Racist and homophobic sites are targeted by a hacker named Amped Attacks

The new generation is dominated by hackers from Anonymous, which is a gathering of international hackers who are trying to write the wrongs in this world. Nonetheless, there are also a lot of hackers that are alone and try to do the same thing. A hacker who is known by the name Amped Attacks who is specialized in DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) is targeting racist and homophobic sites.
The most common method to take down a site is to DDoS it by sending overloading requests to make the network or the machine unavailable to its users. Amped Attacks uses hashtags like #tangodown in his tweets which Anonymous also uses in their tweets, but that doesn’t mean he is associated with the organization or with the movement. He or she could be a lone-wolf who is just doing what needs to be done.
Yesterday Amped Attacks took down the godhatesfags.com website and throughout the course of the day he managed to destroy multiple other sites including an ISIS related website. Another shameful website, ikkkknights.com was also taken down, although the site returned back quickly. The next site Amped Attacks is going for is kuklosknights.com which is another KKK site.
This move started only to make people aware of these racist and homophobic sites, because the sites are not going to stay down forever from DDoS attacks and Amped Attacks knows this. As, people usually associate hackers with identity theft, breaches of security and other illegal doings, I think it is great to also show the world that not all hackers are criminals. Some of them are simply using their knowledge to raise awareness and show the world the real harsh truth that most people deny.

Google appeared as a car manufacturer

Google has recently used CES as a platform to present its philosophy of “Better Together,” the notion that all devices should get along with one another. Typically, this entails making announcements regarding new Cast compatibility and features like Fast Pair. The business revealed that it is collaborating with Spotify to incorporate the Connect streaming capability into the Android UI at CES 2023. Additionally, it showed a sneak peek at an audio handoff tool that would recommend various devices to shift your music to based on your preferences and location.
However, CES is a significant vehicle event, and Google also sells items for cars. Additionally, it said today that the Polestar 3 would receive its higher-resolution maps, and it debuted the most recent Android Auto user interface for the first time since it was revealed at I/O 2022.
Two vehicles, a Volvo EX90 with Google preinstalled and a BMW i7 with the new Android Auto experience, were at the Google stand in the trailer lot of the Las Vegas Convention Center. We had never seen the Volvo before, and we’ll be posting a separate hands-on on that experience shortly. The new Android Auto is the main topic of this article and video.
The redesigned interface will support larger screen sizes and have a split screen layout, as we discovered at I/O. Google has eliminated the status bar and inserted a row of shortcut keys below it, along with some indication icons in a small area to the top left. When we were in the car, the Spotify app was located on the left panel, and we could access a list of suggested playlists by swiping in from the right side.
Alerts that you won’t have time to respond to while driving are likewise stored in this left pane. For instance, you can swipe right on a notification to move it to the dock, where it will wait until you’re ready to deal with it.
Check out the video up top for more of our experience with the updated Android Auto in the BMW i7! And be sure to pay attention this week as there will be a ton of news at CES 2023.
