Google has a post up on its security blog that is half advertisement and half PSA-style announcement for Android users: go into your settings and turn off the "Allow 2G" toggle. This option, added in Android 12 back in 2021, does exactly what it sounds like: it turns off support for 2G cellular networking. Why would you want to do that? Because attackers are using the insecure 2G protocol to spoof phone numbers and send SMS spam.

Apple Cash is a popular and easy way to send money right within the iOS Messages app and soon with just a tap. Until now, you haven’t needed to submit an ID to use parts of the feature. That will change for many users as Apple will require identity verification starting in October for sending more than a total of $500 across all transactions – including past ones.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) cards are ubiquitously used to authenticate using a physical token. This technology is often embedded in employee ID cards, enabling physical card identification and a unique ID assigned to the card. A reading device, tied into the automatic controlled locking system, scans these cards to determine whether access should be granted. This access control technology is most often seen on exterior doors to your building (picture: left). This technology is also utilized in other areas, such as entering an employee’s parking lot (picture: bottom-right) or scanning your badge to enter restricted floors in an elevator (picture: top-right). If you wave an ID badge near a scanner and it beeps, it is likely an RFID ID badge.

Restaurant operators quickly learned to adopt contactless ordering and payment because of the pandemic, but customers, young and old, have embraced these technologies. Self-service, contactless ordering, and payment are popular in specific sectors, such as fast-food and coffee chains. The technology offered customers a convenient and fast way to purchase and pay for food while skipping the long lineups. The fast-casual and dine-in restaurants took little time to transition over. Users are impressed by the technology's efficacy in managing issues like labour and supply chain shortages, lockdowns and delivery. Another benefit is the integrated software into the restaurant's point of sale (POS) touchpoints. Transactions are tracked in real-time, which makes reconciliation a breeze.
