Android 13 has seemingly started rolling out to the Sony Xperia 10 III. This smartphone was launched back in 2021, and its time for the update came after some of Sony’s newer smartphones.
Android 13 starts rolling out to the Sony Xperia 10 III
The update with the software version 62.2.A.0.367 is rolling out to the global dual SIM variant of the phone. Based on the report, it is currently rolling out to a number of European and Asian countries.
With this update, you’ll be getting all the major features Android 13 brings, with some additions from Sony. Those of you who used Sony’s phones in the last couple of years know very well that Sony’s UI is rather light. Sony likes to keep it close to stock, which is a good thing, for the most part.
Now, this update will deliver you the benefits of Android 13, and will also boost the phone’s security. The update includes the Android security patch for January 2023. It’s not the latest one available, but still, it’s a quite recent one.
Needless to say, this update is rolling out OTA (Over-The-Air), and your phone will let you know once it’s available. You can also manually check for it via the phone’s settings, of course.
This phone launched in 2021, and originally shipped with Android 11
The Sony Xperia 10 III includes a 6-inch fullHD+ OLED display, while it is fueled by the Snapdragon 690 SoC. This phone originally launched with Android 11 back in 2021.
The device has three cameras on the back, and a 4,500mAh battery. It supports 21W charging, while it is water and dust resistant. It also has a side-facing fingerprint scanner, and more.
Do note that this will likely be the last major Android update for the device. Chances are the phone won’t get Android 14 after it launches.
LED technology is greatly admired around the globe, and its value can be expressed by the fact that its inventor has awarded a noble prize in physics in the year 2014. Now it is widely used in televisions, phones, panels, blue-ray players, and many other gadgets. There isn’t any controversy about the usefulness of LED screens, especially in the advertising field. Almost every business prefers video ads and promotions, and their importance is out of the question in large exhibitions and product launching events.
A more convenient option for LED screens is that they can be built in custom designs compatible with the size and shape of the installation site. These screens catch the audience’s attention with their animated and colorful graphics and video content.
Customized displays are created to meet the client’s requirements and have lots of benefits. Let’s look at their benefits.
Multiple designs and sizes
If you want a custom LED display, there are lots of options to avail. These can be designed in geometrical shapes, alphabets designs, and curve shapes. These can be installed on round and rectangle pillars, curved corners, shop fronts, and also in hanging styles. Whatever your requirement is, it’ll be fulfilled.
Long-lasting
These screens have a long performing life span from 50000 to 100000 hrs. There aren’t any threats of burning out or damage due to long use. These can work 24/7 continuously. Outdoor LED units have high weather resistance and work excellently.
Time-saving
The installation of outdoor and indoor screens is very easy and quick. These screens do not require much maintenance and allow display content to be easily managed. These are mostly controlled and managed through cloud-based CMS, which allows quickly changing the content and scheduling multiple contents to display at multiple times. In this way, it saves lots of time in managing and running promotional content.
Cost-effective
These screens are lightweight, which thusly diminishes continuous maintenance. Moreover, LEDs contain no hazardous gases or glass tubes that can cause leakage and require maintenance for good performance. All this greatly reduces the cost and makes it highly convenient.
Unbelievable brightness
LED screens have high brightness and remain clearly visible 24/7. It enhances the content reach and engages more audience, and this results in an increase in your brand recognition and also improves sales.
Modernity
LED screens are the latest concept with advanced technology and are the first choice of educated individuals who have current preferences and are accustomed to perusing computerized media. On the off chance that your business focuses on this populace, specific LED screens will have a critical effect.
Eco friendly
These screens are eco-friendly because they don’t contain harmful gases like argon or mercury and can easily be recycled. Furthermore, as compared to other display gadgets are the most harmless to the ecosystem. Low energy utilization decreases the ecological effect of any undertaking. What’s more, the long performance life of the gadget thusly assists with saving materials, looking after expenses, and potential fixes. During activity time, LEDs produce light, and little intensity yet emanate no infrared or UV radiation.
Conclusion
In advertising, field LEDs have played a significant role, and their customization has made it more beneficial. These are environmentally friendly and highly cost-effective for running your advertisement campaigns, and their role in branding and business promotion is noticeable.
