After weeks and months of saber-rattling, Russia has brutally invaded Ukraine. Bullying autocracies are reaching back and executing old playbooks — in this instance exceptionally audaciously — and around the globe they will be looking to see how allied democracies react and respond to Russia’s military aggression. For both attacker and defender, cyber domain will figure prominently. Indeed, it already has. Consider “intelligence preparation of the battlefield,” or IPB. It’s what military professionals do to scope the lay of the land — both physical and virtual — before taking on their target full bore. And it’s what Russia had been doing in and to Ukraine before launching fuller-scale operations. But in the case of Ukraine, the task of IPB was immeasurably simplified for Russia. Why? Because Russia — in its Soviet incarnation — was the source of Ukraine’s infrastructure. Postwar pipes for everything from water to telecommunications in Ukraine is […]

While the data on most memory devices can be read using electric signals, an emerging technology encodes data in light, so a system can read it back just by checking if an LED is on or off. Now, researchers have developed a new device based entirely on… Continue reading Perovskite memory device transmits data in both light and electricity
A flaw in software used by millions of smart home devices could allow hackers to intercept audio and video data on equipment such as baby monitors and web cameras, security researchers said Tuesday. The vulnerability is in a software protocol made by Taiwanese internet of things (IoT) vendor ThroughTek, which has customers including the Chinese electronics giant Xiaomi. ThroughTek says 83 million devices made by other brands, such as the camera vendor Wyze, run its software. To exploit the flaw, an attacker would need “comprehensive knowledge” of the software protocol, and to obtain unique identifiers used by the targeted device, according to Mandiant, a division of FireEye, which discovered the issue. With that access, a hacker could communicate with devices remotely, potentially leading to follow-on hacks. The Department of Homeland Security plans to issue a public advisory to raise awareness of the security issue, Mandiant said. Yi-Ching Chen, an employee […]

A suspected Chinese state-sponsored group is targeting telecommunications organizations in Taiwan, Nepal and the Philippines, researchers at Recorded Future’s Insikt Group said in a report Thursday. Researchers noticed intrusions from the group, which investigators called TAG-22, in June targeting telecommunications organizations including the Industrial Technology Research Institute in Taiwan, Nepal Telecom and the Department of Information and Communications Technology in the Philippines. Some of the activity appears to be ongoing as of press time, researchers said. The new findings play into a larger backdrop of apparent Chinese hackers snooping on global competition in the telecommunications space, which has become an arena of political and economic conflict between China and the United States. “In particular, the targeting of the ITRI is notable due to its role as a technology research and development institution that has set up and incubated multiple Taiwanese technology firms,” researchers wrote. They noted that the organization is […]

Hackers recently breached the IT systems of McDonald’s and accessed email addresses, phone numbers and delivery addresses for certain customers in South Korea and Taiwan, the fast food giant said Friday. “In the coming days, a few additional markets will take steps to address files that contained employee personal data,” McDonald’s said in an emailed statement. The burger chain said it quickly identified and contained the breach, which involved a “small number of files.” No customer payment information was affected, according to McDonald’s. The breach also involved business contact information of U.S. employees and franchisees, the Wall Street Journal reported. In some cases, the intruders also accessed data about restaurant seating capacity and the square footage of play areas, the Journal reported. It was unclear who was responsible for the hack. A McDonald’s spokesperson did not respond to an emailed question on who the culprit might be. McDonald’s, which reported […]
