Threat Actors Exploit Critical FortiClient EMS Flaw to Deploy Credential Stealer

Threat actors are continuing to exploit a critical, now-patched security flaw impacting FortiClient Endpoint Management Server (EMS) deployments to deliver credential-stealing malware. “The campaign abused trusted endpoint management infrastructure to deliver malware across managed endpoints,” Arctic Wolf said. “Threat actors disguised the credential stealer payload as a Fortinet endpoint
Finding Success in Industry as a Chip Designer

I have been an application-specific IC (ASIC) designer for almost three decades. Over that time, I’ve moved through the full academic trajectory, from graduate student to full professor; later, I transitioned to industry after an unsuccessful stint at entrepreneurship. When I made the switch to the private sector in 2019, I began focusing on a critically important aspect of the electronic…

What It Takes to Preserve Floppy Disks

Floppy disks are several decades old—many of the disks are degrading and the data stored on them is at risk of being lost. In response, Leontien Talboom , a technical analyst at Cambridge University Libraries and Archives, led a roughly year-long project preserving floppy disks called “ Future Nostalgia ,” which concluded in January. Leontien Talboom Leontien Talboom is a technical analyst at…
Meet NASA Low Outgassing Standards With Adhesives for Aerospace and Optical Systems

This sponsored article is brought to you by Master Bond . Outgassing is the release of volatile substances from a cured adhesive over time. These released materials, which may include residual solvents, unreacted monomers, or other chemical species, can deposit on nearby surfaces, causing contamination that interferes with sensitive components. What Is Outgassing and How Is It Measured? The…
