A report from the cybersecurity research site Comparitech, released on Wednesday, said that malware that affects industrial control systems (ICS) could disrupt important industries that support modern society. Justin Schamotta, a researcher, said that threat actors are most interested in ICS devices that are connected to the internet, especially those that use old protocols like Modbus. In his analysis, Schamotta found 179 ICS devices that were connected to the internet. He added, “We found one…

Flashpoint said in a corporate blog that the way adversaries talk to each other is changing as threat actors move away from formal, slow-moving communication platforms like Telegram and Discord. People frequently think of emojis as silly or non-technical, yet they have become an…
Google’s work on Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs), now advancing through the IETF’s PLANTS working group, signals more than a technical upgrade — it points to a fundamental rethink of how digital trust is built and delivered. It signals a structural redesign of digital trust architectures. Until now, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) conversations have focused heavily on algorithms: ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, key sizes, and signature schemes. While those details matter, they are not the main barrier to adoption.…
A report from Cast AI, a worldwide automation platform for cloud-native and AI workloads, says that companies are putting billions of dollars into AI infrastructure that isn’t being used much. The analysis looked at data from 23,000 Kubernetes clusters and concluded that the average GPU usage on corporate systems is under 5%. That means that 95% of the GPU capacity that was set up is not being used. The paper said that a CPU core…
