Russian military expert Alexander Stepanov states Iran's campaign has rendered US carrier strike groups ineffective due to exposed vulnerabilities, citing the USS Abraham Lincoln's prolonged deployment with little tangible results and crew hardships.
A massive swarm of jellyfish forced EDF to shut down three reactors and limit output at a fourth at France's Gravelines nuclear power plant after clogging seawater cooling systems.
New research reveals security flaws across 15 major x402 payment facilitators like Coinbase and Thirdweb, exposing facilitator assets and allowing 'free shopping' attacks where merchants release services without receiving payment.
Researchers at A Security used AI models in fewer than 20 prompts to discover unauthenticated vulnerabilities in Zoom's screen-sharing protocol, enabling silent device takeovers before patches were deployed.
A Centre for Strategic and International Studies report outlines strategies for the US and allies to threaten Chinese carriers, highlighting undersea vulnerabilities and submarine ambushes.
Bitcoin security researcher and AnchorWatch CEO Rob Hamilton says OpenAI restricted his access while analyzing codebases, forcing him to use open-source Chinese AI models for defensive research.
A volunteer security initiative leveraging frontier AI models to scan Bitcoin repositories has uncovered over a dozen vulnerabilities, according to AnchorWatch CEO Rob Hamilton.
OpenAI pauses work on its Astra AI model due to security concerns after finding the model reached critical thresholds in autonomous coding and cyber vulnerability exploitation without human intervention.
Beijing has launched a cybersecurity review into products sold in China by US technology firm Palo Alto Networks, citing national security and risk prevention.
Security researchers Vangelis Stykas and Felipe Solferini demonstrated at the Black Hat conference that tens of millions of cheap GPS smartwatches and car trackers across dozens of brands rely on just three vulnerable Shenzhen-based supply chains, exposing users to remote tracking, audio eavesdropping, and camera hijacking.
Firmware security expert HD Moore uncovered dozens of critical vulnerabilities in baseboard management controllers from major server manufacturers, leaving thousands of internet-connected and internal enterprise servers exposed to remote exploitation.
Non-custodial Bitcoin swap service Boltz has indefinitely suspended operations, citing a steady rise in automated, AI-assisted cyberattacks and infrastructure probing that outpaced its ability to patch vulnerabilities.
Bitcoin's security faces growing challenges not from cryptography failures, but from vulnerabilities across the custody stack, including hardware bugs, software fallbacks, and the rising capability of AI in finding implementation seams.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola noted defensive issues after a 4-2 pre-season loss to Leeds in Chicago, highlighting the need for reinforcements. The team conceded six goals in three US matches, prompting calls for new signings, especially at centre-back, ahead of the Premier League season.
An analysis argues that Donald Trump's power grabs, characterized by constant scandals, a focus on loyalty over competence, and a spectacle of cruelty, create both autocratic consolidation and significant vulnerabilities, contrasting with 21st-century 'spin dictatorships' like Orbán's and Putin's.
Chinese scientists used satellite imagery to assess damage to US Middle East bases, finding US 'minimal damage' and Iranian 'massive strikes' claims overstated. Analysis published despite US 'shutter control' on high-resolution satellite imagery over conflict zones.
Anthropic's AI model, Claude, discovered two previously unknown attacks on cryptographic algorithms: one against HAWK, a post-quantum digital signature scheme competing for US federal standard status, and another against a research version of AES. The HAWK vulnerability significantly reduces the security margin, potentially impacting its competitiveness due to required key size increases, while the AES attack demonstrates a novel approach though against a non-standard configuration.
The FCC proposes banning imports and sales of new advanced robotic devices and power inverters due to security vulnerabilities, citing risks of data manipulation, surveillance, and foreign intelligence enhancement.
AI companies' strict guardrails, designed to prevent malicious use of their models, are increasingly hindering legitimate cybersecurity researchers and network defenders. This issue, highlighted by US export controls on Anthropic's models, is pushing some researchers toward less regulated, open-source, and potentially foreign-owned AI systems.
