    Google has open sourced its privacy-focused age verification technology.

    The company built Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) into Google Wallet earlier this year, a technology that allows users to verify their age across different apps and platforms without linking it to their identity.

    Google has now put the ZKP codebase on GitHub so developers can use it to build more private apps and tools. Countries in the EU can also use it to build digital wallets, which are set to launch next year.

    Salt Typhoon telecom hackers are “not actively infiltrating information.”

    That’s according to FBI Cyber division head Brett Leatherman, who told Cyberscoop that the China-linked hackers are “largely contained” and “dormant” in telecom networks.

    Last year, The Wall Street Journal found that Chinese hackers targeted US officials in a breach of major telecom providers, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Lumen Technologies. Cybersecurity officials later recommended that Americans use encrypted apps to make calls and send texts.

    Netflix wants to add even more reality and competition shows.

    The streaming service has considered working with Spotify on “a number of projects such as music awards or a live concert series,” according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. Netflix has also reportedly weighed airing celebrity interviews and documentaries about recent events.

    The streamer has already started to build out its library with original, unscripted shows, which include its upcoming Star Search reboot, Building the Band, Love Is Blind, and the newly announced What’s in the Box with Neil Patrick Harris.
