Organic Food Market Is Expected To Reach USD 566.11 Bn By 2030 As Revealed In New Report - WhaTech

In January 2024 I hit my highest online rating ever: 3,103 on Chess.com. This put me next to chess super grandmasters and in the top 10 on the website.

However, if you think it was a result of great preparation and a positive life - not at all. Surprisingly, it happened during one of the worst periods of my life.

The worst year in my life

2023 started very badly I got divorced, had health issues, and some other significant troubles I can't even talk about yet. Life was going downhill, and despite my efforts to stay positive and tackle the problems, my challenges had a significant negative impact on me. It also greatly affected my online chess rating. In 2021, I reached my peak at 3,064, but in 2023, my rating dropped below 2,800.

Not surprising, right?

It's the expected outcome of a series of unfortunate events. Reflecting on it, I've come to a big conclusion: Don't play chess when you're emotionally overwhelmed; it just adds to the reasons for feeling down.

But then, one day, everything changed.

The day of the Revolution

Since I had lots of tough days last year, I was looking for a light in the darkness, and my friend suggested a book by Kamal Ravikant called, "Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends on It."

Long story short, it helped me a lot, and in my worst moments I tried to apply the ideas learned from the book. One day, after some meditation practice, I was in a great mood and a sudden question appeared in my thoughts, Why not play chess?

I sat down in front of the laptop, and in a few hours, I crossed 2900. The mood that day was fantastic and was multiplied after this successful session. I didn't analyze how that happened, I just enjoyed it all. I continued the routine for the next few days, any second I had the crazy feeling, "I want to play chess", I did so, and sometimes this even occurred during my working time in the ChessMood office. (I know my boss is reading this, so sorry.)

I grasped this fantastic idea from The Surrender Experiment article and it worked out perfectly.

Shortly, I crossed the 3,000 barrier again!

Dont focus on numbers

Once I crossed 3,000 I closed the website and went to sleep with satisfaction thinking that I would now take a break. The next day I again had the mood to play, but there was a question, What should I do? Look at the 3,000 number and admire it or follow the method that helped me get there and keep playing. I am sure you know my decision, I kept playing but with the strict condition to play only in a good mood. 3,020 - 3,040 - 3,063 in a short while. I regained my absolute peak rating, and a sudden idea struck me, what about 3,100? Why not? I am so close. Then I calmed down and applied the advice that I always give to my students:

Dont focus on the rating - focus on good chess. If you play well enough, the rating will chase your strength and go up.

I kept playing, winning, or losing games, and forgot about my rating. One day I found myself just a few points away from the dream, without even knowing what would happen next.

From Hero to Zero

After winning one of the games, I looked at the number, and it was 3,098!! The next game started, one win and thats it! I had the position below, up the entire army against the lonely king - but a move away from checkmate, I flagged!!!!!!!

I couldn't believe that happened to me. I had my dream in my hands, and it just vanished. A crazy feeling of tilt took control of me, and I started ruining my dream. A few days later, after losing another game, I saw this number next to my name.

I lost about 100 points. I was about to give up and quit and never play chess again. However, as a professional chess player and a coach, I dont have the right to give up easily. Instead, I decided to analyze and understand why this happened. Why did I go from Hero to Zero in just a few days? To figure out the reason for this failure I tried to look back and understand what I did specifically on the days when I played bad chess. Nothing really came to my mind until I remembered a conversation.

Most common mistake

My team member and friend said, "Stop playing chess today, you will lose it all." On questioning why, he said, "Look at your facial expression, you are completely not in the mood." Unfortunately, that day I ignored this advice and kept losing my rating. But looking back, that was an Eureka moment!

My mood! The reason that took me high to the sky was also the reason I dropped down. I played without my winning card! Without my superpower!!! Guess what happened next? I just used it again, and afterward climbed back to 3,072. Again being close to the goal.

Its time to tell you about one of the most significant days in my chess career.

The decisive Saturday

Saturday, Jan 13, 2024, at 5 in the evening I started my private educational stream for ChessMood students, and around 6:45 I could go home to rest. However, while walking downstairs, the magical desire to play chess put me in front of my desk. I was so unbelievably confident. With a rating of 3,072, I had only 29 points left, and I said, Its time to cross 3,100.

For 5 minutes, no one accepted my challenge as I was only looking for 3,000+ opponents. For one second Fabiano Caruana was online and, in a state of euphoria, I even challenged him. Luckily I didnt get accepted 🙂

After a few minutes, the match started with GM David Paravyan, a 3,000+ GM who consistently plays online blitz games and is my long-time rival. We had different scores during several played matches, but this time with a score of 7.5 - 2.5, I had the following position as white.

My heart rate dramatically increased I saw the move that promised me the win. What to play?

