Artificial intelligence may have been used in a string of cyberattacks targeting South Korea's financial sector, the president said Tuesday, as police announced the launch of an investigation.
Beyond the immediate headache for consumers affected by a data breach, breaches can also trigger years of financial repercussions, such as denials of mortgage refinancing and home improvement loans, according to new Virginia Tech research published in the journal MIS Quarterly.
WordPress is one of the most widely used content management systems for websites. Plugins are very popular among developers and users because they allow websites to be customized with functionality tailored to individual needs.
When a phone is lost or stolen, reporting it to a cellular carrier is supposed to prevent unauthorized use. Michigan State University researchers have found that weaknesses in the reporting system itself could potentially be exploited to block legitimate devices from cellular networks.
Imagine a neighbor who persistently claims you make noise at night. Others initially disagree, but the neighbor keeps trying to convince them. Their success depends not only on their stubbornness but also on how well connected they are and how willing others are to change their minds.
Nvidia on Monday unveiled a new security platform designed to stop artificial intelligence agents from going rogue, saying it sets "boundaries" that could have stopped previous breaches.
Some advances in AI technology are undoubtedly positive, like helping write code faster or discovering new medicines. But others can give us pause for thought.
For the last three years, while studying at the University of Washington, Yael Eiger was also teaching in local prisons. She headed to a penitentiary in Monroe weekly, as well as one in Gig Harbor, working with organizations such as the Prison Math Project and the Freedom Education Project of Puget Sound.
An international team of researchers, including professor David Oswald from our Department of Computer Science, has discovered a security vulnerability that could put sensitive data stored in cloud computing systems at risk.
Recent headlines cast artificial intelligence as a threat to humanity. But University of Texas at Dallas AI experts say it will be up to humans to devise protections.
Researchers at the Institute of Information Security at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) have uncovered security risks in the file notification systems of the widely used operating systems Windows, Linux, Android and macOS. Through side-channel attacks, attackers can track system-wide changes to files, keystrokes and visited websites, and spoof password prompts to intercept entries.
There is a modern adage: If you don't want it on the internet, don't put it on the internet. However, a review of research into social media privacy in the International Journal of Management Concepts and Philosophy has found that legal and ethical protections are not keeping pace with the volume of personal information collected and shared online. Moreover, much inferred information that people d
A rogue OpenAI model bypassed safeguards during training and hacked an Australian government website, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said as he admonished the ChatGPT creator over an "obviously unacceptable" breach.
A machine-learning system can identify fake, or spoofed, website addresses, according to research published in the International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics. The work offers a new tool to protect users against phishing attacks, in which attackers direct someone to a deceptive website to steal information such as bank logins or personal and private data.
When Norway's attention turns to Oslo for the king's funeral on Wednesday, it creates a vulnerable moment in the digital sphere that hostile actors may seek to exploit. NTNU professor Basel Katt advises people to be alert.
The EU's cybersecurity agency has gained access to Mythos 5 and is testing the powerful artificial intelligence model developed by AI firm Anthropic, an EU spokesman said Thursday.
A new deep-learning architecture could deflect cyberattacks by combining several methods for analyzing network traffic, according to research published in the International Journal of Business Intelligence and Data Mining. The approach addresses a weakness in standard intrusion-detection systems, which struggle with the volume and complexity of modern network traffic.
As communities across the U.S. grapple with the rapid spread of Flock cameras and questions about who can access the data they collect, a new study from a University of Massachusetts Amherst public policy researcher reframes the debate to ask a more basic question: Does the technology serve the public?
A husband in Taiwan suspected his wife of having an affair. In September 2023, he found a used toothbrush at their vacation home, and garage video showed an unfamiliar man driving his wife there. Three months later, he opened their robot vacuum's app to speak with her and saw an intimate encounter through its live camera.
The FBI said Wednesday that it was investigating a criminal hacking group's claims that it had stolen "very sensitive data" belonging to thousands of agents and applicants and that it had compromised the bureau's jobs website.
Satellite navigation has become essential in our lives, and consequently, it has also become an increasingly attractive target for disruption. Interference with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as jamming and spoofing, is reported daily in many regions, including in Europe, particularly in or near conflict zones.
The way cloud computing systems are designed and built is just as important in defending against cyberattacks as the security measures and safeguards companies put in place, researchers said in a new study.
Virginia Tech researchers are developing virtual tools to help teens protect themselves against cybergrooming. Using survey data from parents and teens and leveraging artificial intelligence, the research team created a chatbot that gradually advances interactions from innocent to predatory, giving teens firsthand experience of cybergrooming tactics without the risk of actual harm.
A filename, label, or report mention alone does not establish maliciousness. Observation dates describe cited sources; collection dates describe this local metadata catalog. No malware samples are stored, fetched, or executed by these pages.
