Coinbase has fixed a confusing bug in its account activity logs that caused users to think their credentials were compromised. As BleepingComputer first reported earlier this month, Coinbase had mistakenly labeled failed login attempts with incorrect passwords as two-factor authentication failues in the Account Activity logs.

These entries imply that a valid username and password were entered, but the log in was blocked by 2-factor authentication, such as entering the wrong one-time passcode from…

In this season of seemingly constant disaster that we find ourselves within, there is a growing chorus of people calling for the dismantling of FEMA and calling for the placement of blame for response and recovery challenges to be directed at state and local emergency management agencies.

This voice-changing app uses AI to transform your voice in real-time on various platforms, including Discord, Zoom, and popular games. But is Voice AI safe to use? Many feel that the app’s questionable quality, deceptive marketing, and complex refund process make it feel scammy. Other criticisms come from a lack of proper documentation on Voice AI’s “Live Mode” and MetaModel Training. Many users aren’t aware of how demanding AI can be on GPUs, and Voice AI doesn’t do a great job of clarifying that, or how its MetaModel Training works. The unusually high GPU usage, even after closing the app,…
