☆ The personal cybersecurity concierge is a new perk, and need, among the wealthy

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting wealthy individuals, making cybersecurity concierges a new must-have for the rich and their families, including executives. While companies are spending heavily on cybersecurity, personal and home devices are generally less protected, making them easier to crack. And despite their sizeable assets and growing threat of cyberattacks, family offices and wealthy families don't think of themselves as targets because hackings are rarely publicized. JPMorgan Private Bank offers cybersecurity help to its ultra-high net worth clients, along with lifestyle and travel services. "I think one of the misconceptions is that — particularly for family offices — 'we're small and nobody notices us.'

The Olympics will challenge wireless providers as 15 million people seek internet access at once. To meet that expectation, telecommunications companies must bolster Paris' 5G network, the technology system that powers users' mobile-internet access. Harnessing private 5G infrastructureOrange is installing cellphone antennas on boats and extension units in sporting venues to bolster its 5G network. It uses 5G's network-splicing capabilities to reserve a part of the public 5G network for private use.

During general elections in 2022, most young Kenyans didn’t even register to vote. It is clear Mr. Ruto senses his tenure is in danger; on Thursday he sacked all but one of his cabinet secretaries, bowing to public pressure. Mr. Ruto is a protégé of Daniel arap Moi, the dictator who ruled Kenya between 1978 and 2002. From the beginning of his political career, Mr. Ruto appeared to share his mentor’s disregard for democracy.

When Meta introduced a subscription option last year that would allow users in the European Union to pay for an advertising-free experience of Instagram and Facebook, it was meant to fix regulatory problems the company faced in the region. Meta introduced the subscription last year as a way to address regulatory and legal scrutiny of its advertising-based business model. Meta argued that by offering a subscription, users had a fair alternative. But regulators on Monday said the system was no choice at all, forcing users to pay for privacy. The authorities said Meta’s policy violated the Digital Markets Act, a new law aimed at reining in the power of the biggest tech companies.

It's a big enough issue that federal agencies like the FBI and Federal Trade Commission have issued warnings about job scams. Then, they may ask you to send them money or personal information, according to Amanda Augustine, a career expert at TopResume. Some companies make executive-level job openings confidential to high-profile applicants at first, but they will begin disclosing more details about the role as the interview process gets underway. For job openings that have no reason being kept so tightly under wraps, a formal job description should be handed over upon request, Augustine explains. "If there's absolutely no digital trail about this company, or it's really, really sparse when you're running some Google searches, I would be concerned."
