Artificial Intelligence (AI) has ceased to be an exclusive tool of innovation and has become the new engine of cyberattacks. Currently, criminals are accelerating data extraction through advanced machine learning models, turning cybercrime or fraud into a systematic process that no longer depends on chance. Faced with this reality, citizens must evolve from spectators to protected users.

Carlos López, support and training manager at ESET Venezuela, warns that the human factor remains the most critical point. “Of every ten news stories circulating, eight are fake. We must remain vigilant and constantly investigate, as the foundation of every cyberattack is social engineering.”

The value of “corporate gold”

Although technology changes, the attack vector remains: “They seek to manipulate the user into participating in their game,” López points out. Phishing through emails, links, and messages with tempting offers continues to be the primary method for capturing personal data through a single mistaken click.

In the corporate environment, global interconnectedness demands a strategic vision. López emphasizes that the landscape has definitively changed with the post-pandemic virtual acceleration. “Organizations must prioritize cybersecurity when managing payroll, cloud services, and vendors. Once the damage occurs, it is irreversible,” the ESET representative asserted.

Legislative challenges and critical digital prevention measures

“In Venezuela, it is imperative to move towards data protection legislation. If you contract a service, the company must be responsible for the integrity of that information, which represents the company’s most valuable asset. The theft of IT assets not only fuels cybercrime but can also benefit larger-scale criminal organizations.”

To avoid becoming a victim of scams, the recommendation is to always be skeptical and implement technological controls. Protecting devices and using two-factor authentication are fundamental measures, since compromising initial access is always the attacker’s primary objective.

At Bancamiga, cybersecurity is a core pillar of business continuity and its reputation. In an ecosystem where trust is the most valuable asset, protecting data integrity is a strategic business imperative.

For Sergio Saggese, Executive Director of Technology, Processes, and Information Security at Bancamiga, digital transformation is a change in business models and a necessity to compete in today’s markets. However, the accelerated pace of digital transformation has broadened the scope of exposure to cyberattacks. These attacks are perpetrated in a highly sophisticated manner, primarily aimed at blocking critical operations to demand ransoms, using techniques that employ Artificial Intelligence to emulate voices or legitimate banking platforms.

During the conference “Managing the Digital Age: Cybersecurity Implications for Businesses,” delivered this Wednesday to students at Monteávila University, Saggese stated that attacks occur daily and companies must protect themselves. It is essential to understand that there are threats and what those threats are.

“Cybercrime takes advantage of human error, whether by action or omission, misconfigurations, and vulnerable code. There are targeted attacks that utilize third-party connections and interconnected devices, which serve as entry points to internal networks. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,” he indicated.

He expressed that digital transformation is inevitable to offer agile, personalized, and competitive services that are securely structured from the design stage on four pillars: cloud adoption, AI, the Internet of Things, and data analytics.

For Bancamiga’s CEO, Sergio Saggese, the question today isn’t “whether we will be attacked,” but rather “how quickly will we detect, respond to, and recover from an attempted attack?”

To protect an organization, it’s necessary to shift from a reactive approach to a proactive and defensive stance. The starting point should be “never trust, always verify.” Every access request, whether from inside or outside the network, must be constantly authenticated, authorized, and validated. Continuous training for employees and partners, with content tailored to the customer experience, is also key. It’s essential to strengthen monitoring capabilities and prepare for the moment of an attack.

Saggese maintained that there must be a comprehensive and holistic process for managing cybersecurity, and this is where the focus on cyber resilience —an organization’s ability to anticipate, resist, confront, and recover from adverse cyberattacks— becomes crucial.

“It’s about strengthening the company’s capacity to resist and respond. Cybersecurity isn’t just about resisting, but about navigating the storm.”

The conference attendees, mostly first-year engineering students, expressed their gratitude with words and applause for the concepts presented by Saggese, recognizing their contribution to their holistic development.

On April 9, the governments of Venezuela and Russia signed an agreement that includes a robust professional training program, geared towards biotechnological autonomy, with technology transfer for the local production of insulin and other essential biological products for the public health system.

“The alliance between the Russian pharmaceutical company Geropharm and the Ministry of People’s Power for Health focuses on modernizing the Socialist Enterprise for the Production of Biological Medicines (Espromed BIO).”

The main objective of the agreement is to guarantee the supply of medicines, as well as to transform Venezuela into a regional biotechnology production center. The agreement will have two phases:

• Supply Guarantee: Direct import of ready-to-use insulin from St. Petersburg to meet the immediate demand of the public healthcare system.
• Technology Transfer: Adaptation and modernization of Espromed BIO’s installations for the independent manufacturing of vials, cartridges, and injection pens within Venezuela.

“Beyond infrastructure, the agreement includes a robust professional training program. Specialists from both countries have already begun refresher seminars at the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM), addressing critical topics such as integrated diabetes management and the use and application of biosimilar medications.”

The meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping, originally planned for March, will now take place in Beijing on May 14 and 15. The two leaders will discuss key issues such as trade, technology, security, and the Middle East conflict.

The two leaders met last October in South Korea. According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, “the new date coincides with estimates that the Iran war could end within four to six weeks, although the Chinese government has called for an immediate cessation of attacks and warned that the conflict could spiral out of control.”

Another topic the leaders will discuss is “coordinating positions regarding the war in Ukraine, in an international context marked by geopolitical tensions and trade disputes.”

