    The Dark Side of the gas line

    Major news organizations are reporting: A hacker group called DarkSide is reportedly behind the cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline that shut down a major oil pipeline over the weekend..

    DarkSide makes ransomware hacking tools, but only largely goes after for-profit companies from English-speaking countries.

    MORE:

    According to Boston-based Cybereason, DarkSide is an organized group of hackers set up along the “ransomware as a service” business model, meaning the DarkSide hackers develop and market ransomware hacking tools, and sell them to other criminals who then carry out attacks. Think of it as the evil twin of a Silicon Valley software start-up.

    Bloomberg first reported that DarkSide may be involved in the attack on Colonial Pipeline….

    But can they just get rid of pit stains? Now coming: A smart shirt to aid your smart ear phones

    The other day the HORROR REPORT and other sources talked about ear phones that can raise volume when it thinks you need it. You can read that here: https://www.horrorreport.com/2021/05/the-headphones-that-can-read-your-mind/

    Now another product is conveniently press releasing itself into the news!

    Nextiles, a National Science Foundation-backed textile company, wants to weave FitBit-like tech into textiles. It’s the latest addition to an evolving list of efforts to revolutionize the clothing we wear..

    That sounds awfully nice to wear at the same time as your ear phones. Imagine a shirt that tells you to get up more and ear phones that raise the volume to inspire such actions!

    Pretty soon your brain will just be able to fully shut own while technology lives your life for you.

    Here is what is being press released.. err… reported: The Brooklyn-based start-up last week launched its patented “smart fabric” — a machine-washable material with built-in circuitry — as a new way to capture biometric data.

    “My whole goal was to make your everyday threads a smart factor in your wearables,” said George Sun, Nextiles’ chief executive and a former executive at the sportswear designer Puma. “Rather than strapping a computer chip to your body, we can sew these circuitries directly into a sleeve, shirt and pants.”..

    If David Letterman was still on TV, he’d be asking can we ‘turn your smart pants into shorts, please?’

  • The headphones that can read your mind!

    The headphones that can read your mind!

    Media is calling it “brain reading head phones.”

    But the technology sure is.. brainreading ish..

    According to the biggest selling points of Enten, the company that created the product: The head phones know when you are listening actively or distracted.. if you become distracted, they boast, the music will increase in volume to regain your attention…

    There are sensors in each ear pad which detect the electrical signals in the brain, so it can send the data back via bluetooth to a smartphone app.

    They can turn your smartphone notifications off too, in order to “minimise distractions” when someone is “in the zone”.

    The brain-computer interface headphones have been developed by American firm Neurable.

    Users will be told when they are in need of a break and what times of the day they seem to be most productive.

    Dr Ramses Alcaide, the company’s founder, said its research shows people only have two to three hours of high productivity in their day.

    He wrote in a blog post: “Enten lets you know how and when that happens so you can maximize your time without overextending your brain.
