violating Google's extension policy ( 3) Check and notify whether it is classified as malware. Additionally, users can manually review already installed extensions through notifications in the ‘Privacy and Security’ settings menu.

[AI] Is something like this possible? Spreading AI-based work automation

[IT Donga Reporter Kim Young-woo] It is said that the '4-day work week' work system is spreading mainly in developed countries. In the case of Microsoft's Japanese branch, there is also news that productivity has improved by 40% since the introduction of the four-day workweek system. In Korea, companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK Telecom, and Kakao Games have introduced and piloted the four-day workweek system in some sectors.

One of the reasons why the four-day workweek system received serious attention was the COVID-19 pandemic that hit the world around 2021. Through this, the digitalization of the work environment, where people can work without coming to the workplace, has progressed rapidly. And as the pain of the COVID-19 pandemic has been great, awareness of the importance of so-called 'work-life balance', which pursues not only work but also life balance, has also spread.

In addition, another thing that cannot be left out is the spread of artificial intelligence (AI)-based automation technology. At one time, AI was perceived as a fantasy technology that could only be experienced in the distant future. It was like that in 2016 when Google's 'AlphaGo' won a Go match against 9-dan Lee Sedol.

[Issue] “Korea ranks lowest in the world in online security awareness”

NordVPN ranked last out of 175 countries in national security awareness test

NordVPN announced ‘Personal Information Security Awareness Test Results by Country’. According to these statistics, Korea ranked lowest in the world in terms of online security awareness and personal information protection awareness.

In this survey, which was conducted on 26,174 people from 175 countries, Korean citizens only scored 46 points out of 100. This is far below the global average of 61 points and is the lowest score among 175 countries.

According to NordVPN, Koreans especially lack knowledge about protecting their digital privacy using online security programs and how to use home Wi-Fi safely.

In the survey, only 2% of respondents were well aware of the importance and methods of online security in Korea, while the proportion of respondents with little knowledge of security reached 6%.

Approximately 50% of respondents in Korea were aware that there was a risk of personal information being leaked or various malware infections when using the Internet, but only 36% of respondents took practical measures, such as using security programs to prevent this, which was insufficient to ensure security. showed a lack of practical action.

Cho Seong-woo, Korea branch manager of NordVPN, said, “As the online area becomes wider and more diverse, security becomes more complex, making it difficult for individuals to respond to security.” He added, “For a broad and easy response, we recommend using a reliable security program. “Making it a daily routine is more important than anything else,” he said.

Meanwhile, in this survey, the countries with the best Internet privacy protection and cybersecurity awareness were Poland and Singapore, each scoring 64 points.

Germany and the United States followed with 63 points, and the UK, Austria, and Portugal also ranked high with 62 points.

[AI] Expectations for Gen AI are at their peak… Gartner, “Achieving innovative results within 5 years”

Generative AI received attention when OpenAI introduced Chat GPT at the end of last year, and expectations for it have reached their peak, predicting that it will produce innovative results across the economy and industry within the next five years.

Gartner announced this in its ‘2023 Emerging Technology Hype Cycle’ report. The Emerging Technology Hype Cycle is one of Gartner's representative reports that derives key insights from over 2,000 technology and application frameworks and presents must-know emerging technologies and technology implementation prospects.

In this report, Gartner specifically pointed out that expectations for generative artificial intelligence (AI) have reached their peak.

In the report, Gartner evaluated generative AI as 'Stage 2 (Peak of Inflated Expectations)', which means the state where expectations have reached the peak among the five stages of the hype cycle, and predicted that it will produce innovative real results within two to five years.

In addition to generative AI, Gartner. Presenting AI simulation, causal AI, federated ML, graph data science, neuro-symbolic AI, and reinforcement learning as emergent AI, he said, “These technologies can improve digital customer experience, make better business decisions, and build sustainable competitive advantage.” “It is predicted that adoption will be rapid, providing high potential for .”

Developer experience refers to all interactions with the tools, platforms, and processes used by developers to develop and provide software (SW) products and services. This is a factor that determines the achievement of a company's digital initiatives.

