In a monumental leap for the world of technology, a pioneering quantum computing chip has shattered performance barriers, paving the way for an era of computing power previously thought to be science fiction. Developed by a collaboration of leading tech companies and research institutions, this quantum computing breakthrough is set to redefine the landscape of computing, enabling unprecedented speeds and capabilities that could revolutionize industries across the board. Key Highlights of the Quantum Computing Breakthrough: Unprecedented Processing Power: Traditional computers use bits to process information, represented as 0s and 1s. Quantum computers, on the other hand, leverage quantum bits or qubits, which can exist in a superposition of both 0 and 1 states simultaneously. This inherent parallelism allows quantum computers to perform complex calculations at speeds that would be inconceivable for classical computers. Massive Quantum Supremacy: The newly developed quantum chip achie
Social networking giant Facebook has been embroiled in the recent Cambridge Analytica data scandal. The company has been slapped with lawsuits and many of the popular brands such as Tesla, Playboy and other have deactivated their respective Facebook accounts.
The company is now taking measures to mend the damage done and is also working on improving its privacy settings. In order to further strengthen the security of its users, Facebook will expand its bug bounty program. The company initially started the program in order to find out the vulnerabilities which enable the hackers to attack the social network. However, it will now incorporate the third party apps that misuse the data of its users.
In an official blog post, Facebook said, “Facebook's bug bounty program will expand so that people can also report to us if they find misuses of data by app developers. We are beginning work on this and will have more details as we finalize the program updates in the coming weeks.
Facebook offers about $100,000 to researchers who find out technical flaws on the websites.
Recently, it was discovered that Facebook tracks its users online and also collect their personal information which even includes the text messages and the call logs. Three users of the Facebook Messenger have filed lawsuits against the company for violating their privacy.
In case you want to prevent Facebook from tracking your online activity then Mozilla Firefox has a solution for you. The company has created a new extension called Facebook Container. The browser extension creates a blue colored browser tab which isolates your Facebook session with other activities on the web. This will make it difficult for Facebook to keep a track of users’ online activities.
