5 Most Common API Errors and How to Fix Them

As software got more complex, more and more software projects rely on API integrations to run. Some of the most common API use cases involve pulling in external data that’s crucial to the function of your application. This includes weather data, financial data, or even syncing with another service your customer wants to share data with. However, the risk with API development lies in the interaction with code you didn’t write—and usually cannot see—that needs debugging.

Defending the Internet of Things from hackers and viruses

The 2010 Stuxnet malicious software attack on a uranium enrichment plant in Iran had all the twists and turns of a spy thriller. The plant was air gapped (not connected to the internet) so it couldn’t be targeted directly by an outsider. Instead, the attackers infected five of the plant’s partner organizations, hoping that an engineer from one of them would unknowingly introduce the malware to the network via a thumb drive.

Using AI/ML to Increase Gaming Monetization

The culprit is often gaming monetization issues that get in the way of what would otherwise be a long-term rewarding gaming experience.