Last fall, images appeared on the Google Play Store of a planned redesign of the Fitbit app on Android. These screenshots showed the app taking on a Material You theme, keeping with the current trend of Google apps adopting its design language of choice. However, it appears that now those screenshots have been removed, calling into question whether the redesign has been scrapped.
The app redesign included a bottom bar shaped as an arc, which was highly distinct and undoubtedly original. This is in contrast to the solid bottom bar we see on the app now. Additionally, other sections were rearranged within the app, such as the “Today” tab which was moved from the first tab to the center of the screen, the word “Community” moved to the far right, and the word “Discover” moved to the far left.
The currently active tab of the app would also have its icon filled in, but it did’t look like plans were made to fit the fourth “Premium” tab that appears in the current app as pretty much just a placeholder to call out the features. However, as noted by 9to5Google, those screenshots are now gone from the listing and replaced with ones that match the design the app has now.
Current Screenshots vs Redesigned Screenshots (via 9to5Google)
The removal of these images from the Play Store listing prompts speculation that this redesign may not happen after all, or at the least has been delayed, perhaps so that its launch coincides with that of a new generation of Fitbit smartwatches. Still, I was looking forward to a new look in the Fitbit app, as it is starting to feel a bit dated and out of place with the rest of the Google apps.
Hopefully, the lack of updates to the Fitbit app are not due to Google’s recent layoffs as the company also struggles with antitrust lawsuits across the U.S. brought on by the Justice Department. Let’s hope the search giant’s recent issues does not affect its ability to continue innovating and bringing us helpful features.
The US, in partnership with the UK, named individuals tied to TrickBot and shamed them with a sanction.
In a collaborative partnership, officials in the United States and the United Kingdom unmasked and imposed financial sanctions against seven members of the notorious Russian gang TrickBot (alias “TrickLoader”), a mainstream banking Trojan turned malware-as-a-service (MaaS) platform for other criminals.
Apart from taking over bank accounts, TrickBot has been instrumental in spreading ransomware across multiple healthcare organizations, and critical infrastructure in the US, especially during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence Brian E. Nelson said in a statement:
“Cybercriminals, particularly those based in Russia, seek to attack critical infrastructure, target US businesses, and exploit the international financial system. The United States is taking action today in partnership with the United Kingdom because international cooperation is key to addressing Russian cybercrime.”
According to the sanctions notice, in one attack the group deployed ransomware against three Minnesota medical facilities, disrupting their computer networks and telephones, and causing ambulances to divert.
“Members of the TrickBot Group publicly gloated over the ease of targeting the medical facilities and the speed with which the ransoms were paid to the group.”
TrickBot debuted in 2016 after succeeding Dyreza (alias “Dyre”), another banking Trojan also operated by cybercriminals based in Moscow, Russia. TrickBot has since evolved into “a highly modular malware suite that provides the TrickBot Group with the ability to conduct a variety of illegal cyber activities, including ransomware attacks”. Among the ransomware strains TrickBot collaborated with was Ryuk, which was then succeeded by or identified as related to the now-defunct Conti ransomware.
Sanctions
Coinciding with the US sanction notice, the UK’s Office of Financial Sanction Implementation (OFSI) released a guidance on ransomware and sanctions. Sanctioning generally has a two-fold effect. On the one hand, people (usually victim organizations of a ransomware attack) are prohibited from making ransom payments to a sanctioned entity (usually the organized ransomware gang behind the attack) as doing so is “a serious criminal offence” with imprisonment and fines. On the other hand, sanctioned entities have their assets frozen and are subjected to a travel ban.
Indeed, sanctions are powerful tools to deter and disrupt behaviors that would otherwise undermine national security. It has as much effect in the digital ecosystem as it has in the real world, yet it continues to be challenged by current technological innovations, such as digital currencies, alternative payment methods, and other ways to keep monetary transactions under the radar. It may not look like it, but the US Treasury asserts “the ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish but to bring about a positive change in behavior”.
How to avoid ransomware
There is no doubt hospitals remain under a bullseye, and attackers can strike at any time. Thankfully, there are ways organizations can help reduce their risk of suffering from a ransomware attack.
Have an incident response (IR) plan. Organizations should accept the fact that a cyberattack is likely to affect them at some point, whether they’re the direct victim or part of a supply chain. An IR plan can direct your responders on what to do in the event of a cybersecurity attack. This should include restoring from backups, client outreach, and reporting to law enforcement among others.
