| PC World - 4 Jul (PC World)Crytocurrency hasn’t just ruined the hunt for an affordable graphics card, or the conversation at that little bar you used to like. Now it’s come for everyone’s favorite alt browser, too. Dozens of fake cryptocurrency wallet extensions—indistinguishable from their nominally legitimate counterparts—are flooding Firefox’s add-on repository. It’s a problem.
Koi Security researchers report that a coordinated campaign has been going on since April of this year, posting fake versions of popular crypto wallets like Coinbase, Ethereum, and MetaMask, making copies of the open-source wallet programs and inserting malicious code. The fake versions of the wallets will steal user data—primarily the access to real cryptocurrency—allowing the allegedly Russian-speaking hackers to drain the legitimate crypto accounts.
Copied names and logos, fake reviews, and the usual spammy nonsense are being used to impersonate the real versions of the cryptocurrency wallets. Though Mozilla has automated systems in place to prevent malicious extensions from getting into the repository, these systems seem to be overwhelmed, with at least 40 fakes making it through (most subsequently removed) as of this week. BleepingComputer was given an official comment on the situation, but it seems fairly boilerplate.
Even well after the crypto and NFT boom has died down, there are still hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of value tied up in Bitcoin and its many alternatives. If you need access to these systems, double- and triple-check your sources for software and tools, going directly to the necessary URLs if possible. Once “anonymous” cryptocurrency gets stolen, especially across international borders, it’s all but impossible to recover. Read...Newslink ©2025 to PC World |  |

|  | | PC World - 2 Jul (PC World)NASA will soon stream its live broadcasts on Netflix, Engadget reports. These are the same broadcasts that are also available through NASA+ (formerly NASA TV), and they’ll be available to all users worldwide.
The US space agency will live stream everything, from rocket launches and spacewalks to broadcasts from the International Space Station (ISS). The live broadcasts are expected to appear on Netflix later this summer, but an exact launch date for the streams isn’t yet known.
NASA+ also offers self-produced documentaries, but these don’t appear to be part of the new partnership with Netflix. Read...Newslink ©2025 to PC World |  |
|  | | PC World - 1 Jul (PC World)The 2025 school year may be ending, but students who return in the fall will have a new AI tutor: Google Gemini for Education.
At the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) conference, Google launched its new AI teaching tool.
“Gemini for Education provides default access to our premium AI models, soon with significantly higher limits than what consumers get at no cost, plus enterprise-grade data protection and an admin-managed experience as a core Workspace service — all included in your Workspace for Education plan free of charge,” Google said.
Google is pitching the ability for educators to roll their own “Gems,” or AI experts, which can help students learn new concepts. Google NotebookLM also provides a repository for students to upload documents into and then hear an audio summary, via Audio Overviews. Google recently added Video Overviews, too, which adds a visual element.
Google Gemini for Education will be free, though Google is offering a paid Google Workspace with Gemini add-on for $18 per user per month, though with some educational discounts. That program includes the ability to include some 8-second video clips using the Veo 3 text-to-video generator, which will help teachers up their meme game to connect with kids.
Of course, there’s a bit of irony in all of this, since teachers are mortally afraid of AI’s ability to help their students cheat — even as they don’t want to deny them the ability to use it, either. It’s a big moral quandary, especially when it comes to testing. The upshot last year was that teachers might use AI to teach, but the safest way to avoid AI cheating was to go back to pen and paper at test time.
Gemini will get its own tab in Google Classroom.Google
Google, meanwhile, seems to want to make AI as ubiquitous as a laptop. We’ll see what happens in the fall. Read...Newslink ©2025 to PC World |  |
