The research by web exposure management specialist Reflectiz reveals several alarming findings about the high number of website vulnerabilities organizations across many industries are needlessly exposing themselves to.

For the report, Reflectiz gathered its own proprietary data from the top 100 websites (according to number of site visits) in each industry, so the fact that close to half of all third-party apps in such a large sample are gathering sensitive user data when they don't need to comes as a surprise.
The realization that this practice is so widespread will cause many website owners to wonder what other surprises might be lurking in their web ecosystems and how large their web exposure footprint really is. If there's one thing that owners in any industry can take away from this report it's that they are almost guaranteed to have unexpected unresolved vulnerabilities of their own. (And the chart strongly suggests that they will….)](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/113/906/078/350/226/830/original/81da6f713ec57574.png "[ImageSource: reflectiz.com]

The chart, taken from the report, shows that there is variation between industries when it comes to apps that can access sensitive user data. With that in mind, companies working in the Entertainment and Online Retail sectors may want to pay extra attention to how many of their apps are accessing sensitive data unnecessarily and increasing their web exposure.
If you aren't familiar with the term web exposure, it was coined by Gartner to describe the range of risks that modern websites face because they connect with dozens of essential third-party apps, CDN repositories and open source tools that help with tracking and functionality tasks. Each one increases the size of the attack surface and is a potential target for malicious actors, but although website owners cannot avoid using these connected assets, they can take steps to make each one safer. Checking that the third-party apps aren't needlessly accessing user’s sensitive personal, financial and health information is a good place to start for a quick win, but the report reveals many others.](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/113/906/078/809/673/581/original/797ea16c23e2e758.png "[ImageSource: reflectiz.com]

"X's reach has dropped considerably. The platform's nature has become unpredictable and an instrument of a certain kind of policy. As a university, we want to participate in a #democratic and constructive debate that includes appreciating #science and #research. Now #X does not seem to offer such a platform," says Marja Jokinen, Director of Communications at the University of Oulu.

Learning to think critically and discern truth from lies is an important life skill, but many people don’t harness the ability, nor take the time. They believe whatever they hear, see, and read because someone, somewhere, said so. While most of the time, it flies without harm, but many times it can be harmful or outright dangerous.

They justify this step with the systematic lack of moderation on the platform, which has resulted in a flood of hate speech, disinformation and cyberbullying.

Ongoing #Evolution of #MERS-CoV, #Saudi Arabia, 2023–2024
Source: Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/31/1/24-1030_article
Abstract
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) circulates in dromedary camels in the Arabian Peninsula and occasionally causes spillover infections in humans. MERS-CoV diversity is poorly understood because of the lack of sampling during the COVID-19 pandemic. We collected 558 swab samples from dromedary camels in Saudi Arabia during November 2023–January 2024. We found 39% were positive for MERS-CoV RNA by reverse transcription PCR. We sequenced 42 MERS-CoVs and 7 human 229E-related coronaviruses from camel swab samples by using high-throughput sequencing. Sequences from both viruses formed monophyletic clades apical to recently available genomes. MERS-CoV sequences were most similar to B5 lineage sequences and harbored unique genetic features, including novel amino acid polymorphisms in the spike protein. Further characterization will be required to understand their effects. MERS-CoV spillover into humans poses considerable public health concerns. Our findings indicate surveillance and phenotypic studies are needed to identify and monitor MERS-CoV pandemic potential.
