U.S. sanctions cyber scammers who stole billions from Americans
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has sanctioned several large networks of cyber scam operations in Southeast Asia, which stole over $10 billion from Americans last year.
These operations, mainly those in Burma and Cambodia, are notorious for using forced labor, human trafficking, and physical violence, essentially operating as modern slavery farms that conduct online fraud.
The scams vary from “romance baiting” to fake cryptocurrency investing opportunities.
Hackers hide behind Tor in exposed Docker API breaches
A threat actor targeting exposed Docker APIs has updated its malicious tooling with more dangerous functionality that could lay the foundation for a complex botnet.
The activity was first reported in June by cybersecurity company Trend Micro. whose researchers analyzed scripts and malicious code that dropped a cryptominer and relied on the Tor network to hide their identity.
Akamai researchers discovered new tooling that does not deploy a miner but a more complex payload that can block access to compromised Docker APIs.
Windows 10 KB5065429 update includes 14 changes and fixes
Microsoft has released the KB5065429 cumulative update for Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 10 21H2, with fourteen fixes or changes, including fixes for unexpected UAC prompts and severe lag and stuttering issues with NDI streaming software.

Windows users can install this update by going into Settings, clicking on Windows Update, and manually performing a ’Check for Updates.’
Butterfly wings inspire solution to impossible optics problem
The iridescent blue of butterfly wings has inspired researchers to find a solution to a challenge previously considered insurmountable—dynamically tuning advanced optical processes at visible wavelengths.
The result is a patterned layer of material a fraction of the thickness of a hair, that could underpin radical new optical technology: applications of the technology are diverse, ranging from adaptive camouflage, through biosensing to quantum light engines for on-chip computing and secure communications.
The research is published in Science Advances. The first author is Dr. Mudassar Nauman, from the ARC Center of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) and BluGlass Ltd.
NVIDIA Partners With AI Infrastructure Ecosystem to Unveil Reference Design for Giga-Scale AI Factories
At this week’s AI Infrastructure Summit in Silicon Valley, NVIDIA’s VP of Accelerated Computing Ian Buck unveiled a bold new vision: the transformation of traditional data centers into fully integrated AI factories.
As part of this initiative, NVIDIA is developing reference designs to be shared with partners and enterprises worldwide — offering an NVIDIA Omniverse Blueprint for building high-performance, energy-efficient infrastructure optimized for the age of AI reasoning.
Already, NVIDIA is collaborating with scores of companies across every layer of the stack, from building design and grid integration to power, cooling and orchestration.
Non-gaussian States Of Light Unlock Universal Computation With Enhanced Success Probabilities And Optimised Photon Requirements
Non-Gaussian states of light represent a crucial component for advancements in quantum technologies, holding immense potential for universal computation, robust error correction, and highly sensitive sensing, yet creating these states remains a significant challenge. Fumiya Hanamura, Kan Takase, and Hironari Nagayoshi, along with their colleagues, now present a new approach to overcome these hurdles, introducing ‘non-Gaussian control parameters’ that offer a more effective way to measure and optimise the generation of these complex states. This method moves beyond traditional benchmarks, such as stellar rank, by providing a continuous and practical measure of non-Gaussianity, and importantly, dramatically reduces the resources needed for successful state creation. Demonstrations across a range of states, including cat states and GKP states, reveal that this technique cuts required photon detections by a factor of three and boosts preparation probability, paving the way for more feasible and scalable quantum technologies and fault-tolerant computation.
Researchers have developed a new method for generating complex states of light that significantly reduces the resources needed for advanced technologies like quantum computing and sensing, achieving a threefold reduction in required measurements and a substantial increase in success rates across various light states.
Don’t sweat it: New device detects sweat biomarker at minimal perspiration rate
A team at Penn State has developed a novel wearable sensor capable of continuously monitoring low rates of perspiration for the presence of a lactate — a molecule the body uses to break down sugars for energy. This biomarker can indicate oxygen starvation in the body’s tissues, which is a key performance indicator for athletes as well as a potential sign of serious conditions such as sepsis or organ failure.
