Today, there are new opportunities for growth using the principles of distribution.

Parked under the Ministry of Defence (Mindef), SID is the country’s external intelligence agency responsible for safeguarding the nation against external threats. It provides intelligence and assessments to local government agencies, as well as analyses global developments that may affect Singapore’s security and national interests. These include transnational threats such as cybersecurity and terrorism, geopolitics, and foreign relations, according to a statement released Monday by Mindef. SID also communicates with foreign intelligence and security agencies, sharing information and insights on countering transnational threats....

Often helmed by elderly stall owners who were less digitally inclined, hawker centres had been slow to adopt online platforms. This left them unable to tap food delivery services amidst several lockdowns in the country amidst the pandemic. Government agencies Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) and National Environment Agency (NEA) are looking to change this with plans to offer support aimed at hawkers, including creating a set of best practices and a digital support group, as well as running a pilot to tap a centralised ordering platform....

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said the documents detailed methodologies for incorporating the FEAT principles–of Fairness, Ethics, Accountability, and Transparency–into the use of AI within the financial services sector. According to MAS, the whitepapers provide a FEAT checklist to guide financial institutions in their AI and data analytics software development lifecycles as well as an enhanced fairness assessment methodology to define the objectives of their AI and data analytics systems and identify potential bias....

OT systems traditionally were designed as standalone infrastructures and not connected to external networks or the internet. The need for better efficiencies and functionalities, however, had driven the convergence of IT and OT systems. Remote monitoring and data sharing for insights, for instance, brought about more efficiencies, but these also came at a cost as they widened the attack surface, said David Koh, Singapore’s cybersecurity commissioner and chief executive of Cyber Security Agency (CSA)....

That can be especially true of smaller businesses, particularly if they lack the money to tempt developers who might otherwise end up going to big technology companies. But what’s also true is that not every developer wants to work for a giant, faceless corporation. And in any case, every software developer has to begin designing code somewhere, whether at a mid-size tech company or their old college roommate’s startup, which means that smaller businesses are often a route into the industry for many developers just starting out....

Internationally recognized as a part of Azerbaijan, until recently the majority of the territory was governed mostly by ethnic Armenians. In the first Nagorno-Karabakh war that began at the end of the 1980s and lasted until 1994, Armenia managed to take hold of the region and most of those surrounding it. In the years that followed, with a ceasefire agreement in place, there were occasional flare-ups between the two sides....

In dollar terms, that’s AU$21 billion of the total AU$34 billion that was owing to the ATO by the end financial year 2020. However, founders of a New Zealand-based software firm, James and Claire Fuller, have developed a platform called Hnry to help sole traders automatically calculate, deduct, and pay their income tax, goods and services tax, Medicare, and student loan, once they receive a payment. The business was established in 2017, before it launched in Australia in 2020....

The Xperia 1 IV is very recognisable, with a distinctive tall and thin form factor to accommodate the 21:9 screen. The handset is also quite narrow, making it easy for those with even quite small hands to grasp it. Using this handset one-handed is a challenge, though. The phone measures 71mm wide and 165mm tall, and you need large hands to reach from the top to the bottom of the screen with a thumb....

Or, at least, that’s the impression it’s wanted to project. The others charge for bags? Southwest doesn’t. The others have assigned seating? Ah, that takes too long to sort out. So Southwest lets passengers on thirty at a time and allows them to pick the best available seat for them. Oddly, this means planes should turn around more quickly, too, a highly profitable maneuver. Still, it’s a fine, successful and rather loved airline....

I too am interested in the most reliable SSD - I tried to figure out who makes the best hard drives 5 years ago (Maxtor was clearly the worst) - but before going there I’d like to poll ZDNet readers. This simple poll designed to give an (unscientific) handle on infant mortality for consumer SSDs. If the results are interesting I plan to go deeper. Poll requires Javascript and you can only vote once per IP address....

SynAck is in the process of rebranding itself as the El_Cometa ransomware gang, and a member of the old group gave the keys to The Record. Emsisoft’s Michael Gillespie confirmed the veracity of the decryption keys and said they are working on their own decryption utility that they believe will be “safer and easier to use” because there are concerns that SynAck victims may damage their files further using the provided keys....

On March 1, the Cleafy research team said TeaBot now targets over 400 applications, pivoting from an earlier focus on “smishing” to more advanced tactics. Smishing attacks are used to compromise mobile handsets via spam text messages containing malicious links. It is often the case that these links – pretending to be from your bank, social media network, or a delivery company, for example – will lead victims to fraudulent websites that request their personal data and account credentials....
