You know it’s a bad day for cybersecurity when a leading provider of internet firewall services that helps safeguard websites from malicious attacks suffers from a security breach of its own.

The breach, to which it was alerted via an unnamed third party on August 20, included email addresses, and hashed and salted passwords, API keys, and SSL certificates of its customers registered since September 15, 2017. Imperva’s Cloud Web Application Firewall (WAF) — formerly called…

With over 300 million users, Duolingo is arguably the biggest language learning website around. And while it can teach you to parle français and hablar español, the site also offers courses in more esoteric languages, like Klingon, Esperanto, and as of today, Latin. Well, perhaps esoteric isn’t exactly the right word. Although Latin is no longer spoken as a native language, its influence (and relevance) remains strong.

Another Google service bites the dust, and this time it’s Google Hire. The company said it’ll shut down the job tracking system by next year.
