The Google Threat Intelligence Group has detected the first known instance of a threat actor using an AI-developed zero-day exploit in the wild. While the attackers planned a wide-scale strike, our proactive counter-discovery may have prevented that from happening. This finding is part of our new report on AI-powered threats.

🚨BREAKING: The US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK publish the joint cybersecurity information sheet "Deploying AI Systems Securely." Quotes:
"Understand the organization’s risk level and ensure that the AI system and its use is within the organization’s risk tolerance overall and within the risk tolerance for the specific IT environment hosting the AI system. Assess and document applicable threats, potential impacts, and risk acceptance." (page 3)
-
"Do not run models right away in the enterprise environment. Carefully inspect models, especially imported pre-trained models, inside a secure development zone prior to considering them for tuning, training, and deployment. Use organization approved AI-specific scanners, if and when available, for the detection of potential malicious code to assure model validity before deployment." (page 6)
-
"Educate users, administrators, and developers about security best practices, such as strong password management, phishing prevention, and secure data handling. Promote a security-aware culture to minimize the risk of human error. If possible, use a credential management system to limit, manage, and monitor credential use to minimize risks further" (page 8).
-
"AI systems are software systems. As such, deploying organizations should prefer systems that are secure by design, where the designer and developer of the AI system takes an active interest in the positive security outcomes for the system once in operation." (page 9)

@nimari There was no DDoS attack by toothbrushes.
The only mention of this before was a hypothetical article stating it might happen.
Smart toothbrushes also generally aren't connected to wifi but rather by Bluetooth so unable to do any DDoS attacks over the internet.

this Microsoft hack is wild. The most valuable company in the world was breached by Russian hackers just days after it announced a major software security overhaul. Microsoft only discovered the breach last week, and it started at the end of November 😬https://t.co/VgvKD7oxXC

🚨BREAKING: FDA approves Neuralink to launch its first-in-human clinical study.
Neuralink, an innovative brain-chip devised by @elonmusk, holds the potential to empower individuals suffering from paralysis, enabling them to reclaim their independence by exerting control over computers and mobile devices.
Furthermore, Neuralink harbors the promise of completely revolutionizing our modes of communication, web browsing, movie viewing etc, to make it easier, faster and a lot more convenient.
The realm of artificial intelligence (A.I.) has witnessed an extraordinary surge in technological advancement recently and is gradually, but definitively, reshaping various different industries.
With A.I. rapidly becoming more intelligent and Neuralink fast approaching, who’s ready for the new era of technology?
