Les négociateurs du Parlement et du Conseil européens sont parvenus à un accord concernant la réglementation de l'intelligence artificielle. L'approche basée sur les risques, à la base du projet, est confirmée. Des compromis sont censés garantir la protection contre les risques liés à l’IA, tout en encourageant l’innovation.
Bluetooth Trackers Exploited for Geolocation in Organised CrimeBluetooth trackers, commonly used for locating personal items and vehicles, have become an unexpected tool in organised crime, according to recent findings reported by Europol in an Early Warning Notification. Typically designed for purposes such as finding lost keys or preventing vehicle theft, Bluetooth trackers are now being leveraged by criminals for geo-locating...
Days after a data breach allowed hackers to steal 6.9 million 23andMe users' personal details, the genetic testing company changed its terms of service to prevent customers from formally suing the firm or pursuing class-action lawsuits against it.
Why it matters: It's unclear if 23andMe is attempting to retroactively shield itself from lawsuits alleging it acted negligently.
It’s been one year since the launch of ChatGPT, and since that time, the market has seen astonishing advancement of large language models (LLMs). Despite the pace of development continuing to outpace model security, enterprises are beginning to deploy LLM-powered applications. Many rely on guardrails implemented by model developers to prevent LLMs from responding to sensitive prompts. However, even with the considerable time and effort spent by the likes of OpenAI, Google, and Meta, these guardrails are not resilient enough to protect enterprises and their users today. Concerns surrounding model risk, biases, and potential adversarial exploits have come to the forefront.
In this vulnerability disclosure report, we discuss details of 5Ghoul – a family of implementation-level 5G vulnerabilities. Such a family of vulnerabilities are present in the firmware implementation of 5G mobile network modems from major chipset vendors i.e., Qualcomm and MediaTek. Consequently, many 5G-capable commercial products such as smartphones, Customer-premises Equipment (CPE) routers and USB modems are potentially impacted due to the employment of vulnerable 5G modems in such products. In total, we have found 12 new vulnerabilities (14 total), out of which 10 affect 5G modems from Qualcomm and MediaTek. More importantly, three of these ten vulnerabilities are confirmed to have high severity. We also wrote a scraper to send crafted queries to https://www.kimovil.com/en/ and to have an estimate on the number of smartphone models affected due to these vulnerabilities. We found over 710 smartphone models that are currently in the market to be affected. We emphasize that the actual number of affected models might be more, as firmware code is often shared across different modem versions. In this disclosure report, we also demonstrate the exploitation of 5Ghoul vulnerabilities to drop and freeze 5G connection on smartphones and CPE routers. We also show downgrade attacks across multiple smartphones that result in downgrading the 5G connection to 4G.
The Russia-based actor Star Blizzard (formerly known as SEABORGIUM, also known as Callisto Group/TA446/COLDRIVER/TAG-53/BlueCharlie) continues to successfully use spear-phishing attacks against targeted organizations and individuals in the UK, and other geographical areas of interest, for information-gathering activity.
The UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the US National Security Agency (NSA), the US Cyber National Mission Force (CNMF), the Australian Signals Directorate’s Australian Cyber Security Centre (ASD’s ACSC), the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), and the New Zealand National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-NZ) assess that Star Blizzard is almost certainly subordinate to the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) Centre 18.
