Late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was born 71 years ago today, February 24, 1955. Sadly, Jobs passed away on October 5, 2011, following an extended battle with pancreatic cancer.
Jobs and Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple and the company’s first computer offering was the Apple-I in kit form which was sold for $666.66. The best-selling Apple II followed, as did the Lisa (which was an expensive flop), the Macintosh (which continues to sell well to this day), and other innovative devices.

North Korean state-backed hackers associated with the Lazarus threat group are targeting U.S. healthcare organizations in extortion attacks using the Medusa ransomware.
The Medusa ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation emerged in January 2021, and by February 2025, it impacted over 300 organizations in various critical infrastructure sectors. Since then, the gang claimed at least another 80 victims.
North Korean threat actors have previously been linked to other ransomware strains such as HolyGhost, PLAY, Maui, Qilin, as well as other malware families. However, this is the first time security researchers have associated the actor with Medusa.

In news that will surprise no one, X has launched a legal challenge against the $141 million (approximately 120 million euros) fine issued to the company by the EU Commission last December, which relates to breaches of X’s DSA obligations relating to transparency.
The fine specifically relates to X’s changes to verification, which the EU Commission claims has led to confusion as to what the blue checkmarks in the app now represent. In addition, the EU Commission has also penalized X for restricting researcher access, which is also in violation of X’s DSA obligations.
X’s platform’s Global Affairs team said on Friday that the penalty is based on a flawed approach.
