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.
A sneaky, wide-scale IAB operation uses a malicious traffic distribution system (TDS) to redirect visitors of trusted websites to ones that deliver malware.
China is stealing data from high-value targets via a sneaky, double-layer spear-phishing campaign that includes the Azureveil malware.
High-autonomy agents with broad permissions and unfettered access are a recipe for disaster, and enterprises need to act now before they become the next horror story.
Twenty years after Dark Reading launched, we're looking ahead at what's next for enterprise security. Spoiler: It's hyper-segmented, AI-orchestrated, and way more sophisticated than your dad's firewall.
Astronomers have finally cracked the mystery behind a strange class of repeating cosmic signals that has baffled scientists for years. Using Australia’s ASKAP radio telescope, researchers traced the bursts to a rare stellar duo in which a dense white dwarf is relentlessly siphoning material from a nearby red dwarf companion. As the stolen matter spirals inward, the system unleashes powerful radio…
Direct-to-cell technology uses LEO satellites as spaceborne cell towers. It delivers LTE services to existing smartphones without hardware changes, bridging global coverage gaps. What Attendees will Learn How DTC works as a spaceborne cell tower — LEO satellites carry LTE eNodeB payloads in regenerative mode. How they serve unmodified phones using quasi-earth-fixed multi-beam antennas. How the…
A breakthrough hydrogen-production method could make clean fuel far cheaper and easier to generate. Researchers at the University of Birmingham developed a perovskite-based catalyst that splits water into hydrogen at much lower temperatures than existing technologies, potentially allowing factories, steel plants, cement works, and renewable energy sites to turn waste heat into valuable hydrogen.
Scientists have created a tiny chip that can generate, steer, and read light-based information all in one device, marking a major leap toward ultra-fast, energy-efficient computing. The breakthrough uses atomically thin materials and nanoscale structures to control a unique quantum property of light called the “valley” degree of freedom, allowing information to be encoded in new ways.
The European security agency's entry to Project Glasswing is the result of "strong bilateral cooperation" between the European Commission and Anthropic.
