Can a thief break into your home through your Wi-Fi?
Hackers often exploit fake games and malicious links to gain entry into children's devices, and since these devices are connected to the Wi-Fi, they can potentially take control of the entire network. Through this access, cybercriminals may even breach your home security systems and surveillance cameras.
Every user should know how to use security features like mac binding , which allows you to restrict access to specific devices and prevent unauthorized users or hackers from connecting. These steps are essential for protecting the cybersecurity of everyday users.
Parents and guardians must take Wi-Fi security seriously. A single oversight can lead to major consequences. Awareness, caution, and proper security measures are the only ways to stay safe from digital threats. Listen to this insightful podcast featuring cybersecurity expert Muhammad Umar Zubair , where he shares valuable tips to protect your home in the digital age.

Unions push for AI protections
Rachel Mealey: As the Commonwealth Bank becomes the first in its industry to publicly attribute job cuts to AI, unions are urgently renewing their push for worker protections. That's prompted a sharp rebuke from industry, saying more regulations will restrict productivity and the goal of AI is efficiency, not job cuts. Isabel Moussalli reports. Isabel Moussalli: The Commonwealth Bank isn't the first company to cut jobs in favour of AI, but the Finance Sector Union says it's the first in its industry to acknowledge it. Joseph Mitchell: Well, it's frankly unjust. Commonwealth Bank has made billions of dollars of profit every year for however many years. Isabel Moussalli: Joseph Mitchell is with the Australian Council of Trade Unions. He's angry that 45 roles will be replaced by a customer service chatbot. Joseph Mitchell: And making them redundant by bringing in AI to replace their jobs is just not fair. Isabel Moussalli: A Commonwealth Bank spokesperson says its investment in technology, including AI, is making it easier and faster for customers to get help, and its priority is to explore opportunities for redeployment and to support affected employees. But Joseph Mitchell says unions will fight mass redundancies from AI. Joseph Mitchell: So we know the most productive way to implement AI in a workplace is through the skilled application of workers. Workers are trained in how to use it. They can make decisions with employers about how it gets used. Isabel Moussalli: The ACTU will call for AI regulations at the Federal Government's Economic Reform Roundtable next month. Joseph Mitchell: We want to see employers required to enter into AI implementation agreements with their staff. That means that employers need to come to their staff with a plan, negotiate with employees and come to a joint agreement about how they're going to implement AI and what are the consequences going to be, with things like guarantees around job security, training and skills development. Isabel Moussalli: But the Australian Industry Group has hit back. Innes Willox: Well, it's kind of ironic because we go into a productivity summit that we have some proposals here that will restrict further productivity growth. Isabel Moussalli: That's Chief Executive Innes Willocks. Innes Willox: There are going to be times where there has to be significant consultation with the workforce and there's going to be other times when they just can't be in business, just has to get on with it. But all the information that we're getting, everything we're seeing and hearing from business is that they're not setting out to use it as a means to cut jobs on the whole. It's really about how to make their business better. Isabel Moussalli: RMIT's Dr. Emmanuelle Walkowiak is an innovation and labour economist specialising in generative AI. She explains the impact on the workforce can't be precisely forecast, but says right now we're in the middle of a massive disruption to the labour market. Emmanuelle Walkowiak: The major impact is through the transformation of jobs themselves. So what we need is really to upskill people. Isabel Moussalli: In a statement, Employment and Workplace Relations Minister Amanda Rishworth acknowledged AI offers significant opportunities to drive economic growth, but also presents challenges, and says the government's been consulting on introducing safeguards for AI. Rachel Mealey: Isabel Moussalli reporting.

Hyundai Inster review finds top contender in compact EV realm
Cheap electric vehicles. For some time that's been an oxymoron. The influx of new Chinese manufacturers and slowing demand has seen the get-in price decline, but now there is a more recognised brand targeting the basement. Hyundai introduced the compact Inster in April that has a range of 327km with a $39,000 retail starting point. That equates to about $43,500 on the road. It's still a steep ask above the BYD Dolphin Essential which is $31,290 drive-away and has a 410km range. There is also the GWM Ora Standard Range which was recently available for $33,990 (310km range), while the MG4 Excite 51 has been down to $37,990 (350km). Hyundai differentiates itself with a strong dealership network and greater brand reputation. Is that enough to sway buyers from the cheaper alternatives? Our family sampled the base model, although there are extended-range derivatives that push the driving capacity to 360km for an extra $3500 along with the 'outdoorsy' Cross version which tops out the Inster range at $45k plus on-roads. What do you get? Plaudits don't much higher than being named 2025 World Electric Vehicle. That included a panel of more than 90 judges from 30 countries who recognised the Inster for its design inside and out. The bare-bones Inster is reflective of its model positioning, with cloth seat trim and liberal use of plastics across the cabin. Raising the quality bar are twin 10.25-inch screens, one a central touchscreen and the other for the driver instruments. Among the other features are a six-speaker stereo with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satnav, along with vehicle-to-load functionality which has a three-pin power point in the front for charging items like laptops, camping equipment, e-scooters and e-bikes. Over-the-air updates can also be undertaken, which means the Inster can get the latest software upgrades without returning to the dealer. That's handy, as servicing is only required every 30,000km or two years. Hyundai offers a prepaid pack of two services for $1310. White, ivory and khaki are all complimentary external colours. Black, yellow and orange add $595. Matt paint options are an extra $1000. Under the floor sits the 42kWh battery, which can be replenished from 10 to 80 per cent using an at-home charger in about four hours. Quicker public chargers would take just under an hour, while a super-fast 120kW one will do it in 30 minutes. We used a standard household power point combined with the provided 10amp charger on our test which proved reasonably quick, taking us from 10-100 per cent in less than 18 hours. How was the drive? Surprisingly adept in varying conditions, a long wheelbase for its size translates to impressive competency on the highway and twisty terrain. On paper the 0-100km/h time of 11.7 seconds looks slow and underwhelming. But the real-world experience is far from pedestrian, with the Inster feeling responsive to acceleration requests and nimble in traffic. Small cars with combustion engines typically feel asthmatic when it comes to hilly terrain, yet the Inster's electric power provided dependable surges up some challenging inclines. Despite its compact dimensions, the Inster has a turning circle of 10.6m. That's better than many vehicles, but given the size it initially felt like it could be tighter (some of our U-turn attempts quickly became three-point turns). Our test saw a thrifty return of 13.2kWh/100km, which was well under the official figure from Hyundai. Most fully electric vehicles we've driven recently are usually well beyond 15kWh/100km. Interior space is also impressive given the dimensions. Four adults can find comfort, with impressive head and knee space for those in the second row. However boot space is limited and we only managed four grocery bags in the boot before requiring the back seat – there is a false floor for additional cargo area. Would you buy one? Kel: Sprightly and distinctive, the Inster regularly induced smiles from onlookers. I enjoyed the drive and loved the exterior styling, especially the circular LED headlights and pixel graphic indicators. The size doesn't suit my demographic, but I could see the appeal for younger EV buyers with $40k to spend or for those who want their second car to be an electric runabout. Grant: When it comes to the bargain basement EVs, you have to look beyond the bottom line. Where the Inster separates itself from the slightly less expensive rivals is performance – it feels more confident and robust on the road than most of the others we have sampled. Sales have been slow and we've seen some Inster demonstrators available with low km for about $37k. For that kind of money it becomes the standout buy in the compact EV realm.
