RETHINKING ASYNC LOOPS IN JAVASCRIPT

Using `await` within JavaScript loops, specifically `for` loops and `map()` functions, when dealing with asynchronous operations, has some pitfalls. Using `await` in a `for` loop results in sequential execution, while `map()` doesn't inherently wait for promises to resolve. Instead, it's better to use `Promise.all()` with `map()` for parallel execution, but this has "fail-fast" behavior, so alternatives like `Promise.allSettled()` or inline error handling are better.

131 CHROME EXTENSIONS CAUGHT HIJACKING WHATSAPP WEB FOR MASSIVE SPAM CAMPAIGN

Socket researchers discovered 131 malicious Chrome extensions with over 20,000 active users that inject code into WhatsApp Web to automate bulk spam campaigns targeting Brazilian users. The extensions, marketed as CRM tools with names like “YouSeller” and “ZapVende,” share identical codebases and are distributed through a franchise model operated by DBX Tecnologia, violating Google's Chrome Web Store policies. The nine-month campaign aims to bypass WhatsApp's rate limits and anti-spam controls by automating message sending without user confirmation.

BLOCKCHAIN.COM HAS HELD TALKS TO GO PUBLIC VIA SPAC

Blockchain.com has held talks about going public via a SPAC listing with Cohen & Company Capital Markets advising on a potential deal, though it's unclear if discussions are ongoing. The crypto exchange and wallet provider's valuation history shows significant volatility, rising from $5.2 billion post-money valuation in March 2021 to $14 billion in 2022 before declining to $7 billion in November 2023's $110 million funding round. The company is signaling progress by appointing former Goldman Sachs executive Justin Evans as CFO and ex-Point72 portfolio manager Mike Wilcox as COO.

HOW SAM ALTMAN TIED TECH'S BIGGEST PLAYERS TO OPENAI

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman went on a dealmaking blitz to achieve his vision of securing seemingly endless computing power for his company. He played the egos of Silicon Valley's giants, resulting in a game of financial one-upmanship that has tied the fates of the world's biggest semiconductor and cloud companies to OpenAI. Vast swaths of the US economy are now betting on the success of a startup that is nowhere near turning a profit and facing a mounting list of business challenges. Investors don't seem to be bothered, as the stock prices of companies that have made deals with OpenAI have soared.
