Kering Confirms Data Breach Affecting 7.4M Gucci, Balenciaga, McQueen Customers

A significant data breach at the French luxury conglomerate Kering has impacted 7.4 million consumers of brands like Alexander McQueen, Gucci, and Bal

A significant data breach at the French luxury conglomerate Kering has impacted 7.4 million consumers of brands like Alexander McQueen, Gucci, and Balenciaga. According to reports, the hacker collective Shiny Hunters took credit for gaining access to names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, and transaction histories, some of which totalled more than $80,000. Experts caution that large spenders may be the target of frauds, even when no financial information was taken. The hack, which was caused by a hacked Salesforce account, was one of several attacks on IT and luxury companies. Kering has alerted authorities and denies any ransom talks. The incident emphasises the need for more controls over thirdparty platforms managing sensitive consumer data and the rising cybersecurity dangers for wellknown brands. It is recommended that users keep an eye on their accounts and steer clear of any questionable interactions. Read More..

Google Confirms LERS Breach by Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters, No Data Accessed

According to Google, the Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters group of hackers falsely registered for an account on the companys Law Enforcement seek System LERS

According to Google, the Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters group of hackers falsely registered for an account on the companys Law Enforcement seek System LERS, a secure website that authorised authorities use to seek user information. Despite the fact that no requests were made or data was accessed, the hack raises fundamental questions regarding Googles approval procedure. Shortly before declaring it was "going dark," the group shared a screenshot of the automated confirmation email on Telegram. Preapproval for LERS access usually involves more than just an agency email, indicating either system weakness or impersonation. The account has since been disabled by Google. The event emphasises the rising danger of hackers breaking into sensitive platforms by taking advantage of trustbased systems. Read More..

Klarna CEO Builds Prototypes in Minutes Using AIPowered Vibe Coding

Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of Klarna, is adopting "vibe coding," which uses AI technologies like Cursor to create product prototypes in minutes instead of weeks as engineering teams used to do. He explained on the *Sourcery* podcast how AI enables him to independently test concepts, relieving developers of some of their burden and spurring innovation. Andrej Karpathy of OpenAI popularised the term "vibe coding," which describes the process of creating functional code from massive language models. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, also commended the strategy, describing it as "delightful." Even though Klarna will have automated 2.3 million client enquiries by 2024, it still offers human assistance, which Siemiatkowski says might develop into a VIP service. The pattern is indicative of a larger movement in tech leadership towards more active AI exploration and shorter product cycles. Read More..

Google Upgrades Veo 3 with Vertical Video and 1080p Support for Social Platforms

In order to optimise content creation for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, Google has updated its Veo 3 AI video model to enable vertical

In order to optimise content creation for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, Google has updated its Veo 3 AI video model to enable vertical clips and 1080p resolution. Although vertical output is presently limited to 720p, developers can now create films with a 916 aspect ratio by utilising the Gemini API. In order to create hyperrealistic influencerstyle material, Veo 3 also generates synchronised audio. Veo 3 and Veo 3 Fast now cost $0.40/sec and $0.15/sec, respectively, a substantial decrease in price. Critics caution that this could result in a deluge of identical AIgenerated content on social media. Later this year, Google intends to include Veo 3 into YouTube Shorts, indicating increased consumer accessibility and posing new queries regarding moderation, authenticity, and the future of video feeds that prioritise mobile devices.

Phoenix RowHammer Variant Cracks DDR5 in Under Two Minutes

Using default system settings, researchers have discovered a new RowHammer version called *Phoenix* that can overcome DDR5 memory defences in less tha

Using default system settings, researchers have discovered a new RowHammer version called *Phoenix* that can overcome DDR5 memory defences in less than two minutes. The attack circumvents all known defences, including ondie ECC, and targets SK Hynix processors. Phoenix gives attackers root access and privilege escalation, which they can use to steal RSA2048 keys or take advantage of the sudo binaries. This vulnerability, identified as CVE20256202 and assigned a severity score of 7.1, was discovered for the first time on regular DDR5 desktop PCs. Since hardware patches are not practical, experts advise tripling DRAM refresh rates to avoid bit flips. The finding emphasises the growing dangers of contemporary memory architectures and the pressing need for preventative measures against exploits at the hardware level. Read More..

Microsoft Backs OpenAI Restructuring in New NonBinding Agreement

According to Reuters, OpenAI and Microsoft have negotiated a nonbinding agreement that permits OpenAI to reorganise its operations and governance. Thr

According to Reuters, OpenAI and Microsoft have negotiated a nonbinding agreement that permits OpenAI to reorganise its operations and governance. Through the agreement, OpenAI can change its board and organisational structure without jeopardising its current alliance with Microsoft, which has contributed more than $13 billion. The action comes after OpenAIs internal conflicts and leadership changes, which sparked demands for greater autonomy and openness. Microsoft will continue to use OpenAIs models in its Azure and Copilot products and maintain access to them. The deal, according to analysts, is a strategic reset that will allow OpenAI to develop while maintaining its business relationships. In light of the increasing competition in the AI market, the reorganisation may potentially open the door for more extensive partnerships and lessen dependency on a single business partner.
