A survey by the website Stack Overflow revealed a major thing in the programming environment. For example, Python was recognized as the fastest-growing programming language. In 2019, it surpassed Java, falling into second place in popularity. Rust still has the palm.
The next fact concerns age. It is noted that about half of the respondents wrote their first code at the age of 16.

Unknown hackers used the messenger WhatsApp to spy on human rights activists and journalists in several countries. The NSO Group was suspected of preparing the attacks.
According to some reports, several people in different countries were victims of the attack. Among them was a British lawyer who had previously sued the NSO Group over the phone hacking of a Saudi dissident. The lawyer suspected that his phone had been hacked when WhatsApp received several video calls from Swedish numbers.
At the same time, WhatsApp engineers discovered the vulnerability. It affected the voice calling system.
Cybercriminals took advantage of the messenger breach to embed malicious code on some users' smartphones. A comment from WhatsApp representatives said that the vulnerability was found in the WhatsApp VOIP stack - an attacker could cause a buffer overflow using a series of SRTCP requests.
The virus infiltrated the smartphone during a call, without necessarily accepting an incoming call.
Now the breach in WhatsApp has been fixed, and messenger developers recommend that users install an update to the app.
