Detecting the anomalous Hall effect without magnetization in a new class of materials

An international research team led by Mayukh Kumar Ray, Mingxuan Fu, and Satoru Nakatsuji from the University of Tokyo, along with Collin Broholm from Johns Hopkins University, has discovered the anomalous Hall effect in a collinear antiferromagnet.

More strikingly, the anomalous Hall effect emerges from a non-Fermi liquid state, in which electrons do not interact according to conventional models. The discovery not only challenges the textbook framework for interpreting the anomalous Hall effect but also widens the range of antiferromagnets useful for information technologies.

The findings are published in the journal Nature Communications.

Interlock ransomware gang pushes fake IT tools in ClickFix attacks

The Interlock ransomware gang now uses ClickFix attacks that impersonate IT tools to breach corporate networks and deploy file-encrypting malware on devices.

ClickFix is a social engineering tactic where victims are tricked into executing dangerous PowerShell commands on their systems to supposedly fix an error or verify themselves, resulting in the installation of malware.

Though this isn’t the first time ClickFix has been linked to ransomware infections, confirmation about Interlock shows an increasing trend in these types of threat actors utilizing the tactic.
