A universe evolves over billions and billions of years, but researchers have now developed a way to create a complex simulated universe in less than a day. The technique, published in
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, brings together machine learning, high-performance computing and astrophysics and will help usher in a new era of high-resolution cosmology simulations. The U.S. National Science Foundation funded the research.
Cosmological simulations are an essential part of teasing out the many mysteries of the universe, including those of dark matter and dark energy. But until now, researchers faced the common conundrum of not being able to have it all simulations could either focus on a small area at high resolution or encompass a large volume of the universe at low resol

A coalition of 60 global entities (including the DoJ) has proposed a sweeping plan to hunt down and disrupt ransomware gangs by going after their financial operations.
Ransomware has reached crisis levels across business sectors and across the globe, but a public-private Ransomware Task Force aims to stem the tide of attacks by disrupting the crooks’ business model.
Join Threatpost for “Fortifying Your Business Against Ransomware, DDoS & Cryptojacking Attacks” a LIVE roundtable event on Wednesday, May 12 at 2:00 PM EDT for this FREE webinar sponsored by Zoho ManageEngine.
The Institute for Security and Technology (IST) put together the coalition, which includes more than 60 members from software companies, government agencies, cybersecurity vendors, financial services companies, nonprofits and academic institutions. Big names associated with the project include the U.S. Department of Justice, Europol and the U.K.’s National Cy
People wait in line at the Apple Fifth Avenue store in New York City. The new Apple iPhone 12 was released today.

The Ransomware Task Force, a collaboration of more than 60 stakeholders, released its long-awaited ransomware framework on Thursday morning, advocating nearly 50 interlocking government and private sector strategies to tackle the criminal scourge.
The Institute for Science and Technology announced the Ransomware Task Force (RTF) in December, drawing delegates from state, national and international government, law enforcement, cybersecurity insurance, security vendors, academia, think tanks and industries likely to be disrupted by ransomware. Even before its release, the report drew interest from
