PRRDetect is a new algorithm that identifies tumors with faulty DNA repair, helping doctors tailor cancer treatments more effectively. It marks a major step in using genomics for personalized cancer therapy. Researchers have developed a highly accurate algorithm, named PRRDetect, designed to iden
POSTECH scientists developed a high-entropy alloy that stays strong and flexible from −196 °C to 600 °C, opening new possibilities for aerospace, automotive, and energy applications. A research team at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology), led by Professor Hyoung Seop Kim from th
The Ripple cryptocurrency npm JavaScript library named xrpl.js has been compromised by unknown threat actors as part of a software supply chain attack designed to harvest and exfiltrate users’ private keys.
The malicious activity has been found to affect five different versions of the package: 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4, and 2.14.2. The issue has been addressed in versions 4.2.5 and 2.14.3.

Microsoft on Monday announced that it has moved the Microsoft Account (MSA) signing service to Azure confidential virtual machines (VMs) and that it’s also in the process of migrating the Entra ID signing service as well.
The disclosure comes about seven months after the tech giant said it completed updates to Microsoft Entra ID and MS for both public and United States government clouds to generate, store, and automatically rotate access token signing keys using the Azure Managed Hardware Security Module (HSM) service.
“Each of these improvements helps mitigate the attack vectors that we suspect the actor used in the 2023 Storm-0558 attack on Microsoft,” Charlie Bell, Executive Vice President for Microsoft Security, said in a post shared with The Hacker News ahead of publication.
Microsoft has released the optional KB5055612 preview cumulative update for Windows 10 22H2 with two changes, including a fix for a GPU paravirtualization bug in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2).
The KB5055612 cumulative update preview is part of Microsoft’s “optional non-security preview updates” schedule, typically released at the end of every month. This update allows Windows admins to test upcoming fixes and features that will be released in the upcoming May Patch Tuesday.
Unlike Patch Tuesday cumulative updates, this preview update does not include security updates.
Researchers led by Jean-Paul Noel at the University of Minnesota, United States, have decoupled intentions, actions and their effects by manipulating the brain-machine interface that allows a person with otherwise paralyzed arms and legs to squeeze a ball when they want to.
Published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, the study reveals temporal binding between intentions and actions, which makes actions seem to happen faster when they are intentional.
Separating intentions from actions was made possible because of a brain-machine interface. The participant was paralyzed with damage to their C4/C5 vertebrae and had 96 electrodes implanted in the hand region of their motor cortex.
