Cyber attacks through the ages impact assessment and defense strategies R. Raman, Hakam Singh, Nilamadhab Mishra, Abhishek Thakur, Ramamani Tripathy, Rudra Kalyan Nayak, Amit Thakur Cryptography Biometrics and Anonymity in Cybersecurity Management, 2025 Digitization in the modern world is increasing, and along with it, Cyber-attacks have become a very big concern for individuals, nations, and organizations. In this research paper, we will dive into multiple factors of cyber-attacks and explore their types, perpetrators, impacts, and motivations in depth. We will dissect the different methodologies employed by cyber adversaries and their vulnerabilities through different case studies of significant incidents that exploit their role in politics, pursuit of financial gain, and ideological agendas. The speedy digitization of contemporary society has brought about the emergence of cyber-assaults as an excessive global chance, with people, agencies, and global locations increasingly at risk of the damaging outcomes of such malicious sports. The cyber chance landscape has advanced appreciably over the past few years, with cyber adversaries using state-of-the-art strategies to compromise virtual structures and attain their nefarious goals.

5G and Human Health: Reviewing the Risks of Cancer and Neurological Disorders S. Sneh, Hakam Singh, Nilamadhab Mishra, Abhishek Thakur, Ramamani Tripathy, Rudra Kalyan Nayak, Amit Thakur Role of Artificial Intelligence in Advancing Applied Life Sciences, 2025 5G generation has raised significant concerns among the overall public and medical network about its potential influences on human health, especially concerning the implicit risk of cancer and neurological disorders. This debate has mainly become contentious, with a few studies claiming that 5G technology poses dangerous outcomes for human health. In contrast, others find no specific affiliation between 5G and human health. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, which might be a pivotal element of 5G networks, as possibly carcinogenic. The paper thoroughly analyses the potential health effects of 5G by examining the scientific literature that has already been published. The review summarizes research findings from several studies, international guidelines, and technological advancements to reduce potential health risks associated with 5G exposure.