Black cant take on h3 as the bishop on f3 would be hanging, and otherwise, a powerful h-passed pawn will be enough to win the game. My opponent resigned.

For a second, I forgot what was going on and was about to play the next game. However, looking at the bottom left part of the screen, I saw this beautiful - dream picture.

I screamed like the famous Lion that is shown before Tom and Jerry cartoons.

I scared everyone else in the building but it was worth it.

Conclusion

The journey is over, and I am now going to rest for a while. I have a message for every chess player, as this painful experience of losing 300 rating points and then gaining 350 opened my eyes.

Some people play chess just for fun, others play as a distraction from their daily routines and problems, and some are professionals.

However, my biggest advice, proven by the results of this journey:

Play chess when you are in a good mood and when you want it like nothing else.

Its hard to think about my next goals. Maybe I should aim for 3,200?

Mmm I need some encouragement. If you think I should do it, put + in the comments, and feel free to share your thoughts.

Binance actively fighting Sybil attackers amid Megadrop IEO event

Binance announced that after the Megadrop IEO event, it banned around 300 accounts - 297 to be precise. The reason? Sybil attacks. Airdrop hunters use various sophisticated strategies to get as many free tokens as they can. However, more projects are implementing strategies to fight farmers.

Over a million users participated in the Megadrop IEO event, demonstrating a high level of user participation. Yet despite enormous interest, 102,000 accounts were found to be fraudulent by Binance's risk control procedures. As more accounts are examined, this number is updated continuously.

These accounts were primarily used in Sybil attacks, in which several accounts were created in order to take advantage of airdrop. Following a thorough investigation, 297 primary accounts were confirmed by Binance and banned. As an example of the scope of the Sybil attack, one of these accounts alone had accumulated up to 9,000 KYC accounts.

The strict risk control procedures implemented by the platform ensured that these malicious activities were quickly detected and addressed. To continue providing for actual users, project expenses will be funded by money from frozen and recovered accounts. Through proactive measure, Binance hopes to prevent system abusers from profiting from airdrop events and instead to assist authorized users. This action is a component of a larger plan to preserve the platform's IEO and airdrop events' integrity.

Users of Binance have been reassured by the company that only fraudulent accounts are the focus of the risk control procedures. There is no need for genuine users to be concerned about their accounts being impacted.

Binance users can use the online customer support portal to file a complaint if their account has been mistakenly classified as fraudulent. The support staff is dedicated to finding quick solutions to these problems so that real users do not have to suffer. As airdrop hunters use more advanced tactics to take advantage of free token distributions, Sybil attacks have grown to be a serious threat in the cryptocurrency space.

Binance Bans 297 Accounts: Here's Why - U.Today

By Quincy Jon, Tech Times Jun 27, 2024 10:54 PM EDT

Binance seeks to improve platform security after internal analysis revealed feature and service exploitation on the platform.

The crypto exchange discovered abuse thatresulted in unfair benefits, including increased charge rates and API limitations, necessitating more protections, according to Gadgets360.

After repeated legal objections from governments worldwide, Binance reassessed its user-friendliness and sought changes. It stated in a blog post that criminal actors have targeted sub-accounts, managed sub-wallets, and fund manager accounts to evade safeguards.

Binance noted that it employs innovative technology to monitor account activity to prevent abuse. It assured that it will investigate "all potential or suspected incidents of misuse" and take necessary actions, such as suspending and terminating violating accounts.

To encourage platform security, Binance compensates users for reporting suspicious activity. It underscored that reports will significantly help improve the platform.

While under worldwide regulatory scrutiny, Binance launched this initiative. The crypto exchange platform topped 170 million users in December 2023. India fined Binance $2.25 million for violating the Prevention of Money Laundering Act of 2002. It also faced regulatory concerns in the US and Nigeria due to potential crypto regulation violations.

Meanwhile, Hong Kong aims to lead the efforts regulating cryptocurrencies alongside other Asian governments.TechTimes earlier reportedthat the HKSAR Legislative Council formed a crypto law group.

HKSAR Legislative Council member Johnny NG Kit-Chong announced the crypto-focused subcommittee on social media. He said the panel will discuss Web3 and virtual asset regulations.

Despite financial risks, the worldwide crypto market has a valuation of $2.26 trillion.

In addition, the panel will support Web3 and AI within regulations. To increase market trust, the virtual asset subcommittee safeguards investors and consumers. Other priorities include investigations into stablecoin applications and risks in Hong Kong and regulatory measures to ensure financial stability without limiting innovation.

Last month, Hong Kong's SFC announced it would inspect crypto exchanges for AMLO compliance. Following the US, Hong Kong authorized Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in April to attract institutional investors.

Experts detected a fake YouTube clip of Elon Musk at a Tesla event that served as a cover for acryptocurrencyscam.