The US president considered the meeting “momentous” and indicated that he will later receive Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, at the White House.

El Salvador, a Central American country that embraces cryptocurrencies, recently unveiled the Satoshi Army art exhibition, showcasing 45 statues that symbolize the union of local culture, national identity, technology, and contemporary art.

The Satoshi Army exhibit “was presented by Satoshigallery at the El Salvador Art Museum, also known as the Marte Museum, with an arrangement reminiscent of China’s historic Terracotta Army.”

The statues in the exhibition are the work of artist Valentina Picozzi. They are made of transparent metal and measure approximately 45 x 30 x 40 cm. This creates “a visual effect of disappearance that directly alludes to Nakamoto’s anonymity.”

The proposal doesn’t focus solely on aesthetics, but rather seeks to convey a collective message about the importance of Bitcoin and virtual assets in general.

Satoshi Nakamoto, beyond the crypto market

Satoshigallery posted on X social media: “The work explores the tension between individual creation and collective movement. Satoshi Nakamoto built Bitcoin in solitude. But millions of people built the ecosystem that gave it meaning. Anonymity doesn’t seem to be a mystery to be solved; it could be an invitation to explore our collective identity.”

Tomorrow we open Satoshi Army at Museo Marte, the leading art museum in El Salvador.

The exhibition features 45 iconic transparent Satoshi statues.

"We Are All Satoshi."

Social media and digital work tools are part of daily life in all segments of society. Adults and young people spend hours connected to screens, and it might be a good time to set a goal for 2026 to change these habits for healthier ones.

In this sense, some therapists talk about living as if you don’t have cell service, referring to the need for breaks in the use of digital devices to enjoy human contact with your partner, children, relatives, and friends, or even alone.

What’s the goal? To reclaim and enjoy quality time without your phone in your hands. And all it would take is a few changes in usage patterns, like putting your phone on airplane mode during meals, or turning it off if you go to the movies or a play.

The benefits of interacting with other people are invaluable. Chatting face to face instead of scrolling on your phone screen, or sharing opinions about a recently seen movie instead of reading reviews online. Also, going to a physical box office to buy tickets for a game instead of online, spending the day at the mall window shopping and enjoying dessert instead of online shopping and home delivery; these are moments to share, disconnect from technology, and feel human warmth.

Generation Z, that is, people born approximately between 1997 and 2012, are digital natives. Therefore, it’s assumed that their gift preferences during this time of year lean towards smartphones and other digital devices. When ChatGPT was asked about this, the response confirmed it.

The list of best gifts for young people in Generation Z, according to artificial intelligence estimates, include:

Smart LED Lights

To achieve an “aesthetic” decoration and thus transform the bedroom into a modern, functional, and visually appealing space. Ideal for studying, relaxing, recording content, or taking photos. These types of lights “help create unique atmospheres and reflect the importance that aesthetics hold for Generation Z.”

Wireless headphones with noise cancellation

For this generation, they are essential for listening to music, attending virtual classes, making video calls, or playing games, without losing concentration for a second, even in noisy environments.

Portable chargers

Fast-charging power banks with a compact design are the most sought-after by Generation Z to stay connected.

Instant or retro digital cameras

For lovers of vintage photography, instant cameras are ideal for more authentic and special results for decorating. They are also great for creating scrapbooks or treasuring tangible memories.

Urban fashion as a channel of expression

Streetwear or athleisure is ideal for these digital natives, who love clothing that allows them to express themselves. These “comfortable, urban, and versatile” pieces, such as hoodies, tracksuits, sneakers, and retro clothing, keep up with their daily routine and reflect their personal style.

Sustainable products

Eco-friendly fashion has resonated strongly with Generation Z, who feel that reusing and recycling contributes to protecting the environment. They will readily accept “thermal bottles, reusable sets, eco-friendly accessories, or vegan products.”

Useful tech gadgets

Generation Z will undoubtedly appreciate a gift related to “smartwatches, smart lamps, phone stands, and charging hubs, which integrate into Gen Z’s digital life, facilitating productivity and merging functionality with design.”

Digital experiences

Subscriptions to music platforms, as well as educational apps or in-person activities, are highly valued, as they help them discover new interests and provide value throughout the year. They will also help them with remote work and multitasking.

Elon Musk’s predictions regarding the disappearance of cash in 10 to 20 years, as well as the obsolescence of cash, are based on upcoming advances in robotics and artificial intelligence.

According to the owner of X, Tesla, and SpaceX, among other companies, in one or two decades AI will be present in all sectors and industries, automating everything. Therefore, people will no longer need to go to an office or factory; that will be optional.

Regarding cash, with the rise of e-commerce and, logically, the use of credit and debit cards, biometric identification systems, and contactless payments, fiat money would become obsolete.

While Musk has ventured to make predictions like these in the past, sparking both support and opposition on social media, only time will tell what will happen to the labor market and cash in the coming years, as rapid technological and energy advancements will be required to make such predictions a reality.

Meta announced the company’s recently agreed-upon measure to remove the Facebook “Like” and “Share” buttons from external websites.

The technology company stated that the decision was made following the decline these features have experienced in the face of the evolving digital landscape.

As you may recall, the “Like” button was activated on the Facebook social network in 2010, and “three years later, the technology company brought it to external website posts along with the Share button, with the goal of boosting traffic.”

Both buttons will be deactivated on February 10, 2026, to “maintain a modern and efficient platform.”
