Gartner analysts issued a call to action to bolster defenses against several emerging critical threats, such as deepfakes and prompt injections.
Researchers at EPFL have developed a chip-scale ultrafast laser that performs on par with traditional tabletop femtosecond lasers. The innovation could make advanced laser technologies far smaller, cheaper, and more accessible for applications ranging from medical diagnostics to atomic clocks.
Organizations are growing serious about which nation's rules apply to their data. Experts point to geopolitical tensions as a main contributing factor.
Researchers have discovered how microscopic imperfections and atomic vibrations can be used to control a powerful quantum effect in an advanced material. The effect can turn alternating electrical signals from the environment directly into the kind of current electronic devices need, without traditional components. As temperature changes, the signal can even flip direction, giving scientists a…
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered unusual chemistry in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, including the first direct detection of methane on a visitor from another star system. The comet also contains exceptionally high levels of carbon dioxide, making it unlike most comets born in our solar system. Scientists believe the methane was hidden beneath the surface and only emerged after solar…
Despite broadly connected digital infrastructure, standard fare TTPs are enough to cause trouble for Afghanistan's porous cybersecurity.
Python scripts were used to test malware against endpoint detection and response agents from Sophos, CrowdStrike, and Windows Defender.
China-linked espionage groups have attacked at least a dozen nations in the region, gathering information on maritime shipping, oil production, and other geopolitical interests.
Cyber insurance coverage is slowly changing, and some policies may not provide coverage for social engineering attacks like ClickFix.
A disabled security setting meant to protect authentication across Android versions of key apps like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel paved the way for attackers to steal logins and data.
New graduates’ careers are unfolding in an era when AI is not optional. The most successful engineers treat artificial intelligence as leverage, not competition. Here are seven tips to help keep young professionals in demand no matter how quickly the field’s tools evolve. 1. Master the fundamentals first. AI tools can help you code, but you still need strong fundamentals in: Data structures and…
June's night sky delivers several must-see events, starting with a close encounter between Venus and Jupiter after sunset. Mercury joins the pair to form a rare three-planet lineup, while the Moon puts on a special show by passing in front of Venus for viewers in parts of the Americas. The month also marks the start of astronomical summer and the return of spectacular deep-sky targets like the…
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory recreated part of the intense chaos inside a nuclear fireball to better understand how radioactive fallout forms. Their experiments revealed that the way vaporized materials cool can dramatically change the particles that eventually form, especially for volatile elements like cesium.
A prompt injection flaw in Google Gemini's voice assistant let attackers hide malicious commands in notifications, enabling social engineering and more.
Researchers discovered a way to reverse the direction of energy flow in turbulence, challenging a theory that has stood for more than 80 years. The finding could open new possibilities for controlling ocean currents, improving medical technologies, and enhancing climate forecasting.
This sponsored article is brought to you by Black & Veatch . The biggest challenge facing utilities today isn’t what it seems. It’s not demand, even as load growth accelerates. It’s not extreme weather, even as “major events” become routine. It’s not cybersecurity, even as connections expand across the grid. The real challenge is this: Distribution systems were designed for a different reality.…
A threat actor got a near-continuous view into an influential finance executive's email inbox, thanks to clever use of legitimate, native Windows tools.
Zoom CISO Sandra McLeod discusses the challenges of securing a global communication platform, the promise of AI-driven security workflows, and her advice for aspiring cybersecurity leaders.
Once targeting just Microsoft 365, the phishing-as-a-service platform now aims at AWS, Okta, and Russian platforms, while relying on device code phishing.
