🚨 Tesla Issues Cybertruck Recall Over Faulty Rear Camera Feed 🚨 Tesla has announced a recall for over 27,000 Cybertrucks due to software issues causing a delayed rear camera display when backing up. Affected vehicles, manufactured between November 2023 and September 2024, may experience a 6 to 8-second delay in showing the camera feed, which could be a safety risk. Federal regulations require the camera feed to appear within 2 seconds. Tesla is addressing the issue with a free over-the-air software update to bring the system back into compliance. No crashes or injuries have been reported, but it’s the fifth recall since deliveries began last November, with previous recalls involving faulty wipers, loose trim, and jammed accelerator pedals. Stay safe on the road and ensure your software is up to date! 🚗🔧 #TeslaRecall #Cybertruck #TechNews #SafetyFirst

🚨 Meta Fined $101.5M for Major Password Breach 🚨 The Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) has fined Meta a staggering $101.5 million (€91 million) over a significant security breach that occurred in 2019.

While Meta claims no external parties had access, the DPC ruled that Meta violated several GDPR regulations, including: Failure to notify the DPC of the breach without undue delay Failure to properly document the breach Failure to implement proper security measures to protect passwords The fine serves as a reminder of the importance of securing personal data and the risks involved when proper protocols are not followed. More details on Meta's reprimand are expected once the DPC releases its full final decision. 💬 What are your thoughts on this major breach?
