Techcrunch has the story of two men who pretty much single handedly (and almost accidentally) saved the internet. Read about how the Wannacry worm was stopped and kept down for over two years.
Our roundup includes stories about a security flaw in Zoom, apps that bypass permissions to gather user data, Gary Explains passes 100,000 subscribers, using AI to stop mean comments, Windows 1.11 revealed, covert Netflix viewing, and the misogynistic headquarters of a women’s safe space dating app.