According to a report from Mashable, the fraudsters broadcast Musk's speeches as live feeds on YouTube. The video is often real but looped, with anAI-generated voice imitating Muskor generic audio from Musk's presentations. On-screen visuals show a live Bitcoin discussion with links or QR codes to the scam.

This technique relies on hijacked YouTube channels with a large user base. The technique renames hacked channels with hundreds of thousands of members to mimic Musk or Tesla accounts.

After the channel goes "live," subscribers get alerts, enticing them into the scam. In the recent incident, YouTube confirmed that the hijacked channel was "Tesla" with the username "@elon.teslastream" and had over 10,000 subscribers.

The report stated that the online broadcast peaked at 30,000 concurrent viewers. YouTube's algorithm encourages views-based streams; thus, many viewers may have been bots trying to manipulate the system and get the video into more feeds.

Binance Offers Rewards for Reporting Suspicious Activity to Boost Platform Safety - Tech Times

The invention of quantum computers poses a global threat to internet security. This is because they have the processing power necessary to break the majority of the encryption algorithms that currently protect most of the worlds data. They achieve this by using quantum physics to perform a lot more efficiently than traditional supercomputers.

Before you panic, its worth noting that, as it stands, quantum computers are only being used for research purposes, so youre unlikely to find one outside of a research center, such as a university, research lab, or supercomputer center. But experts are predicting that at some point in the next five years, this will change and quantum computers will start being used to break the encryption that has, up until now, kept most of the sensitive data on the internet from being hacked. This event is referred to as Q-day.

When this happens, everything from photos, private emails, and medical records to government files, business documents, and banking details will be vulnerable. So its likely to have huge and far-reaching consequences, causing political, financial, and social chaos around the world. It will also make it much easier to scam unsuspecting victims, as hackers will be able to use private details to make phishing scams a lot more believable.

Thankfully, there is a way you can protect your data from Q-day. Cyber security experts have already developed a range of post-quantum algorithms that will offer sufficient data protection against quantum computers. This level of security is available now to anyone. All you need to do is sign up for a VPN with post-quantum encryption.

Well use this article to explain the risks in much more detail and recommend VPNs you can get right now that already come future-proofed with robust post-quantum protection. So read on to learn all you need to know.

At the moment, your data should be fairly secure, particularly if you use a reputable VPN to encrypt your traffic. However, it might not stay that way for long, as quantum computers pose a significant cyber security threat to most online data. This is because these machines use quantum physics to make their computations infinitely more efficient than those of a traditional supercomputer.

Referred to as Q-day, experts are predicting that this day will happen at some point in the next five years. So while your data is probably safe for the time being, it probably wont be secure once Q-day happens.

Upgrade your life with a daily dose of the biggest tech news, lifestyle hacks and our curated analysis. Be the first to know about cutting-edge gadgets and the hottest deals.

If you rely on traditional forms of encryption, Q-day will jeopardize all your online information. This includes everything from your documents, photos, and emails to your banking details, work documents, and your internet search history.

However, its important to know that your data doesnt have to be compromised. There are already post-quantum algorithms to protect against attacks from quantum computers. You can get this level of security today by signing up to a VPN that offers post-quantum encryption. Weve recommended our favorite picks further down the page.

While Q-day cant be prevented as such, given that quantum computers will become more powerful and more widely used, the impact of it can be dramatically reduced. To achieve this, experts have been working on post-quantum encryption. As the name suggests, this is a form of cryptography thats powerful enough to protect against hacks from quantum computers.

Q-day is predicted to happen at some point in the next five years. So, while the threat isnt necessarily imminent, its a very sensible idea to prepare for Q-day by securing your data with quantum-resistant encryption. This type of security is already available from a select number of VPN providers, so you can safeguard your data from today.

There are several different types of post-quantum algorithms that can protect your data from quantum computers and prevent your data from Q-day.

The best thing you can do to protect your data from quantum computer attacks that will happen on Q-day and beyond is to use a VPN that comes with post-quantum encryption. These algorithms have been specifically designed to be unbreakable, even by quantum computers, meaning that they can give the required level of protection to guard against Q-day.

But its important to note that not all VPNs (even the best VPNs) offer post-quantum protection. In fact, the majority of providers havent yet built this into their protocols. So even if you use a VPN, its quite possible your data will be vulnerable to attack by quantum computers.

Q-day is predicted to happen at some point in the next five years. So while the threat might not be immediate, its important to protect your data against Q-day, as we dont yet know when its going to happen. So the most prudent thing you can do is sign up for a VPN that offers post-quantum encryption. This is especially important if youre looking to save money by signing up for a long-term subscription. That way, no matter when Q-day happens, your data will be protected.

As we mentioned, there are a select number of VPNs with post-quantum encryption that will future-proof your cyber security. Here, weve compiled a list of reputable ones that will keep your data safe from Q-day. Well also explain what type of encryption each VPN uses to help you make an informed choice.

