Field service management business ServiceBridge is reportedly at the center of a huge data breach involving 32 million personal files.

According to analysis by security researcher Jeremiah Fowler, the non-password-protected files exposed in the breach were made up of contracts, invoices, and agreements that contained full names, addresses, and partial credit card numbers.

The information was publicly accessible, with no security authorization needed, for an undisclosed amount of time, and there is no official confirmation on who may have accessed it, Digital Trends reported. The files go back 12 years and are linked to multiple industries in Canada, Europe, the U.S., and the U.K. ...

What makes this such a great security camera for your garage and home? For starters, it comes with a high-quality 1080p resolution with HDR support, which means you get clean, crisp images even in poor weather with a recognizable security feed. Secondly, it’s powered by the Chamberlain MyQ app, so you can monitor the feed — whether live or recorded — via the same app you’d use for your smart garage door opener. Not to mention, it’s easy to set up via Bluetooth, installation is a cinch, and all security recordings are stored in the cloud with direct access through the MyQ smart app ...

The new AI-powered Plaud NotePin isn’t making any fancy claims about being a smartphone replacement. Its more modest intention is to simply let you record stuff when you command it to with a button press.

The diminutive device looks like a capsule, and you can wear it as a pin via a clip on your shirt, as a necklace, or on your wrist as a band.

Plaud is pitching the $169 NotePin as a companion for recording interviews, meetings, classroom lectures, or any other conversation you deem worth saving as a digital file. Dive into Digital Trends’ article to find out where the AI smarts come in ...

Digital Trends has just gone hands-on with the OpenRun Pro 2 open-ear headphones from Shokz and found them to be a decent bit of kit.

Designed primarily to be worn during workouts, the $179 OpenRun Pro 2 are also a compelling alternative for those who simply dislike earbuds or over-the-ear headphones.

The review praises the Open Pro 2 for their improved audio (finally, bone-conduction headphones with half-decent bass!), better battery life, and easy to use controls. But it cautions that those wearing glasses might want to try out the headphones for comfort first as the stems of the specs have to rest on top of the OpenRun Pro 2 ...

After watching the first two episodes of Terminator Zero and listening to key figures speak about their experiences making the show, Digital Trends’ Jess Reyes described it as “a modern Terminator adaptation that appropriately leans into the series’ hardcore sci-fi roots while also creating something standalone.”

Showrunner Mattson Tomlin highlighted the horror elements from The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day that influenced the anime, but it’s worth noting that Terminator Zero is not a continuation of the original film series in which Arnold Schwarzenegger plays the iconic cyborg assassin.

Adding an extra layer of intrigue is the way Terminator Zero purposefully plays with the idea of AI and how humans interact with it ...

Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will have a new version of Nuketown called Sandhouse, Game Rant reported.

It’ll be one of the 16 multiplayer maps available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 when it becomes available on October 25, and players and will be able to try out the multiplayer component in the open beta soon, Activision revealed on Wednesday.
