Intellexa’s Predator spyware can hide iOS recording indicators while secretly streaming camera and microphone feeds to its operators. The malware does not exploit any iOS vulnerability but leverages previously obtained kernel-level access to hijack system indicators that would otherwise expose its surveillance operation. Apple introduced recording indicators on the status bar in iOS 14 to alert users when the camera or microphone is in use, displaying a green or an orange dot, respectively. US-sanctioned surveillance firm Intellexa developed the Predator commercial spyware and delivered it in attacks that exploited Apple and Chrome zero-day flaws and through 0-click infection mechanisms. While its ability to suppress camera…
The Circular Supply Chain Coalition (CSCC) is laying the foundation for a global network of regional recycling nerve centers that would “mine” critical minerals from e-waste. It is pitching the effort as industrial risk management that sidesteps extractive mining. Tariffs, geopolitical pressures and anxiety over access to valuable metals and rare earths have accelerated business’s interest in mainstreaming an infrastructure for urban mining. Since announcing itself nearly two years ago, the CSCC has been sketching blueprints for resource recovery hubs that draw from a pilot project with FedEx. It has also secured interest among potential corporate materials buyers and logistics…
6/5/18 2:20 PM · 1 min read Learn what’s the difference between static factory, simple factory, factory method and abstract factory using the Swift language. I thought that I’d be nice to have a summarized comparison between all the factory patterns, so here it is everything that you should know about them. Constructing them is relatively straightforward, in this example I’m going to use some UIColor magic written in the Swift programming language to show you the basics. 🧙♂️Static factoryno separate factory classnamed static method to initialize objectscan have cache & can return subtypesextension UIColor { static var primary: UIColor {…
Your industrial footprint keeps expanding – more manufacturing plants, pumping stations, and power substations. But your security team isn’t growing at the same pace. Here’s what keeps CISOs awake: every new site increases your attack surface while resources stay flat. If you’re managing OT security across multiple sites, you know this challenge. Teams spend weeks manually updating sensors with the latest firmware and threat intel in a never-ending loop. Site 12 runs the latest threat intelligence while Site 7 operates with firmware and threat intelligence that are six months old – leaving you exposed. When the board or auditors request…
Pros Modest price Expandable storage Sharp and smooth display Cons Performance is modest Bland looks The Lenovo Idea Tab Pro isn’t a tablet to get terribly excited about. Fortunately, it doesn’t need to be.It fits into a reasonable budget, offering respectable qualities, though not stunning ones. Its performance isn’t showstopping, but it holds up to everyday operation with ease. The display could be brighter and punchier, but it’s bright enough and plenty sharp. The design doesn’t catch the eye, but it doesn’t look outright cheap either. A lot hinges on the price, though. As Lenovo suggests, the Idea Tab Pro could…
To date, the scientific progress of drug discovery has largely evolved through three paradigms: serendipitous or empirical drug discovery (SDD) (from ancient times to the 19th century), phenotypic drug discovery (PDD) (mid-19th century to the 1950–1960s), and target-based drug discovery (TDD) (from the molecular biology revolution of the 1980s to the present) [1], [2]. Despite increasing investments in drug research and development over the years, the field continues to face the “Eroom’s law” phenomenon-where research and development (R&D) costs double approximately every nine years, while the number of new drugs produced per billion dollars of investment halves over the same…
Anthropic releases Claude Sonnet 4.6 Claude Sonnet 4.6 features improved skills in coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design. It is now the default model in claude.ai and Claude Cowork, has a 1M context window (beta), and is priced the same as Sonnet 4.5, at $3 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. “Performance that would have previously required reaching for an Opus-class model—including on real-world, economically valuable office tasks—is now available with Sonnet 4.6. The model also shows a major improvement in computer use skills compared to prior Sonnet models,” Anthropic wrote…
China’s Great Firewall is often spoken about but is rarely understood. It is one of the most sophisticated and opaque censorship systems on the planet, and it shapes how over a billion people interact with the global internet, influences the design of privacy and proxy tools worldwide, and continues to evolve in ways that challenge researchers, developers, and policymakers alike. Jackson Sippe is a PhD researcher at the University of Colorado Boulder whose work focuses on uncovering how national-scale censorship systems operate. Jackson recently helped lead a groundbreaking study analyzing a previously undocumented GFW technique that quietly broke fully encrypted…
KBIS 2026 was full of industry firsts. Much of the innovation on display at the sprawling home and kitchen showcase involved large appliances. Top brands, including Samsung, LG, GE and Sharp, were on hand to give a glimpse into the future of home tech.We were there to see it all up close and speak with product managers, engineers and brand reps about all the new large-appliance features coming in 2026. The latest fridges, ovens, dishwashers and laundry systems were well represented on the show floor, and the innovations on display weren’t just flashy — they were practical upgrades designed to make home…
UiPath’s acquisition of WorkFusion reflects the ongoing shift in automation from horizontal enablement to vertically specialized, agentic solutions. WorkFusion brings pre-built Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents designed for Financial Crime Compliance (FCC), strengthening UiPath’s presence in Banking and Financial services (BFS). Beyond portfolio expansion, the transaction signals a broader market transition toward embedding domain-specific AI agents and regulatory intelligence directly within verticalized agentic automation offerings. Reach out to discuss this topic in depth. What happened UiPath acquired WorkFusion to strengthen its agentic automation portfolio in BFS, with a particular focus on FCC. WorkFusion brings pre-configured AI agents designed to automate high-volume compliance workflows, including customer onboarding and screening, alert triage, case investigation, and Transaction Monitoring (TM) across Anti-money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. Beyond incremental capability expansion, the transaction…
