The emergence of smart cars has opened the door to limitless possibilities for technology and innovation – but also to threats beyond the car itself. New research from Michigan State University is the first to apply criminal justice theory to smart vehicles, revealing cracks in the current system le...

Password meters are frequently made available to help users secure their personal data against the threats posed by cybercriminals. However, the ‘inconsistent and misleading’ advice offered on some of the world’s most popular websites could actually be doing more harm than good, ac...

Does the common stereotype for “organized crime” hold up for organizations of hackers? Research from Michigan State University is one of the first to identify common attributes of cybercrime networks, revealing how these groups function and work together to cause an estimated $445-600 billion of har...

Laboratory tests of talc-based cosmetics products, commissioned by the Environmental Working Group, found asbestos — a deadly human carcinogen for which there is no safe level of exposure — in almost 15 percent of samples. The analysis, published today in the journal Environmental Health Insights, c...

An end-to-end cyber-biological attack, in which unwitting biologists may be tricked into generating dangerous toxins in their labs, has been discovered by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev cyber-researchers. According to a new paper just published in Nature Biotechnology, it is currently believed t...

New model shows why countries that retaliate too much against online attacks make things worse for themselves. During the opening ceremonies of the 2018 Winter Olympics, held in PyeongChang, South Korea, Russian hackers launched a cyberattack that disrupted television and internet systems at the gam...

Bitcoin and Ethereum exhibited a significant volatility increase five days post-incident, pointing to delayed risk pricing. These findings reveal inefficiencies in crypto markets and the need for deeper investigation into cyber-related financial risks. A University of Vaasa researcher, Klaus Grobys,...

A New Artificial Intelligence System Generates Fake Documents To Fool Adversaries During World War II, British intelligence agents planted false documents on a corpse to fool Nazi Germany into preparing for an assault on Greece. “Operation Mincemeat” was a success, and covered the actual...

Takeaways: There are no easy solutions to shoring up U.S. national cyber defenses. Software supply chains and private sector infrastructure companies are vulnerable to hackers. Many U.S. companies outsource software development because of a talent shortage, and some of that outsourcing goes to compa...
