Big Tech Inc. Manish reports that Manu Jain is the latest Xiaomi executive to leave. This might sting a bit for the company because Jain was the one who set up and scaled the smartphone makerâs presence in India. All right, now here you are, checking all the security boxes, getting your two-factor authentication set up, and along comes a hacker â albeit paid by Meta â that finds a bug, which allows someone to bypass that two-factor authentication on Facebook and Instagram. I guess itâs good they caught it, but ugh! Lorenzo has more. And we have five more for you: |
