AndroxGh0st Malware Integrates Mozi Botnet to Target IoT and Cloud Services

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, internet

The threat actors behind the AndroxGh0st malware are now exploiting a broader set of security flaws impacting various internet-facing applications, while also deploying the Mozi botnet malware.

“This botnet utilizes remote code execution and credential-stealing methods to maintain persistent access, leveraging unpatched vulnerabilities to infiltrate critical infrastructures,” CloudSEK said in a new report.

AndroxGh0st is the name given to a Python-based cloud attack tool that’s known for its targeting of Laravel applications with the goal of sensitive data pertaining to services like Amazon Web Services (AWS), SendGrid, and Twilio.

Hackers now use ZIP file concatenation to evade detection

Posted by in category: cybercrime/malcode

Hackers are targeting Windows machines using the ZIP file concatenation technique to deliver malicious payloads in compressed archives without security solutions detecting them.

The technique exploits the different methods ZIP parsers and archive managers handle concatenated ZIP files.

This new trend was spotted by Perception Point, who discovered a a concatentated ZIP archive hiding a trojan while analyzing a phishing attack that lured users with a fake shipping notice.

Google says “Enhanced protection” feature in Chrome now uses AI

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, security

Google has quietly updated the description of one of Chrome’s security features, “Enhanced protection,” to confirm that it will be powered by AI in a future release.

It’s unclear what has changed, but as spotted by Leo on X, Google is updating its Enhanced protection mode in Chrome’s Safe Browsing feature to include AI-powered protection.

This feature now uses AI to provide real-time protection against dangerous sites, downloads, and extensions.

Aliens Are Breaking the Laws of Physics to Visit Us on Earth, New Theory Claims

Posted by in categories: alien life, physics

If we take the mortal danger of the “Tic-Tac” UAP maneuvers literally, we need to believe that “these objects suggest a form of physics we have not yet discovered,” says one sci-fi writer.

What Is Quantum AI? Everything to Know About This Far-Out Twist

Posted by in categories: quantum physics, robotics/AI

Artificial intelligence has been infiltrating our daily workflows and routine tasks for while now. It may be AI working in the background, as with Gemini’s integration across Google products, or you may be engaging more directly with popular content generators such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Dall-E. Looming in the not-too-distant future are amped-up virtual assistants.

As if AI itself weren’t futuristic enough, now there’s a whole new leap forward on the horizon: quantum AI. It’s a fusion of artificial intelligence with unconventional and still largely experimental quantum computing into a super-fast and highly efficient technology. Quantum computers will be the muscles, while AI will be the brains.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the basics to help you better understand quantum AI.

Reprogrammed Brain Cells Could Restore Damaged Circuits

Posted by in category: neuroscience

Summary: Scientists have successfully reprogrammed astroglia, a type of brain support cell, into neurons that mimic specific interneurons critical for brain function. By modifying the Ascl1 protein, they increased its efficiency in converting astroglia to neuron-like cells, opening new possibilities for regenerative treatments for brain disorders such as epilepsy.

The engineered neurons exhibit high-frequency firing, a signature of certain interneurons essential for regulating brain activity. This work suggests astroglia could serve as a repair mechanism, allowing us to restore lost or damaged brain circuits.

Are Nearby Planets Sending Radio Signals to Each Other?

Posted by in categories: alien life, futurism

Researchers have developed a new method using the Allen Telescope Array to search for interplanetary radio communication in the TRAPPIST-1 star system.

A new technique allows astronomers to home in on planets beyond our solar system that are in line with each other and with Earth to search for radio signals similar, for example, to ones used to communicate with the rovers on Mars. Penn State astronomers and scientists at the SETI Institute spent 28 hours scanning the TRAPPIST-1 star system for these signs of alien technology with the Allen Telescope Array (ATA). This project marks the longest single-target search for radio signals from TRAPPIST-1. Although the team didn’t find any evidence of extraterrestrial technology, their work introduced a new way to search for signals in the future.

A paper describing the research was accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal and is available online as a preprint.
