The National Security Agency of the United States has released a 'Smartphone Security Guide' advising users on how to prevent hacker attacks. With smartphones becoming increasingly essential in daily life, they are also attractive targets for cybercriminals. The NSA suggests rebooting your phone at least once a week to lower the risk of hacker attacks, as hackers can exploit zero-click vulnerabilities to infiltrate devices without user interaction. While rebooting may not block all attacks, it can raise the level of difficulty for hackers, along with other tips like avoiding public Wi-Fi, clearing Wi-Fi connection records, disabling Bluetooth and GPS when not in use, avoiding unknown links in messages, setting strong passwords, or using biometric unlocking for device security.

A decrease in natural gas prices is leading to increased adoption of LNG-powered trucks and ships in China, moving the country further away from reliance on oil. As one in three new heavy-duty trucks sold in China in April was powered by LNG, a significant increase from the previous year, similar trends are observed in the maritime sector in Singapore. The appeal of LNG as an alternative to oil in long-distance transport has been enhanced by sustained low prices, leading to expectations that LNG will continue to replace diesel and gasoline consumption in China. While the shift to electric vehicles is decarbonizing light transport, LNG is gaining traction due to factors such as better fuel efficiency, greener emissions, and cost competitiveness compared to diesel.
