So where do we go now? The researchers said that both the RTX 3060 and RTX 6000 cards are vulnerable. Changing BIOS defaults to enable IOMMU closes the vulnerability, they said. Short for input-output memory management unit, IOMMU maps device-visible virtual addresses to physical addresses on the host memory. It can be used to make… Read More: New Rowhammer attacks give complete control of machines running Nvidia… »
The move, recently proposed by influential researcher Scott Aaronson, is a complete turnaround from the strict 90-day disclosure policies Google’s Project Zero pioneered two decades ago and an accepted norm that has driven security research for even longer. Other researchers are already criticizing the lack of details. “I think it’s alarmist to claim an immediate… Read More: Quantum computers need vastly fewer resources than thought to break… »
Google is dramatically shortening its readiness deadline for the arrival of Q Day, the point at which existing quantum computers can break public-key cryptography algorithms that secure decades’ worth of secrets belonging to militaries, banks, governments, and nearly every individual on earth. In a post published on Wednesday, Google said it is giving itself until… Read More: Google bumps up Q Day deadline to 2029, far sooner… »
In an email, Aikido researcher Charlie Eriksen said the canister was taken down Sunday night and is no longer available. “It wasn’t as reliable/untouchable as they expected,” Eriksen wrote. “But for a while, it would have wiped systems if infected.” Like previous TeamPCP malware, CanisterWorm, as Aikido has named the malware, targets organizations’ CI/CD pipelines… Read More: Self-propagating malware poisons open source software and wipes Iran-based machines »
Hackers have compromised virtually all versions of Aqua Security’s widely used Trivy vulnerability scanner in an ongoing supply chain attack that could have wide-ranging consequences for developers and the organizations that use them. Trivy maintainer Itay Shakury confirmed the compromise on Friday, following rumors and a thread, since deleted by the attackers, discussing the incident.… Read More: Widely used Trivy scanner compromised in ongoing supply-chain attack »
Researchers are warning about the risks posed by a low-cost device that can give insiders and hackers unusually broad powers in compromising networks. The devices, which typically sell for $30 to $100, are known as IP KVMs. Administrators often use them to remotely access machines on networks. The devices, not much bigger than a deck… Read More: Researchers disclose vulnerabilities in IP KVMs from four manufacturers »
The invisible code is rendered with Public Use Areas (sometimes called Public Use Access), which are ranges in the Unicode specification for special characters reserved for private use in defining emojis, flags, and other symbols. The code points represent every letter of the US alphabet when fed to computers, but their output is completely invisible… Read More: Supply-chain attack using invisible code hits GitHub and other repositories »
What else is known about Handala Hack? The group has existed since at least 2023. It takes its name from a character in the political cartoons of Palestinian artist Naji al-Ali. The group’s logo depicts a small Palestinian boy who is a symbol associated with Palestinian resistance. Check Point and other security firms have said… Read More: The who, what, and why of the attack that has… »
Researchers say they have uncovered a takedown-resistant botnet of 14,000 routers and other network devices—primarily made by Asus—that have been conscripted into a proxy network that anonymously carries traffic used for cybercrime. The malware—dubbed KadNap—takes hold by exploiting vulnerabilities that have gone unpatched by their owners, Chris Formosa, a researcher at security firm Lumen’s Black… Read More: 14,000 routers are infected by malware that’s highly resistant to… »
Coruna is also notable for its use by three distinct hacking groups. Google first detected its use in February of last year in an operation conducted by a “customer of a surveillance vendor.” The vulnerability exploited, tracked as CVE-2025-23222, had been patched 13 months earlier. In July 2025, a “suspected Russian espionage group” exploited CVE-2023-43000… Read More: Feds take notice of iOS vulnerabilities exploited under mysterious circumstances »