Educate your staff. Awareness goes a long way, and everyone in the company has a responsibility to keep the organization’s network safe. Staff should be taught social engineering tactics and red flags of a system attack, so they can alert the right personnel quickly should an attack occur.
Patch as soon as you can. Many threat actors get into networks by exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities. Have a patching plan in place to ensure that your organization’s network is protected against the latest and most exploited weaknesses.
Backup your files. Backups have saved a lot of organizations after a ransomware attack—provided they work. When you make a plan, ensure you also have provisions for backup testing.

OPPO launched its first global foldable smartphone yesterday, the OPPO Find N2 Flip. For that occasion, OPPo’s President of Overseas Sales and Service, Billy Zhang, discussed foldable phones with Forbes. He basically revealed that OPPO has big plans for foldable smartphones moving forward.
OPPO has big plans for foldable smartphones, and sees them as a pathway for growth
The main takeaway from that interview is that OPPO is investing big into foldables in order to grow. He said that the overall smartphone market decreased in terms of sales last year, but the same cannot be said for foldables.
The foldable smartphone market has seen considerable growth. That goes for both the global market, and OPPO’s home market. OPPO sees a great opportunity in foldable phones, which is why it has been focusing on them for a long time now.
Billy Zhang said the following: “We are confident about the evolution of this product, and the technologies related to foldable phones. That is why, in the future, we will be setting foldable phones as our first priority in product strategy, product investment, sales, and marketing”.
OPPO has been working on foldable smartphones for a long time now
He said that the company worked through six prototype devices, and published over 1,600 patents as part of its 5-year investment plan. He did note that OPPO did most of this behind closed doors.
Many people have the wrong perception. OPPO has been working on foldables as long as Samsung, or close to it, it would seem, but it did not publicize it as much as Samsung did. That’s something Billy Zhang wanted to point out.
The company is taking a different approach than Samsung
OPPO is taking a different approach than Samsung entirely. Not only did it not publicize every step of the way, but it’s also going to market with a clamshell foldable, not a tablet-like foldable.
Why is that? Well, Zhang says that a flip phone “offers a familiar experience to the traditional bar-type phones, while providing the great compactness of a pocket-sized and attractive design. That means there is no learning cost for users to enjoy a brand new experience”.
It seems like OPPO believes this will be an easier transition for people. Still, it’s a shame that OPPO didn’t deliver the Find N2 as well, as we found out it’s a truly great smartphone. Some users in markets outside of China would likely enjoy it quite a bit.
OPPO will have to compete with Apple as well, at one point
In the interview, Forbes did bring up Apple, as the Cupertino giant will, sooner or later, release a foldable as well. Zhang was asked how OPPO plans to deal aka compete with Apple. He said the following: “That’s why all manufacturers should try to innovate. We need to compete against Apple, and Apple holds the majority of the market share in the premium segment. It’s necessary for Android manufacturers to find some differentiation”.
OPPO has already invested big in foldables, and it seems like the company doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Their foldable devices ended up being quite popular in China, so it remains to be seen if OPPO can get some traction in other markets.
Following the legalization of cannabis in many US states and Canada, Twitter has updated its ad policy to allow cannabis ads on its platform in areas where the drug is legal. According to the company’s blog post and Axios, advertisers can now endorse brand preferences and cannabis-related content for CBD, THC, and cannabis-related products and services. This makes Twitter the first social media platform to allow cannabis ads.
“The cannabis space on Twitter is fun and engaging with users Tweeting about their experiences using cannabis—whether medicinally, for wellness, or recreation—as well as recommending brands, products, and retail locations. The conversation also reflects where the cannabis industry is currently heading: legislative/policy reform, business development, and community impact,” says Twitter’s blog post.
Regulations surrounding the cannabis advertisements
While Twitter is now allowing cannabis marketing on its platform in legal areas, there are several strict regulations that advertisers must follow. Firstly, brands must obtain pre-authorization and licenses from the appropriate authorities in their respective jurisdictions before advertising. Secondly, the ads cannot target customers under the age of 21, and they cannot use any characters, sportspersons, celebrities, or images that may appeal to minors, nor include minors or pregnant women in advertisements. Thirdly, Twitter does not allow ads that claim health benefits, make false or misleading claims, or depict someone smoking cannabis.
