There’s more to galaxies than meets the eye, and now astronomers have mapped out a huge invisible region of the galaxy next door. Observations by the Hubble Space Telescope have detailed the size and structure of the gas halo of Andromeda – and found t… Continue reading Andromeda’s “halo” already bumping into Milky Way’s ahead of collision
If lasers are your hobby, you face a conundrum. There are so many off-the-shelf lasers that use so many different ways of amplifying and stimulating light that the whole thing can be downright — unstimulating. Keeping things fresh therefore requires rolling your own lasers, and these DIY nitrogen TEA and …read more
Supernovae are some of the most energetic events in the universe, and the resulting nebulas are a favorite for stargazers. To better understand the physics behind them, researchers at Georgia Tech have created a “supernova machine” in the lab.Continue … Continue reading “Supernova machine” recreates cosmic blasts in the lab
Digital attackers used spearphishing campaigns to target oil and gas companies with samples of the AgentTesla infostealer family. In the first campaign spotted by Bitdefender, malicious actors sent out emails that appeared to originate from Egyptian st… Continue reading Oil and Gas Sectors Targeted by AgentTesla Infostealer Campaigns
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) revealed that a natural gas compression facility suffered a ransomware attack. According to CISA Alert (AA20-049A), digital attackers leveraged a spearphishing link and abused the lack of robu… Continue reading CISA Disclosed Ransomware Attack at Natural Gas Compression Facility
If you’re like us, understanding the processes and methods of the early Industrial Revolution involved some hand waving. Take the blast furnace, which relies on a steady supply of compressed air to stoke the fire and supply the oxygen needed to smelt iron from ore. How exactly was air compressed …read more

The APT is using small botnets to take espionage aim at military and academic organizations. Continue reading APT33 Mounts Focused, Highly Targeted Botnet Attacks Against U.S. Victims
To protect the integrity and safety of their business-critical assets, cybersecurity must be a top priority for the oil and gas industry. Although they operate some of the nation’s most critical systems, securing these complex infrastructures can… Continue reading Managing and Responding to Advanced Cyber Risks in the Oil and Gas Industry
An attacker whose motives are unclear compromised an Asterisk server in a highly targeted campaign. Continue reading Virus Bulletin 2019: VoIP Espionage Campaign Hits U.S. Utilities Supplier
Galaxies are well studied, but far less is known about the vast stretches of space between them. Though it seems empty, the intergalactic medium (IGM) actually contains more matter than galaxies do – it’s just hard to see because it’s not shi… Continue reading Yale simulations probe the unstable recipe behind "intergalactic pancakes"
