NetNut proxy network disrupted, 2 million infected devices cut off
A joint operation involving Google has disrupted NetNut, a residential proxy network that gave access to millions of compromised Android devices, including smart TVs and streaming boxes.
Also known as Popa, the NetNut botnet allowed cybercriminals and espionage groups to hide behind legitimate home internet addresses when launching attacks.
According to the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), the residential proxy botnet is estimated to comprise at least two million compromised devices.
ARToken PhaaS exposes EvilTokens’ Microsoft 365 phishing toolkit
A new phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform dubbed “ARToken” appears to operate as an affiliate of the EvilTokens phishing platform, giving researchers a glimpse into an extensive toolkit designed to compromise Microsoft 365.
Cisco Talos researchers discovered the platform while investigating phishing infrastructure used in an incident response engagement and identified a React-based management panel called “ARToken Panel” that exposed more than 80 API endpoints.
Reverse engineering the client-side JavaScript code revealed previously undocumented capabilities that extend well beyond what you would normally find in a phishing platform.
An artificial neuromorphic interface for auditory restoration
Hearing loss affects millions of people, requiring technology to repair their auditory pathway. A biohybrid interface is developed that combines a self-powered acoustic device and an artificial auditory neural circuit, enabling restoration of auditory function in a rabbit model of hearing impairment.
Physicists Create an Exotic New Form Of Matter: The ‘Fermi Sea’
At the lowest temperatures in the Universe, physics gets funky.
When atoms are cooled to just above absolute zero (−459.67 degrees Fahrenheit, or-273.15 degrees Celsius), they can conduct electricity without resistance, become ’super-particle’ clouds, or flow without friction and climb up the walls of their containers.
Existence at the smallest, coldest scales is ruled by quantum statistics, which determine the behavior of bosons and fermions: the two families of fundamental particles thought to comprise every thing in the Universe.
Physicists Simulated a Black Hole in a Lab. Then It Started to ‘Evaporate’
The one thing we all ‘know’ about black holes is that nothing escapes their ineluctable grasp.
That is mostly true – but since the 1970s, physicists have predicted that black holes could slowly lose energy in the form of thermal radiation.
This is Hawking radiation, and while it has been recreated in laboratory analogs, the mechanism whereby it siphons energy from a black hole, known as backreaction, has remained elusive.
Mayo Clinic study identifies new brain targets for individualized epilepsy treatment
ROCHESTER, Minn. — Mayo Clinic researchers have created a detailed map of the pulvinar, a deep brain region that could help doctors more precisely target brain stimulation therapies for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. The findings, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, reveal that brain regions separated by only a few millimeters connect to entirely different
