The SORBS spam blocklist service has gone offline, prompting Data443 to offer a free alternative using its Cyren platform. However, Data443’s service is not a continuation of SORBS itself and does not involve the acquisition of its codebase. In other news, critical vulnerabilities have been identified in various tech devices, and a woman from Georgia has been charged with cyber stalking and interstate threats. Additionally, a Canadian citizen living in China has pleaded guilty to stealing and selling trade secrets related to Tesla’s battery charging technology. He faces up to ten years in prison.