Additionally, these brands cannot promote or sell cannabis or CBD on the platform unless the ads are for topical, non-ingestible, hemp-derived CBD products that comply with government regulations and have less than 0.3% THC.
Although Twitter says its decision to permit cannabis ads will enable the cannabis industry to grow and expand in a more regulated and controlled environment, this policy update comes at a time when 500 of Twitter’s top advertisers have left since Musk took over the company, leading to a 40% drop in advertising revenue. Therefore, by opening up to cannabis companies, Twitter is hoping to attract a new set of advertisers to its platform.

Apple has released patches for macOS Ventura, iPadOs, and iOS. Among the patched vulnerabilities is a WebKit vulnerability which may have been exploited in the wild.
Most prominent is a vulnerability in WebKit that may have been actively exploited. In December, 2022, we warned our readers about another actively exploited vulnerability in Apple’s WebKit.
The currently patched vulnerability was a type confusion issue that Apple says has been addressed with improved checks.
Type confusion vulnerabilities are programming flaws that happen when a piece of code doesn’t verify the type of object that is passed to it before using it. So let’s say you have a program that expects a number as input, but instead it receives a string (i.e. a sequence of characters). If the program doesn’t properly check that the input is actually a number and tries to perform arithmetic operations on it as if it were a number, it may produce unexpected results which could be abused by an attacker.
Type confusion can allow an attacker to feed function pointers or data into the wrong piece of code. In some cases, this could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable device. So, an attacker would have to trick a victim into visiting a malicious website or open such a page in one of the apps that use WebKit to render their pages.
Mitigation
Updates are available for macOS Ventura, iPhone 8 and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 5th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later.
The updates should all have reached you in your regular update routines, but it doesn’t hurt to check if your device is at the latest update level.
Since the vulnerability we’ll discuss below is already being exploited, it’s important that you update your devices as soon as you can.
There may be one exception to this rule. Reportedly users of Google Photos on iPhone have noticed that the update causes Google Photos to break. These users may want to wait for Apple to fix this and in the meantime be extra careful when clicking links.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database lists publicly disclosed computer security flaws. Its goal is to make it easier to share data across separate vulnerability capabilities (tools, databases, and services). The CVEs patched in these updates are:
CVE-2023-23514: Apple addressed a use after free issue by implementing improved memory management. Use after free is a type of vulnerability that is the result of the incorrect use of dynamic memory during a program’s operation. If, after freeing a memory location, a program does not clear the pointer to that memory, an attacker can use the error to manipulate the program. Referencing memory after it has been freed can cause a program to crash, use unexpected values, or execute code. This vulnerability could have allowed an app to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
CVE-2023-23522: This issue only applies to macOS Ventura. Apple addressed a privacy issue by implementing improved handling of temporary files. An installed app could have observed unprotected user data.
CVE-2023-23529: This is the bug that was reported it might be actively exploited. It can be found in WebKit. WebKit is Apple’s web rendering engine that powers Safari and renders webpages in other apps.
We don’t just report on vulnerabilities—we identify them, and prioritize action.
According to a new report from the reliable leaker Mark Gurman, Apple has delayed the launch of the Mixed Reality AR/VR headset to WWDC 2023 in June.
Apple had originally intended to launch its AR/VR headset at an event in April. However, the launch has now been delayed to the summer. The delay came after extensive product testing, which revealed that there are critical hardware and software issues with the Mixed Reality headset and require resolution before launch.
This is not the first time Apple has delayed the launch of the Mixed Reality headset. The headset was originally scheduled to debut in the mid of 2022. It was, however, rescheduled to January 2023 and later to April 2023. Now, the launch has been postponed yet again to June 2023.
Apple is still working to fix problems with the hand and eye control functions of the AR/VR headset. As previously revealed before, users will be able to control the headset with both eye movements and hand gestures. However, product testing has revealed issues with the feature and will require further development before launch.
Gurman also says that after the headset is shown off at WWDC, Apple will continue to work on it before putting it up for sale later in the year. He cautions that the timing of the launch could change again, but Apple wants to have it available for purchase by the end of 2023 because it is the company’s headline product of the year.
Apple’s AR/VR headset is anticipated to deliver both augmented and virtual reality experiences through the use of displays and transparent lenses. According to previous reports, Apple’s Reality Pro headset will showcase a range of features such as two 8K displays, numerous cameras, and an M1 Pro-like chipset.
