DarkBERT

                                      

DarkBERT is the first AI language model designed specifically for the Dark Web. A language model is an AI system that understands human language and has a lot of knowledge, which helps it solve many tasks related to language. DarkBERT is especially good at working with the messy and hard-to-understand data found on the Dark Web. Unlike other language models that have trouble with the strange words and different formats on the Dark Web, DarkBERT has been trained to understand this type of content. It improves its skills by using a method called Masked Language Modeling (MLM) on text collected from the Dark Web, using a version of the RoBERTa model.

One big challenge in training DarkBERT is gathering the right data. The company S2W is well-known for its ability to collect and analyze data from the Dark Web, even including hidden or copied websites. After cleaning up the data and removing duplicates, they built a large and useful collection of Dark Web text, totaling 5.83GB.

DarkBERT was built using large existing language models and then trained further with special data from the Dark Web. It is very good at working with unorganized data that is often found on the anonymous web, where it's hard to extract useful information. DarkBERT can also help detect and classify different types of criminal activity on the Dark Web and find important threat information

ChatGPT-5 Is Powerful and Fast, But It Can’t Replace Software Engineers!

  As someone who’s been following tech closely for over a decade, I’ve seen countless innovations come and go but few have stirred as much excitement and debate as ChatGPT. ChatGPT has developed, and launch ChatGPT 5, it genuinely seems that the enhancements have significantly slowed down. Previous iterations led to significant advancements in AI capabilities, particularly in assisting with coding. However, the enhancements now seem minor and somewhat gradual. It feels as though we’re experiencing diminishing returns in the extent to which these models improve at truly substituting real coding tasks. The vast majority of people say that AI is going to replace software engineers very soon. Yes, AI can perform simple activities and support routine activities, but where there are intricate things like planning the system, tackling more challenging problems, grasping actual business needs, and collaboration with others, it hasn't been able to catch up yet. T hese require creativity...

Security Flaw in India's Income Tax Portal Exposes Sensitive Taxpayer Data

A major security vulnerability in India's income tax filing portal has been fixed, TechCrunch reported. The flaw, discovered by security researchers Akshay CS and "Viral" in September, allowed logged-in users to access real-time personal and financial information of other taxpayers. This included sensitive details such as full names, home addresses, email addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers and bank account information. Exposed Aadhaar numbers of individuals The security flaw in the income tax filing portal also exposed Aadhaar numbers, a unique government-issued identification number used for identity verification and accessing government services. TechCrunch verified the data by allowing researchers to search its records on the portal. The researchers confirmed on October 2 that the vulnerability had been patched. Discovery process Researchers found bug while filing tax returns The researchers found the security flaw while filing their recent income tax return on...

Beware of Fake Starlink Mini Messages: Satellite internet is not free in India.

    A viral message is making the rounds on WhatsApp and social media in India, claiming to offer zero monthly fees and unlimited internet  via a device called   Starlink Mini.While the offer may sound tempting but it is completely misleading and has been flagged by the Indian government as unauthorized and false. Starlink Is Not Yet Operational in India As of June 2025 The satellite internet service by Elon Musk’s SpaceX has not launched its commercial operations in India. Although the company has received a Letter of Intent from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), it still requires key regulatory approvals including: 1.Spectrum allocation 2.Clearance from IN-SPACE (Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre) Until these approvals are granted, no official Starlink services including Starlink Mini are available in India. Once Starlink gets the green light to operate in India, here’s what consumers can realistically expect: Monthly ...
