Buglioni eyes 'one-sided' fight

© Morpheus Bulletin

Frank Buglioni is expecting a comfortable win on Saturday night before he looks to move on to world honours.

Buglioni, 28, will defend his British light-heavyweight title against Summers at London's O2 Arena, live on Sky Sports.

Buglioni weighed in at 12st 6lbs 4oz, slightly lighter than challenger Summers, but both well inside the light-heavyweight limit.

Buglioni will not under-estimate his opponent and said: "He's a good fighter. I've seen him, he does the basics well.

"He is unbeaten in 13 but he has not stepped up to the bigger stage and that is what you are going to see now. You are going to see the difference between myself and Ricky Summers.

"I have had that big fight experience, I have thrived under the pressure and the big occasions. We are going to see if he sinks or swims and I am going to make sure he sinks.

"My head movement is better, I am hitting harder. I believe it is going to be one-sided."

However, Summers was also in an upbeat mood on the eve of the bout.

He said: "I wouldn't be here if I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have taken the fight.

"I am ready now to step up and, after Frank's out the way, any other light heavyweight in the country can have a bit of me."

A cracking night of action also features Joshua Buatsi, who will finally lace up the gloves in the professional ranks having excelled at last summer's Rio Olympics, winning a bronze medal.

The talented 24-year-old light-heavyweight will no doubt want to make a big impression on his professional bow and he will be taking on Carlos Mena over six rounds.

Watch Frank Buglioni against Ricky Summers this Saturday night, with Joshua Buatsi, Conor Benn, Lawrence Okolie, Ted Cheeseman and Reece Bellotti also in action at The 02, from 7.30pm on Sky Sports 1.

Tesla cloud account hacked to mine cryptocurrency

© Provided by The Hill An unidentified outside hacker infiltrated Tesla's Amazon cloud account and used its systems to quietly mine for cryptocurrencies, a cybersecurity firm announced Tuesday. The hack also potentially exposed the electric car company's data. Researchers for RedLock found that Tesla's credentials on an IT administrative console were not password protected. They made the discovery while trying to track down which organizations had left their Amazon Web Services (AWS) credentials openly exposed on the internet last month. The hackers quietly hijacked the console and began running scripts to generate virtual currency like bitcoin, the latest in a series of "cryptojacking" attacks. The researchers also found the hackers used "sophisticated evasion measures" to go undetected. A spokesperson for Tesla said the company learned about the breach in a company-sanctioned bug bounty program that pays outside hackers to discover vulnerabilitie...

You can pay at a restaurant by smiling at a camera

© Provided by Engadget As easy as it is to make purchases in the era of tap-to-pay services , it's about to get easier still. Alipay (which handles purchases for Chinese shopping giant Alibaba) has launched what it says is the first payment system that uses facial recognition to complete the sale. If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...
