After the incidents at WordCamp US 2024, WP Engine sent a “cease and desist” letter to Automattic demanding that Automattic and its CEO, Matt Mullenweg, retract and stop making false, harmful, and disparaging statements about WP Engine.

Automattic Confirms Legal Action 

Matt Mullenweg has confirmed that they have officially initiated legal action against WP Engine for the “Unauthorized Use of WordPress Foundation and WooCommerce, Inc. Intellectual Property” and requested them to stop the unauthorized use of trademarks belonging to Automattic & Woo. 

The document reads, “Our Client owns all intellectual property rights globally in and to the world-famous WOOCOMMERCE and WOO trademarks; and the exclusive commercial rights from the WordPress Foundation to use,…

Experts have shared their views on the highly discussed question: will AI take over jobs?Thomson Reuter’s Future of Professionals Report 2024 shows that 77% of the people who were surveyed believe AI and GenAI are going to highly impact their careers by 2029. Last year, the number was less at 67%.

This is due to the fact that professionals are becoming more aware of how AI can be used, and the fear that AI will completely remove experts of their well earned positions, isn’t necessarily true. AI, according to different industry leaders, can bring value and increase productivity.
 

What Are Law’s Views?

 
AI has its benefits, such as being able to free up to 4 hours of work each week, and The Thomson Reuter report states that 79% of UK lawyers think AI will highly impact…

Bots have rapidly evolved over the years, and with the new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), they continue progressing. A report shows that in 2022, 47.4% of all internet traffic came from bots. This is a 5.1% increase over the previous year. Meanwhile, human traffic, reported at 52.6%, was the lowest in eight years.

Internet bots are most often associated with harmful or suspicious activity, like distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks or spreading misinformation on social media. However, bots are also widely used for task automation and efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary for businesses to learn how to distinguish between the two.

Nexus Mods – one of the biggest modding sites on the internet – has confirmed it won’t be hosting Pokémon-themed Palworld mods, saying doing so would “almost certainly… put us at risk of legal action” given Nintendo’s history of litigiousness.

Palworld’s big hook, of course, is the Pokémon-like Pals that roam its open world, all of which can be caught (in a very Pokémon-like manner) to assist in exploration and survival. The sometimes startling similarity between Pals and Pokémon’s creature designs has been a major talking point since its early access launch, and it was inevitable modders would begin swapping out Palworld’s derivative creatures for the real thing.

It took mere days for the first Palworld Pokémon mod to arrive, and quick as you like,…

Nepal has witnessed an exponential 340 per cent annual growth in publicly reported hacking incidents against private and public sector digital infrastructure, according to police statistics. This surging epidemic of intrusions has been enabled by untreated flaws permeating networks and deficiencies around oversight, allowing websites and databases to be easily penetrated by even novice hackers.

The vectors for such website breaches predominantly include SQL injection attacks and distributed denial of service (DDoS) salvos – together underlying over 85 per cent of documented cybercrime cases with technical evidence and attack forensics.

As compared to Server Loss, SQL injection is one of the critical vulnerabilities which lead to taking over the database of the server, SQL injection…