If youve read any of our other VPN guides, youll be used to seeing ExpressVPNs name being mentioned as one of the very best VPNs. This is largely because of its ability to deliver market-leading security, along with fast speeds, and a great user experience. But, unlike a lot of its direct competitors, ExpressVPN stands out by offering quantum-resistant encryption, thereby giving users much more sophisticated protection than youd find on most other providers.

As with most VPNs, ExpressVPN uses AES 256-bit encryption, which is sufficient to protect against attacks from classical computers. But it also goes a step further with its very own open-source Lightway protocol, which has built-in post-quantum algorithms. These are too powerful to be broken by quantum computers.

If this isnt enough to put your mind at ease, the Lightway protocol has undergone independent auditing twice in the last couple of years by Cure53. It passed both with flying colors, therefore proving that its every bit as secure as ExpressVPN has claimed.

You might be concerned that such sophisticated encryption might slow down any traffic using the Lightway protocol. But actually, it performed really well in our speed tests, coming in at 410 Mbps. This speed will be more than fast enough for anything youd want to do online, including streaming, online gaming, and video editing.

But the Lightway protocol isnt the only reason why ExpressVPN comes so highly recommended. It also delivers everything else you could want from a VPN, including the ability to unblock region-restricted content with ease, as well as helpful customer support, and a fleet of strong servers.

QSTVPN has integrated post-quantum encryption into its VPN connections to protect user data from quantum computers, as well as classical computers. So its a great choice if youre looking to keep your data safe now and into the future.

Despite its additional security, QSTVPN delivers fast and reliable speeds that will lead to a smooth online experience.

If youre concerned about cyber security in a post-Q-day world, QAL VPN could be the perfect solution to protect your business from hackers. It offers a number of post-quantum algorithms to provide plenty of protection against quantum machines. The provider utilizes three lattice-based algorithms, as well as its SPHINCS+ cryptography, which uses hash-based functions. So its definitely one of the most future-proofed business options around.

However, because its a VPN designed for large businesses, its probably not the ideal solution if you want one for individual use. But if youre looking for something to protect your organization from the ramifications of Q-day, it could be the ideal choice for you.

If youre primarily a desktop user, Mullvad will provide you with sophisticated post-quantum encryption for your Windows, MAC, or Linux machine. It does this by incorporating quantum-resistant tunnels in all its WireGuard protocols for its desktop app with Kyber and Classic McEliece post-quantum algorithms.

If youre concerned about leaving your other devices vulnerable, dont worry because Mullvad is already working on rolling out this level of security for its iOS and Android apps. Customers signing up for a Mullvad subscription should have post-quantum protection across all their devices long before Q-day happens.

Mullvads encryption shares a secret in a way thats too sophisticated for a quantum computer to be able to decipher. Once this has been shared, that tunnel will be disconnected and a new one will be opened with the new shared secret.

You wont go far wrong with Mullvad as your VPN provider because, in addition to its post-quantum algorithms, it also delivers fast speeds and total customer anonymity.

Windscribe is a strong VPN with plenty of security features, fast speeds, and content-unblocking capabilities. On top of this, it also uses the WireGuard protocol to generate unique pre-shared keys for each user that are quantum-resistant.

Even if a quantum computer were able to decrypt these keys, which is extremely unlikely, it would be unable to interpret the traffic. Therefore, it will keep your data hidden from any hacks past Q-day.

Quantum computers pose a potentially catastrophic threat to online security. Once these machines are powerful enough and begin being used outside of research labs, they will have the power and the capability to break the encryption that protects most of the data on the internet. This event is known as Q-day and experts are predicting that this could happen at any time in the next five years.

Luckily, there are already some post-quantum algorithms that are strong enough to protect your data against this threat. All you need to do is sign up for a VPN that offers this level of security, such as ExpressVPN, Windscribe, or Mullvad.

Post-quantum encryption is a form of cyber security thats powerful enough to protect your data from attacks by quantum computers. There are a few different types of post-quantum cryptography that are currently available, such as lattice-based, hash-based, and code-based algorithms. If you want this level of protection, use a VPN that has built it into its protocols, such as Mullvad, ExpressVPN, or Windscribe.

Although quantum computers dont currently pose a security threat, as theyre only being used in research labs right now, there will come a day when theyre strong enough to break most of the worlds encryption.

Referred to as Q-day, this event will wreak havoc across the world and could effectively render VPNs obsolete, as theyll no longer be able to protect user data. That is unless VPNs incorporate post-quantum encryption into their protocols. Some VPNs have already done this, such as ExpressVPN, Mullvad, and Windscribe. If other providers follow suit, quantum computers wont be able to decrypt the protection offered, meaning that they can no longer pose a threat to VPNs.
