The Siren email mailing list will focus on operational impact and response, acting as a central location to provide information about threats and necessary post-disclosure activities.The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) has launched Siren, an email mailing list to share threat intelligence about vulnerabilities in open source software. Siren aims to "aggregate and disseminate threat intelligence" to provide real-time security warning bulletins and deliver a community-driven knowledge base, according to OpenSSF. Members can use the mailing list to provide and receive information, such as tactics, techniques, and procedures used in attacks on open source software, as well as indicators of compromise from real incidents. The initiative is driven, in part, by the recent discovery of a backdoor in the XZ Utils library, when it became clear that there was no centralized method for open source projects to distribute and receive threat intelligence. As different researchers

Trend Micro, a global player in cybersecurity, has unveiled its strategic plan to protect consumers as advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) reshape the computing landscape. This initiative aims to address the unique challenges and opportunities posed by the rise of AI PCs, which are expected to comprise nearly 60% of all PC shipments by 2027, according to IDC forecasts. AI PCs represent a significant evolution in how individuals interact with AI. They provide enhanced speed and security by processing data locally rather than in the cloud. However, this increased capability also heightens the potential for cyber threats, as bad actors may seek to exploit these powerful systems. Trend Micro's strategy includes the introduction of several solutions slated for release in the second half of 2024. These solutions are designed to safeguard AI applications, protect against malicious AI content, and leverage AI PCs' neural processing units (NPUs) to enhance cybersecurity capabil

The region of the brain that Caltech team used was supramarginal gyrus - a crucial component for the understanding and processing of language.Scientists have made "significant" strides in the field of reading people's minds. Researchers from California were able to decode the thoughts of participants into words with 79 per cent accuracy. The device has been developed by Caltech's T&C Chen Brain-Machine Interface Centre and will help patients with speech and non-verbal disorders. These 'speech decoders' act as brain-machine interface and capture brain activity during inner speech and translate it into language. The technology is making news because of its high accuracy. The participants were asked to think of words like 'spoon', 'python' or 'battlefield'. These thoughts were then translated in real time. "We captured neural activity associated with internal speech - words said within the mind with no associated movement or audio

Frankfurt, Germany, May 13, 2024. Continental announced today that it has implemented a cross-domain High-Performance Computer (HPC) in a car. For the first time, hosting cockpit and additional vehicle functions like driving safety and automated parking, including holistic motion control in a real-life vehicle application was made possible. Serving as a showcase for what the development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) can look like for automotive engineers, the SDV technology car utilizes Continental’s cloud-based Continental Automotive Edge Framework (CAEdge), which connects the vehicle to the cloud and features a virtual workbench to simplify and accelerate development, supply, and maintenance of software-intensive system functions. The implementation was leveraged by the Snapdragon Ride™ Flex System-on-Chip (SoC) with pre-integrated Snapdragon Ride Vision perception stack from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. "With the SDV technology car, we are able to demonstrate Continental’s

Public cloud services employ special security technologies. Computer scientists at ETH Zurich have now discovered a gap in the latest security mechanisms used by AMD and Intel chips. This affects major cloud providers. Over the past few years, hardware manufacturers have developed technologies that ought to make it possible for companies and governmental organizations to process sensitive data securely using shared cloud computing resources. Known as confidential computing, this approach protects sensitive data while it is being processed by isolating it in an area that is impenetrable to other users and even to the cloud provider. But computer scientists at ETH Zurich have now proved that it is possible for hackers to gain access to these systems and to the data stored in them. Eavesdrop-proof smartphone project helps find the gaps Shinde's team uncovered the security gaps while examining the confidential computing technologies used in AMD and Intel processors. The researchers wa

  The newly emerged sunspot has seen a number of flares erupting on the surface of the Sun. At the time of both eruptions, the sunspot was facing Earth and a coronal mass ejection (CME) could have accompanied at least one of these solar flares. The Sun is approaching the peak of its activity in the current solar cycle, an 11-year period in which its magnetic field goes through a cycle. This means that the Sun's north and south poles switch places. Then it takes about another 11 years for the Sun's north and south poles to flip back again. During this period, the Sun releases many flares that have the capability of affecting the normal life on Earth. Just days ago, two colossal solar flares have emerged from sunspot region AR3663 and Earth is in the firing line. The first eruption occurred on May 2 and it was an X-class flare, the most powerful category of solar flares, according to. It cause shortwave radio blackouts across Australia, Japan and much of China. "X FLARE! Sun

Vitamin D could be the next surprise and effective weapon against cancer, according to a study by scientists in the health sector, says a Fox News report. According to the study, a study on mice which included feeding them vitamin D rich diet could help increase immunity against cancer symptoms. Vitamin D changes the gut microbiome in order enhance effective cancer immunity and increases levels of the bacterium Bacteroides fragilis that depicts an improvement in cancer immune response. Vitamin D-based research can yield some effective results Although cancer is a complex disease with different kinds of evasion, Vitamin D can help in improving the immune system and help in destroying cancer cells. Moreover, some more research on this may help in developing some effective and targeted treatment using this new findings at hand. Vitamin D rich diet not only helps in cancer immunity, but is also good for overall health, finds study The study of mice that received vitamin D showed improved r
