A new mass malware campaign is infecting users with a cryptocurrency miner named SilentCryptoMiner by masquerading it as a tool designed to circumvent internet blocks and restrictions around online services.

Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky said the activity is part of a larger trend where cybercriminals are increasingly leveraging Windows Packet Divert (WPD) tools to distribute malware under the guise of restriction bypass programs.

“Such software is often distributed in the form of archives with text installation instructions, in which the developers recommend disabling security solutions, citing false positives,” researchers Leonid Bezvershenko, Dmitry Pikush, and Oleg Kupreev said. “This plays into the hands of attackers by allowing them to persist in an unprotected system without the risk of detection.”

The world of wireless communications is on the brink of a major leap forward. With 6G promising blazing speeds and near-zero latency, the future of connectivity is closer than ever. However, harnessing terahertz waves—which could deliver these unmatched data rates—has been hampered by interference issues. A team of researchers has now turned the tide with a revolutionary electromagnetic absorber.

You can talk to an AI chatbot about pretty much anything, from help with daily tasks to the problems you may need to solve. Its answers reflect the human data that taught it how to act like a person; but how human-like are the latest chatbots, really?

As people turn to AI chatbots for more of their internet needs, and the bots get incorporated into more applications from shopping to health care, a team of researchers sought to understand how AI bots replicate human , which is the ability to understand and share another person’s feelings.

A study posted to the arXiv preprint server and led by UC Santa Cruz Professor of Computational Media Magy Seif El-Nasr and Stanford University Researcher and UCSC Visiting Scholar Mahnaz Roshanaei, explores how GPT-4o, the latest model from OpenAI, evaluates and performs empathy. In investigating the main differences between humans and AI, they find that major gaps exist.

[TIME SUBJECT TO CHANGE] This is the eighth fully integrated test flight of Starship with its Super Heavy booster, the largest and most powerful rocket to ever fly. This is the second launch of the new Starship upper stage with many tweaks, bringing it closer to full functionality.

If all goes well, Starship will softly splashdown in the Indian Ocean about 66 minutes after it lifts off from Starbase, TX, having performed a Raptor relight test and deploying 4 Starlink mass simulators. SpaceX will hopefully be attempting to catch the Super Heavy booster with the launch tower again, which would be the third catch of the booster.

Want more information on how exactly they’ll catch Super Heavy? WATCH THIS — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAPt5vbr-YU

Programmable metasurfaces (PMs), also sometimes referred to as reconfigurable intelligence surfaces, are smart surfaces that reflect wireless signals, but can also dynamically manipulate electromagnetic waves in real-time. These surfaces are highly advantageous for the development of many cutting-edge technologies, including advanced sensing and wireless communication systems.

Researchers at Southeast University, University of Sannio and Université Paris-Saclay-CNRS showed that a specific PM, known as a space-and-time-coding metasurface, could simultaneously support both sensing and wireless communication.

Their paper, published in Nature Communications, introduces two promising schemes for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) that rely on a space-and-time-coding metasurface they developed.

My short story has been published by White Cat Publications! It features the idea of deliberately kicking off life on other planets by seeding them with engineered microorganisms, potentially leading to new civilizations in the distant future! #sciencefiction

By Logan Thrasher Collins.

“Wait up Jimmy!” Katrina called after her brother as he clambered up the snowy hill towards the launch facility. He turned back to her, cheeks pink and eyes bright. It was a cold clear night. Snowflakes drifted on the breeze, glowing against the light from the facility’s bulbs.

“Sorry Kat. Just excited.” Jimmy held up the capsule containing the bacteria that he and Katrina had engineered using old lab equipment in their parents’ garage after school. They had not yet started high school, so they had taught themselves the rudiments of the biological sciences through books and the internet. After finding the old rocket in the facility and hatching their plan, they had spent many late nights deciphering passages from journal articles and laboratory protocols. At last, they were ready to send their engineered bacteria into outer space.
