China-Linked UAT-7290 Targets Telecoms with Linux Malware and ORB Nodes
A China-nexus threat actor known as UAT-7290 has been attributed to espionage-focused intrusions against entities in South Asia and Southeastern Europe.
The activity cluster, which has been active since at least 2022, primarily focuses on extensive technical reconnaissance of target organizations before initiating attacks, ultimately leading to the deployment of malware families such as RushDrop, DriveSwitch, and SilentRaid, according to a Cisco Talos report published today.
“In addition to conducting espionage-focused attacks where UAT-7290 burrows deep inside a victim enterprise’s network infrastructure, their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and tooling suggest that this actor also establishes Operational Relay Box (ORBs) nodes,” researchers Asheer Malhotra, Vitor Ventura, and Brandon White said.
Gmail’s new AI Inbox uses Gemini, but Google says it won’t train AI on user emails
Google says it’s rolling out a new feature called ‘AI Inbox,’ which summarizes all your emails, but the company promises it won’t train its models on your emails.
On Thursday, Google announced a new era of Gmail where Gemini will be taking over your default inbox screen.
Google argues that email has changed since 2004, as users are now bombarded with hundreds of emails every week, and volume keeps rising.
Behind nature’s blueprints: Physicists create ‘theoretical rulebook’ of self-assembly
Inspired by biological systems, materials scientists have long sought to harness self-assembly to build nanomaterials. The challenge: the process seemed random and notoriously difficult to predict.
Now, researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) and Brandeis University have uncovered geometric rules that act as a master control panel for self-assembling particles.
The results, which could find applications ranging from protein design to synthetic nanomachines, were published in Nature Physics.
Gravity May Be Key Evidence That Our Universe Is a Simulation, Groundbreaking New Research Suggests
One of nature’s most familiar forces might be doing something far stranger than we ever imagined.
Enhanced non-enzymatic H2S generation extends lifespan and healthspan in male mice
Cáliz-Molina et al. demonstrate that hydrogen sulfide generators found in garlic extend lifespan and enhance metabolic, neurocognitive, and locomotor function in male mice. These molecules induce hepatic lipid-droplet remodeling and modulate aging-associated pathways at transcriptomic, proteomic, and persulfidomic levels. In humans, increased cysteine persulfidation correlates with relevant aspects of health.
