Her users could log in, transfer money, and check balances in a few clicks. But three days after launch, something strange happened. A user complained that their account had transferred $500 to a stranger — even though they never logged in that day. Ella was stunned. The application had no visible bugs, no failed authentication logs, and everything seemed fine. After hours of investigation, a cybersecurity expert named David was brought in. He quickly spotted the issue,  Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) . Ella had never heard of it before. What Is CSRF? Imagine you write a note to your bank asking to move money, but someone else sends a fake note pretending to be you. That’s what CSRF does. CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery) is an attack that tricks a user into executing unwanted actions on a web application wh...

Emma is a 27-year-old marketing professional living in a bustling city. She has hundreds of friends on Facebook, thousands of followers on Instagram, and constantly scrolls through TikTok videos during her breaks. Her smartphone buzzes relentlessly with notifications, likes, comments, direct messages. Yet, when the screen dims, Emma often feels an aching emptiness. This paradox, being more connected than ever yet feeling profoundly alone, is at the heart of a growing global phenomenon: tech-driven loneliness . What changed? To understand Emma’s story, we need to travel back in time to explore how humans traditionally built social connections and how technology has reshaped these bonds.   Loneliness Through the Ages: From Campfires to Smartphones Humans are inherently social creatures. Our ancestors thrived by living in tight-knit communities where relationships were essential for survival. Around campfires, stories were shared, problems solved, and bonds forged. In villag...

Imagine controlling your computer, phone, or even a robotic arm using only your thoughts. This idea once belonged to the realm of science fiction, but today, it is rapidly becoming reality thanks to neurotechnology and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). These breakthroughs promise not only to transform medicine but also to fundamentally reshape how humans interact with technology—and even how we experience the world. In this blog, we explore the fascinating field of neurotechnology , its current applications, examples of neurotechnology devices, different perspectives on its impact, and the exciting future it holds. What is Neurotechnology? At its core, neurotechnology refers to the hardware, software, and systems designed to interact directly with the nervous system, most notably the brain. This includes devices that record, stimulate, or interpret neural activity to restore, enhance, or alter brain function. One of the most exciting branches of neurotechnology is the devel...
