[1] Virtual meetings continue to attract cyberattackers who use the platforms to distribute ransomware, including GIF-based account takeover attacks. Earlier this week, Zoom agreed to pay $85 million to users who have been victims of zoom bombing.
The web continues to be a vulnerable space for cyberattackers and virtual meetings' evolving security, which became a need accelerated by the pandemic, has been an easy target. Many enterprises initially resisted migrating off their legacy teleconferencing systems, as slow and intuitive as they were, given the security risk for Zoom and other platforms. 
Remote Browser Isolation's growth over the last two years is in response to the needs organizations have to bring a more zero-trust security-based approach to all web sessions, regardless of where they are located. >> Read more.
[2] Earlier this week, Arm debuted several new products for its internet of things (IoT) portfolio, including what it says is its highest-performing Cortex-M microcontroller yet. The new updates span Arm's Total Solutions for IoT roadmap and target applications such as cloud-native edge devices and voice recognition. Overall, Arm's goal is to support the IoT ecosystem, which ranges from sensors to industrial applications.
"The IoT runs on Arm and we have a responsibility to create greater opportunities for IoT innovation and scale by continually raising the bar on performance, simplified development and software reuse for our ecosystem," said Mohamed Awad, vice president of IoT and embedded technology at Arm.
All of the company's new tech solutions are immediately available for licensing and can be accessed in the cloud. As part of Arm's roadmap, the company is also working on Total Solutions for vision, object recognition and smart sensor fusion. The first one will be addressed by Cortex-A53, while the latter two will leverage Cortex-M processors. >> Read more.
[3] Myinterview — an Israel-based company that aims to enable hiring managers to leverage video for pre-screening candidates at scale — says it has developed a platform that captures, plays and interprets videos generated from candidates who respond to pre-determined questions.
The company was cofounded in 2016 by Benjamin Gillman and Guy Abelsohn who believe the traditional CV is quickly becoming obsolete. The company uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models to ensure fast and effective hiring processes for HR teams across the enterprise and mass market.
Gillman told VentureBeat that Myinterview has helped employers to save up to 70% of their time hiring by providing them with the insights they need to hire the best fit for their open roles. He noted that Myinterview's video interview platform allows employers and jobseekers to meet much sooner in the hiring funnel. >> Read more.

Technologists proclaiming that AI will make various professions obsolete is like if the inventor of the typewriter had proclaimed that it will make writers and journalists obsolete, failing to recognize that professional expertise is more than the externally visible activity.

Yes, it's true. My dad did installed a key logger on my computer when I was a kid to spy on my AIM chats with friends. I caught him in his tracks and that was my start into pursuing engineering and finding my passion in cybersecurity. #hacker #infosec @billcom https://t.co/GwcZAjEeAk
On This Day 📆
On this day in tech history, April 29, 1928, Laszlo Belady was born. Belady is credited as the creator of the Belady algorithm, which has been used for enhancing computer performance.  The 94-year-old, renowned software engineer has been the recipient of several notable awards, such as the J.D. Warnier Prize for Excellence in Information, as well as an IEEE fellowship.
The Belady algorithm is a memory caching algorithm that is primarily experienced when, as Wikipedia states, "increasing the number of page frames results in an increase in the number of page faults for certain memory access patterns."
