Multi-Hospital Cyberattack:

Hospitals and emergency rooms in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Texas, Rhode Island, and California have had to temporarily halt operations due to a significant cyberattack. Ambulances in these areas are also being relocated.
Meanwhile, many primary care services are on hold as security specialists assess and address the extent of the issue. The entity at the center of this breach is Prospect Medical Holdings, which oversees hospitals and clinics in these states.
They've proactively shut down their systems and are collaborating with external cybersecurity experts for an in-depth probe. This cyber threat has created considerable disruptions for patients and healthcare professionals alike.

Google Updates:

Google is set to release a new dashboard that will alert users when their personal information surfaces in search results, enabling them to remove it swiftly.
This upcoming tool, currently available only in English within the U.S., is an advanced version of the "Results about you" feature from last year. Users can easily remove personal data by clicking on three dots next to the offending search result and choosing "Remove result". For issues like incorrect data or potential copyright infringements, there's a dedicated removal request form.
Moreover, the tool allows users to keep track of their removal requests and even request the deletion of sensitive data that could be misused for doxxing purposes. On another note, Google has updated its policy to empower users to request the removal of personal explicit images from its search results, especially if those images have been uploaded elsewhere without the individual's consent.
However, this doesn't cover images the individual is using for commercial purposes. Lastly, Google introduced the SafeSearch setting primarily for users under 18, which automatically blurs explicit content. This feature will be accessible worldwide soon and can be deactivated, unless overridden by a guardian or educational institution's settings.

JPMorgan Recession Update:

JPMorgan Chase & Co., the leading bank in the United States and the largest bank by market capitalization, has revised its earlier negative economic forecast. The bank's economists no longer predict a U.S. recession.
This change aligns with many other institutions that have recently shifted to a brighter economic outlook. Although JPMorgan had initially predicted a recession in 2023, they now foresee "modest, sub-par growth" in 2024. Michale Feroli, the bank's Chief U.S. economist, highlighted a "healthy non-inflationary growth" spurred by specific productivity improvements.
