MORE than 50,000 Call of Duty players have been permanently banned from the game for cheating in the Warzone mode.
It’s a staggering crackdown given that Warzone only released to the public on March 10 – less than a month ago.
Month: April 2020
Over 500,000 Zoom accounts sold on hacker forums, the dark web
Over 500,000 Zoom accounts are being sold on the dark web and hacker forums for less than a penny each, and in some cases, given away for free.
These credentials are gathered through credential stuffing attacks where threat actors attempt to login to Zoom using accounts leaked in older data breaches. The successful logins are then compiled into lists that are sold to other hackers.
Some of these Zoom accounts are offered for free on hacker forums so that hackers can use them in zoom-bombing pranks and malicious activities. Others are sold for less than a penny each.
Cybersecurity intelligence firm Cyble told BleepingComputer that around April 1st, 2020, they began to see free Zoom accounts being posted on hacker forums to gain an increased reputation in the hacker community.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Durability Test – Fake Folding Glass?!
Samsung has pitched this phone as a folding glass phone that ‘bends the laws of physics’ But… is folding glass actually possible? The only way to find out is with a scratch test. Overall I’m impressed with the Galaxy Z Flip. If they change the name of their screen material to something besides glass I would give it a 10/10 as far as folding phones go. The only physical characteristic this screen material shares with actual glass is the clarity. And I dont think thats fair to consumers. At all. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Coronavirus: RaspberryPi powered ventilator to be tested in Colombia
A team in Colombia is to test a ventilator made with a Raspberry Pi computer and easy-to-source parts.
The design and computer code were posted online in March by a man in California, who had no prior experience at creating medical equipment.
Marco Mascorro, a robotics engineer, said he built the ventilator because knew the machines were in high demand to treat Covid-19.
His post prompted a flood of feedback from healthcare workers.
He has used the advice to make improvements.
“I am a true believer that technology can solve a lot of the problems we have right now specifically in this pandemic,” he told the BBC.

Introducing the Arduino Portenta H7
Designed for demanding industrial applications, AI edge processing, and robotics, the Arduino Portenta family is a new standard for open high-density interconnect to support advanced peripherals.
The first member of the family is the Portenta H7 module – a dual-core Arm Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M4 operating at 480MHz and 240MHz, respectively, with an operational temperature range of -40 to 85°C. The Portenta H7 is capable of running Arduino code, Python, and JavaScript, making it accessible to an even broader audience of developers.
Twitch Streamer Spectacularly Fries His PC
So, I’m sure that any of us who has attempted to build a PC (hopefully with some success) has at least one horror story they could tell. Admittedly, while the process isn’t difficult, there are a number of ways you can get it wrong. In a live broadcast on Twitch, however, one user found a way to get it wrong in a rather explosive style.
While live-streaming a PC building video, when user ‘fastaction99‘ pressed the on button to see if it would POST, he got a lot more than he bargained for!