AI-enhanced SW engineering, API-centric SaaS, GitOps, internal developer portal, and open source program office are new technologies related to developer experience that can help attract and retain top talent, improve team morale, and improve work motivation. .

Cloud computing, which has become a technological innovation platform for the next 10 years, is expected to evolve into a major driver and universal platform for business innovation, becoming more distributed and focused on vertical industries.

Gartner advised that the value of cloud investments should be maximized through new technologies such as augmented finops, cloud development environment, cloud sustainability, cloud native, cloud out-to-edge, industrial cloud platform, and web assembly.

[IOS] Blog | Still don’t know? 6 iPhone features you should try now

Apple changes the iPhone user experience (UX) by releasing a new version of iOS every fall, but not all users use the new features well. Of course, power users will take advantage of the new features, but most users may not have time to get used to the changes. Here we introduce six iPhone features that many users have forgotten or have never used.

Improved application management

In the early days of the iPhone, (the user's) apps were spread across multiple pages on the home screen, so you had to swipe through each page to find the app. As a result, app search became very complicated, and many users became accustomed to using only a few apps. At this time, Apple introduced ‘Apps Library’, which automatically curates apps by category. If you're one of the millions of people who haven't yet taken advantage of this feature, here's what you need to know:

make it sound better

The iPhone has some tools that the person on the other end of the call will love. This tool to improve call quality when calling in a noisy place is called 'Voice Isolation'. When receiving or making a FaceTime call in a noisy place, swipe down on the screen, tap 'Microphone Mode', and then select Voice Isolation. Enabling this feature will cause your iPhone to suppress background sounds and make your voice louder.

Undo with three fingers

Once upon a time... there was a feature that allowed you to shake to undo if you entered incorrect information. Then, in iOS 13, Apple added a feature that allows you to undo what you just wrote by swiping with three fingers.

Using the Secret Button

The iPhone has a secret button. This feature got a lot of attention when it launched in 2020, but if you hadn't heard of it then, you likely won't use it now. This function is as follows:

Back Tap is an accessibility setting supported starting from the iPhone Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap, then tap 'Double Tap' or 'Triple Tap' and select an action (e.g. open camera, take screenshot, turn flashlight off/on, etc.). Once you set it up, you can do whatever you want without looking at your iPhone.

Put a call on hold

Among the iPhone's call management features, you may already be using the mute function, but you may not yet be aware of the call hold function. If you press and hold the mute button for a few seconds during a call, it will be put on hold. In this mode, the call remains connected, but neither party can hear the other person until you unmute.

abbreviation

There are many people who do not use shortcuts. This is because the language used to create shortcuts is a bit difficult to understand. After all, using shortcuts is useful to many iPhone users, so it's worth investing in learning them. The official shortcut guide provided by Apple can be found here ( “How to Use iPhone Shortcuts for Beginners” ). Please take a look.

Deep Brain AI, a company that has been producing AI Human (artificial intelligence human), announced on the 21st that it has launched the 'AI Interpreter' service that provides real-time interpretation. This service is based on 'AI Human' technology, where an artificial intelligence with a human face provides interpretation within 1 to 2 seconds.

Deep Brain AI explained that the 'AI Interpreter' service detects the language the user speaks and provides a virtual human interpretation service in the form of a real-time conversation. It is said to have been completed by encompassing the latest artificial intelligence technologies, including a real-time speech synthesis solution based on deep learning (deep learning through example data), a voice recognition solution, and a solution linking ChatGPT, an interactive generation artificial intelligence.

Through a voice recognition solution, 'AI Interpreter' accurately recognizes the user's phonetic characteristics, such as stress, tone, and intonation, as well as the type of language used, and converts this into text. Afterwards, the interpreter goes through a process of translating into the other person's language and then speaks through a virtual human. Deep Brain AI explained that it has achieved a fast interpretation speed of 1 to 2 seconds by significantly increasing the data processing speed of its self-developed real-time speech synthesis solution.

Se-young Jang, CEO of Deep Brain AI, said, “We have completed the patent application for the core AI interpreter service and will now begin commercialization.” He added, “We will expand the languages provided, starting with Korean, English, and Chinese, and collaborate with domestic financial institutions to provide branch visits.” “We plan to provide interpretation services to foreigners,” he said.
