Iran-Based Chat App Raychat Suffers Cyberattack

Screenshot: Gizmodo/Raychat A startup in Iran recently suffered a large data breach in which millions of its user records were exposed to the internet and then subsequently destroyed by a cyberattack involving a bot. The disruption appears to be part of an ongoing trend in which bad actors surf the web looking for insecure databases, then pounce on them to steal or destroy the data. Advertisement Raychat, which was founded in 2017, has sought to make a name for itself as a business and social messaging application. It partners with businesses and websites, which use it for sales and customer service, among other things. It was featured at Iran’s Silk Road Startup Summit several years ago, and a website that rates startups by their social engagement and other metrics lists it as one of Iran’s more popular new companies.

Scene at MIT: A Black computing pioneer takes his place in technology history

Massachusetts Institute of Technology The caption on a black-and-white photo reads, in part: “In 1951, high school graduate Joe Thompson, 18, was trained as one of the first two computer operators. The computer was the Whirlwind, the prototype for the SAGE air defense system.” MIT’s Whirlwind was one of the earliest high-speed digital computers, and Thompson played a key role in its operation at the start of his decades-long career in computing. With help from Deborah Douglas, director of collections at the MIT Museum, David Brock of the Computer History Museum recently caught up with Thompson, the first person trained as a Whirlwind operator at the MIT Digital Computer Laboratory, to learn more about his time with the project and his subsequent years as a leader in the computing industry.
