"Speedy, Secure, Sustainable — That's the Future of Telecom"

A new study led by University of Maryland (UMD) researchers, in collaboration with researchers at the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has discovered technologies that could enable energy-efficient information processing and sophisticated data security. The study found advanced information processing technologies that could provide millions with greener telecommunications and stronger data security. A new device that can process information with a small amount of light could enable more energy-efficient and secure communications.

"GhostStripe Attack Haunts Self-Driving Cars by Making Them Ignore Road Signs"

A team of researchers from Singapore-based universities has proven the possibility of interfering with autonomous vehicles through their reliance on camera-based computer vision and making them miss road signs. "GhostStripe," a technique undetectable to the human eye, could impact Tesla and Baidu Apollo drivers. It exploits the sensors implemented by both brands, specifically CMOS camera sensors.

"Cyberattack Disrupts Christie’s $840M Art Auctions"

A cyberattack has disrupted Christie’s auction house’s attempts to sell art and other high-value items worth an estimated $840m. The company says that the cyberattack took its website offline last week, preventing potential buyers from viewing the lots online. Despite this setback, the auction house says bids can still be placed through phone and in-person channels. The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, and there was no mention of what type of cyberattack happened.

"D-Link Routers Vulnerable to Takeover Via Exploit for Zero-Day"

"D-Link Routers Vulnerable to Takeover Via Exploit for Zero-Day"

Researchers found a zero-day security flaw in a family of D-Link routers that enables attackers to hijack devices and execute commands with root privileges. SSD Secure Disclosure researchers released a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploit for a vulnerability stemming from the handling of HNAP login requests in D-Link DIR-X4860 routers. The vulnerability can be used in a chain to take over a device. This article continues to discuss the vulnerability in the HNAP login request protocol that affects a family of D-Link routers.
