ProRussian Hackers Target Italian Websites in Coordinated Cyberattack

Italys cyber security agency said hackers temporarily disrupted about 10 official websites on Saturday, including those of the Foreign Ministry and Mi

Italys cyber security agency said hackers temporarily disrupted about 10 official websites on Saturday, including those of the Foreign Ministry and Milans Linate and Malpensa airports. Using Telegram, the proRussian hacker collective Noname05716 claimed responsibility for the Distributed Denial of Service DDoS attack, characterising it as a form of vengeance against Italys alleged "Russophobia." When a DDoS assault occurs, networks are overloaded with data in an attempt to interfere with normal operations. The cyber security agency lessened the impact in two hours, and there were no aircraft delays. The airport operator, SEA, reported that despite the internet disruptions, the airports mobile apps continued to work. The assault highlights persistent cyber threats associated with geopolitical unrest. Read More..

ChatGPT Search Vulnerable to Manipulation by Hidden Text on Websites

According to reports, website creators can use hidden language to manipulate ChatGPT Search, OpenAIs AIpowered web search function. The Guardian claim

According to reports, website creators can use hidden language to manipulate ChatGPT Search, OpenAIs AIpowered web search function. The Guardian claims developers can take advantage of this vulnerability by adding invisible HTML or CSSbased content to their web pages, allowing them to provide ChatGPT with inaccurate or skewed data. Tests showed that ChatGPT ignored product defects and gave excessively optimistic answers after adding hidden positive remarks. Furthermore, prompt injections—hidden commands in website code intended to change the AIs behaviour and possibly even deliver malicious code—can affect the feature. There are serious questions regarding the integrity of AIgenerated responses since, if left unchecked, these flaws could enable websites to mislead users or obtain unfair commercial advantages.

Suez Canal Revenues Plummet by $7 Billion in 2024 Amid Regional Turmoil

President Abdel Fattah alSisi claimed that Egypts earnings from the Suez Canal had fallen by over $7 billion in 2024. Compared to 2023, this represents a startling drop of more than 60% nevertheless, Sisi did not elaborate on the circumstances that resulted in this loss. The significant decline in revenue is ascribed to persistent regional issues, specifically the over 100 strikes on ships in the Red Sea that Yemeni Houthi fighters have carried out since November. Amid the protracted conflict in Gaza, these attacks carried out in sympathy with Palestinians, have forced shipping corporations to divert ships across Africa rather than via the canal. Due to this diversion, international trade has been affected, resulting in higher shipping costs and delivery delays. Read More..

According to a Reuters survey, South Koreas exports are expected to have grown by 4.0% in December, continuing their 15th straight month of growth. This comes after Novembers 1.4% increase.

ET, Sora had resumed operations, and APIs had started to recover, but ChatGPT was still partially down. A power failure at its South Central US data centre was attributed to an "upstream provider," most likely Microsoft, OpenAIs cloud partner. Xbox Cloud gameplay, storage, and APIs were all impacted. 5 P.M. ET restored power, but after other recent ChatGPT disruptions, the incident underscores the risks of cloudreliant systems.
