Formal proofs expose long standing cracks in DNSSEC

DNSSEC is meant to stop attackers from tampering with DNS answers. It signs records so resolvers can verify that data is authentic and unchanged. Many security teams assume that if DNSSEC validation passes, the answer can be trusted. New academic resea… Continue reading Formal proofs expose long standing cracks in DNSSEC

Browser agents don’t always respect your privacy choices

Browser agents promise to handle online tasks without constant user input. They can shop, book reservations, and manage accounts by driving a web browser through an AI model. A new academic study warns that this convenience comes with privacy risks tha… Continue reading Browser agents don’t always respect your privacy choices

NIST issues guidance on securing smart speakers

Smart home devices, such as voice-activated digital assistants, are increasingly used in home health care, with risks involved. An attacker could change a prescription, steal medical data, or connect a patient to an impostor. To reduce cybersecurity ri… Continue reading NIST issues guidance on securing smart speakers

LLMs work better together in smart contract audits

Smart contract bugs continue to drain real money from blockchain systems, even after years of tooling and research. A new academic study suggests that large language models can spot more of those flaws when they work in coordinated groups instead of al… Continue reading LLMs work better together in smart contract audits

Privacy risks sit inside the ads that fill your social media feed

Regulatory limits on explicit targeting have not stopped algorithmic profiling on the web. Ad optimization systems still adapt which ads appear based on users’ private attributes. At the same time, multimodal LLMs have lowered the barrier for turning t… Continue reading Privacy risks sit inside the ads that fill your social media feed

AI might be the answer for better phishing resilience

Phishing is still a go-to tactic for attackers, which is why even small gains in user training are worth noticing. A recent research project from the University of Bari looked at whether LLMs can produce training that helps people spot suspicious email… Continue reading AI might be the answer for better phishing resilience
