Thousands of customers were unable to browse products and complete transactions due to a significant outage in Walmarts online store. At its height, the outage, which started at approximately 300 p.m. ET and affected both the website and mobile app, received over 3,600 complaints. On social media, users expressed frustration after seeing error messages such as "Were having technical issues, but well be back in a flash." Although Walmart has not formally revealed the reason, analysts surmise that it might have been connected to periodic maintenance of the server. Although some users continued to experience delays in order confirmations, services were largely restored by 645 p.m. ET. The interruption raises fears about widespread technical failures after similar disruptions at Zoom and Spotify. Read More..

Meta Resumes AI Training Using Public Data from European Users.

The proposal to use public data from European users, such as posts, comments, and interactions with Meta AI, to train its AI models has been revived by Meta. The corporation says its strategy complies with GDPR regulations, but it halted this project last year because of EU regulatory worries. EU users will be notified about the new policy and given the option to opt out using a form. Meta guarantees that data and private messages from users younger than 18 will not be used for training. If users are concerned, privacy experts advise them to opt out because it is impossible to erase data once it has been put into large language models LLMs. The action is in line with Google and OpenAIs similar AI training methodologies.

Apple Releases iOS 18.4.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.4.1 to Patch ZeroDay Vulnerabilities

Apple fixed two zeroday vulnerabilities that were being regularly used by hackers with government support by releasing iOS 18.4.1 and macOS Sequoia 15

Apple fixed two zeroday vulnerabilities that were being regularly used by hackers with government support by releasing iOS 18.4.1 and macOS Sequoia 15.4.1. The vulnerabilities in RPAC and CoreAudio enabled hackers to circumvent Pointer Authentication, a crucial security measure that guards against memorybased attacks, and run malicious code across media files. Apple reacted quickly after Googles Threat Analysis Group TAG helped identify these vulnerabilities. Although it is still unknown how many customers were impacted, Apple acknowledged that the attacks were part of highly advanced cyber campaigns that specifically targeted individuals. It is highly recommended that users upgrade their devices right away to reduce security threats and stop future attacks. This report highlights the continuous fight against sophisticated cyberthreats that target wellknown people and institutions. Read More..

Zoom’s neartwohour outage was caused by a miscommunication between its domain registrar, MarkMonitor, and GoDaddy Registry, which mistakenly blocked the zoom.us domain. The disruption lasted from 255 PM ET to 412 PM ET, affecting Zoom Meetings, Zoom Phone, Zoom Contact Centre, and the Zoom website. Zoom confirmed that the issue was not due to a security failure or cyberattack but rather a registry error. The company worked with MarkMonitor and GoDaddy to quickly resolve the problem and restore services. We advised some users to flush their DNS caches to regain access. The outage occurred just hours after Spotify’s service disruption, though the two incidents are unrelated. Read More..

WTO Cuts 2025 Global Trade Forecast, Predicts 0.2% Decline Amid U.S.China Tariffs

Instead of predicting 2.7% growth in global commercial trade in 2025, the World Trade Organisation WTO now predicts a 0.2% fall. With North American e

Instead of predicting 2.7% growth in global commercial trade in 2025, the World Trade Organisation WTO now predicts a 0.2% fall. With North American exports predicted to decline by 12.6%, the U.S.China trade war is mostly to blame for the decline. The WTO cautions that reintroducing reciprocal tariffs might result in a 1.5% decline in global trade, which would further affect the least developed nations. It is anticipated that the disruption in U.S.China trade will cause Chinese exports to shift to other areas, thereby intensifying rivalry. In 2024, India accounted for 1.8% of global merchandise exports and 2.8% of imports. Although there are still dangers, the WTO predicts a 2.5% trade rebound in 2026. Read More..
