AI creates jobs, data from bank survey shows — companies with wide AI deployments and investments are more likely to be hiring than those that don't

(Latest from Tom's Hardware / 2026-03-06 14:36)

A European Central Bank analysis suggests the narrative of widespread AI-driven job losses may be misleading. Data indicates European companies that deploy or invest in AI are slightly more likely to be hiring than those that do not.

This contrasts with recent major layoffs at tech firms like Block, Amazon, and Microsoft, where AI efficiency is often cited as a reason for cuts. The ECB economists posit that if AI were delivering major productivity gains, firms would likely be expanding, not contracting, their workforces.

The overall impact of AI on net employment currently appears limited, with no significant difference in job creation between AI-users and non-users. However, the data shows a positive, if small, correlation between heavy AI use/investment and hiring, particularly for innovation-focused roles.

Main Topics: Conflicting narratives on AI's impact on jobs; European data showing a slight positive hiring correlation for AI-adopting firms; examples of major tech layoffs attributed to AI; analysis suggesting AI's current net employment effect is neutral to slightly positive.

Iran hacking capability still a threat despite war damage: Experts

(Tech-Economic Times / 2026-03-06 14:36)

Iran-linked hacking groups have increased their regional activities following recent US and Israeli strikes, though wartime disruptions may limit their impact. Their methods include phishing campaigns, such as one impersonating Israel's emergency alert app to deliver malware, and exploiting unsecured surveillance cameras across several Middle Eastern countries for intelligence gathering.

The main topics covered are the cyber activities of state-backed Iranian groups, their specific tactics and targets since the conflict's outbreak, and the assessment that kinetic military strikes have degraded some of their operational capabilities.

Multi-Stage VOID#GEIST Malware Delivering XWorm, AsyncRAT, and Xeno RAT

(The Hacker News / 2026-03-06 14:33)

Researchers have uncovered a multi-stage malware campaign called VOID#GEIST that uses obfuscated batch scripts to deliver encrypted remote access trojans (XWorm, AsyncRAT, Xeno RAT). The attack chain employs a fileless execution method, injecting decrypted shellcode into memory to avoid disk detection and mimic legitimate administrative activity. It begins with a phishing email delivering a batch script, which displays a decoy PDF as a distraction while establishing persistence and fetching encrypted payloads. The malware uses an embedded Python runtime to decrypt and execute the final RAT payloads directly in memory.

Apesar da alta, o desemprego ainda é considerado baixo historicamente.

Principais tópicos abordados: 1. Mercado de trabalho: Queda líquida de empregos e aumento da taxa de desemprego em fevereiro, com análise dos fatores causais (greve, clima) e contexto (revisão dos dados de janeiro). 2. Política econômica: Menção ao impacto das tarifas de importação e da política de imigração do governo Trump na desaceleração do mercado. 3. Cenário macroeconômico e inflação: Guerra no Oriente Médio pressionando os preços da gasolina, o que, junto com um mercado de trabalho ainda firme, deve levar o Federal Reserve a manter as taxas de juros elevadas na próxima reunião.

Elementary school in Tehran hit, Iran’s foreign ministry says

(Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera / 2026-03-06 14:28)

Summary: Iranian authorities state that an elementary school in Tehran was struck in what they attribute to US-Israeli attacks, which would be the fourth school hit in Iran during the conflict. An investigation into an earlier school strike in Minab—which reportedly killed 165—suggests the school was separate from any military site for over a decade, raising questions about the intelligence behind the strike and whether it was deliberate. The US has acknowledged an investigation into the incident, and the UN has called for a prompt and transparent probe, noting that deliberately attacking a school is a war crime.

Main Topics Covered: 1. Alleged strikes on schools in Iran by US and Israeli forces. 2. Investigations and evidence challenging the justification for the strikes. 3. Casualty figures, particularly among children. 4. International reactions and legal implications, including potential war crimes.

The vertebrate eye may have begun as a cyclops

(Ars Technica / 2026-03-06 14:23)

A new evolutionary theory proposes that vertebrate eyes, including human eyes, may not have evolved directly from the paired eyes of early animals. Instead, they might have been reinvented from a single, central light-sensing organ after the original paired eyes were lost.

The key evidence is a fundamental difference in photoreceptor cells: vertebrates use ciliary cells (rods and cones) for vision, while most other animals use rhabdomeric cells. This suggests a distinct evolutionary pathway where vertebrates uniquely co-opted both cell types into a single, new visual organ.

The main topics covered are evolutionary biology, the origin of vertebrate eyes, and the comparative anatomy of photoreceptor cells.

Microsoft 365 Backup to add file-level restore for faster recovery

(BleepingComputer / 2026-03-06 14:21)

Microsoft is upgrading its Microsoft 365 Backup service to allow administrators to perform granular restores of individual files and folders from SharePoint and OneDrive, rather than requiring full-site restores. This aims to significantly speed up recovery times from incidents like ransomware or accidental deletion. The feature, which entered public preview in early March 2026 and is rolling out to general availability in late April to early May 2026, requires the SharePoint Backup Administrator role and does not change the end-user experience. The main topics covered are a new software feature for IT administrators, improvements to data backup and recovery, and specific product rollout timelines.

Indonesia outlines plan to limit under-16s’ access to social media

(TechCrunch / 2026-03-06 14:18)

Indonesia is implementing age-gated restrictions on social media access, allowing children 13+ to use lower-risk platforms and restricting higher-risk platforms like TikTok and Instagram to users 16+. The regulations, set for enforcement in 2026, aim to protect children from harmful content and exploitation by holding digital platforms accountable, not by punishing users.

The government cites high internet usage among children and concerning exposure to sexual content as key motivations. This move aligns with a broader global trend of countries introducing similar age-based social media restrictions.

The main topics covered are Indonesia's new social media age-restriction policy, its specific implementation rules and timeline, the stated protective goals, and the international context of such regulations.
