Docker Hub could be containing thousands of valuable secrets, and they're all in plain view

Image
There are “thousands” of secrets exposed on Docker Hub, ranging from harmless API keys to potentially harmful information. This is according to researchers from the Cybernews Research team , who recently analyzed 10,178 Docker Hub images. In those, they found almost 5,500 container images (54%) holding secrets that could be deemed sensitive information. From those 5,500 container images, the researchers pulled exactly 191,529 secrets. Many were duplicates which, when removed, left the researchers with exactly 48,481 unique secrets.  Reader Offer: $50 Amazon gift card with demo Perimeter 81's Malware Protection intercepts threats at the delivery stage to prevent known malware, polymorphic attacks, zero-day exploits, and more.

Malicious web links are dominating emails all over the world, being used to deliver harmful malware in order to wreak havoc or extort money. A new research paper by cybersecurity experts Hornetsecurity found that besides malicious web links, hackers are still super interested in phishing. With an increase of almost 4% year-on-year (39.6% - 43.3%), it is still the most common email attack technique.  Hackers are also constantly evolving their tactics by changing email formats and attachments to best sneak around spam filters.

JBL could soon launch Sonos-like multi-room speakers as Harman acquires Roon

Image
Sorry Sonos, but I'm pretty sure JBL speakers are about to get an audiophile-grade software update – and maybe even a new swathe of Sonos-like, multi-room audio products piggybacking on your home's wi-fi network.  Think of JBL speakers and you probably thing of compact, rugged, barrel-like Bluetooth options ready to toss in your road-trip bag and thus add music to your campfire cooking. Yes, they're some of the best Bluetooth speakers on the market (see the JBL Flip 6 and JBL Charge 5 at third and sixth spot respectively) but what the vast majority of JBL speakers are not, is Roon ready. That is because these Bluetooth-only speaker boxes cannot jump on your home's wi-fi network in the way some of the best wireless speakers can – the way that the Sonos Era 100 (top spot) or Sonos Roam (fifth) can, for example.  But I think that is all about to change. Why? Because today, (as reported by Business Wire ) JBL's parent company, Harman, announced the acquisition

Spotify could soon let you turn off personalized recommendations

While we're patiently waiting for Spotify Wrapped 2023 to drop, it seems as though a tweak is on the way in terms of how recommendations are served up: Spotify would appear to be testing the option to turn off personalized recommendations. This comes from code spotted in a beta version of one of Spotify's apps, by a MacRumors source . At the moment though, we don't know much else about this potential new feature or how it might work if it rolls out to users. Personalized recommendations are of course based on listening history and habits, so presumably most people will want to keep them switched on to see more music that matches their tastes. Without the personalization, presumably the recommendations would be what's trending and popular, or picked out by Spotify staff. It does seem that this will be an optional extra for users, so personalized recommendations are by no means going away. It might also be useful if someone else (like your kids) are using your Spotif
