Four Spy Groups Used the Same Chrome and Windows Exploit Kit Within a Week
Multiple espionage-motivated threat activity clusters have been found deploying a previously undocumented exploit kit called BlueMoon that chains together multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows and Google Chrome. The first in-the-wild use of BlueMoon has been attributed to the China-aligned state-sponsored group tracked as APT31 (aka Bronze Vinewood, Judgement Panda, JungleBamboo,

Infostealer Logs Expose Replayable AI Tokens That Can Bypass MFA
Cybercriminals are hijacking artificial intelligence (AI) user accounts via information stealer logs to create “stolen keys” that grant illicit access to tools from model providers like Google, Anthropic, and others. Information stealers like Lumma Stealer or Vidar are equipped to harvest a wide range of data from compromised systems. This can include credential, session tokens, and API

Rivian’s Gambit for Full Autonomy
I’m sitting in a Rivian R1S SUV as it drives itself down the leafy streets of Palo Alto, Calif., through areas crowded with touchstones of tech history. We cruise near the landmark HP Garage, the one-car workshop where Hewlett-Packard, and, arguably, Silicon Valley, was founded in 1939. I skirt Stanford University, where a team led by computer science professor Sebastian Thrun won a US $2 million…
The Growing Proof That Autonomous Cars Save Lives
Plenty of people remain spooked by autonomous vehicles, or AVs. Some experts and policymakers have cautioned that AVs won’t necessarily make roads safer. When it comes to partial or full autonomy, the picture isn’t entirely clear, in part because there aren’t enough self-driving cars to make meaningful apples-to-apples comparisons.Yet mounting research suggests that self-driving cars crash…
Workshops Educate African Researchers On How to Publish With IEEE
Many researchers and students in Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda struggle to access and publish scientific and technical articles because of financial barriers including publishing fees and subscriptions to research libraries. To help, IEEE has made its Xplore Digital Library more accessible by offering discounts on subscriptions and lowering fees to publish articles. But the number of papers published…
Judgment-free AI appeals to embarrassed clients
Professional service advisers are seen as more capable than AI — but that advantage fades when clients feel ashamed. An MIT Sloan study shows when people prefer AI’s nonjudgmental assistance.
AI boosts productivity — but does that translate to final outputs?
A new study found that developers using AI tools can write much more code than those working without AI, but they don’t release as much new software.
10 levers for shaping generative AI that improves worker performance
A report from the MIT Working Group on Generative AI & the Work of the Future identifies three principles and seven outcomes that ensure that jobs are better, not just faster, with AI.
