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 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..

North Korean Hackers Use Jailbroken ChatGPT Prompts to Forge Military ID

The Kimsuky group of North Korean hackers tricked ChatGPT into creating a phoney South Korean military ID via jailbroken prompts, which were then used

The Kimsuky group of North Korean hackers tricked ChatGPT into creating a phoney South Korean military ID via jailbroken prompts, which were then used in spearphishing assaults against defence establishments. The Genians Security Centre verified the identity of the ID and cautioned that even with builtin protections, AI tools can be abused to create illicit content. Using a publicly accessible headshot, the attackers most likely asked for a "mockup" design in order to get around limitations. The compromise was made possible by rapid engineering and ego manipulation, even though OpenAI normally prevents such outputs. The event emphasises the need for stronger protections and the growing hazards of AI exploitation in cyberespionage. Authorities have underlined the legal ramifications of copying protected IDs but have not revealed which institution is being targeted. Read More..

Iran and IAEA Sign Cairo Agreement to Resume Nuclear Inspections

Resuming inspections of Iranian nuclear sites is part of a new deal agreed in Cairo between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA. The

Resuming inspections of Iranian nuclear sites is part of a new deal agreed in Cairo between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA. The agreement comes after months of high tensions, which included U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear targets in June and a 12day conflict with Israel. Iran has since ceased all cooperation with the IAEA, restricting inspections to the Bushehr facility. Iran has an unconfirmed nearbombgrade stockpile, which has alarmed the IAEA. By hosting discussions between Iranian and IAEA officials, Egypt performed a crucial mediation role. The pact, which is a delicate but crucial step towards reestablishing oversight and reducing geopolitical tension, comes as European sanctions on Iran for violating the 2015 nuclear agreement have been extended.

U.S. and China Near TikTok Deal as Trade Concessions Enter the Equation

According to investor Louis Bessent, the U.S. and China are allegedly close to reaching an agreement about TikToks future, although completion may dep

According to investor Louis Bessent, the U.S. and China are allegedly close to reaching an agreement about TikToks future, although completion may depend on further extensive trade concessions. By signing the deal, TikTok may be spared a complete ban and be able to continue operating in the United States under more stringent data governance and transparency regulations. According to Bessent, China can ask for a reciprocal relaxation of export restrictions on technology or tariffs. Citing national security concerns, the Biden administration had earlier urged ByteDance to sell off TikToks U.S. business. A move towards negotiated digital diplomacy in the face of escalating tensions is reflected in this possible agreement. Any settlement, according to analysts, will probably alter the dynamics of U.S.China trade more broadly and establish a precedent for future crossborder tech regulation. Read More..

U.S. and UK Seal AI, Cybersecurity, and Clean Energy Deals During Trump Visit

The United States and Britain announced new energy and technology agreements during President Donald Trumps visit to the United Kingdom with the goal

The United States and Britain announced new energy and technology agreements during President Donald Trumps visit to the United Kingdom with the goal of strengthening their bilateral collaboration. Joint investments in AI, cybersecurity, and clean energy infrastructure—with an emphasis on nuclear and hydrogen technologies—are among the agreements. The agreements also promote resilience in the semiconductor supply chain and crossborder data transfers. While Trump commended the UKs leadership in the energy transformation, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak underlined the strategic significance of collaborating with U.S. innovation. Growing transatlantic efforts to secure vital infrastructure and challenge Chinas technological domination are reflected in the announcements. In order to strengthen their longterm economic and security alliance, both countries promised to keep working together on digital standards, climate targets, and defenserelated technologies.

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.

EU and U.S. Maintain $81B in Trade with Russia Despite Sweeping Sanctions

The United States and Europe continue to trade billions of dollars with Russia in spite of broad sanctions, especially in industries that are not subj

The United States and Europe continue to trade billions of dollars with Russia in spite of broad sanctions, especially in industries that are not subject to embargoes. In 2024, the United States imported $9 billion worth of industrial goods, metals, and chemicals from Russia, compared to $72 billion for the EU. Trade has continued because of exemptions and loopholes, particularly for essential raw materials. While American corporations rely on Russian titanium for aircraft, European companies point to supply chain dependencies. This, according to critics, jeopardises attempts to isolate Moscow over its conflict in Ukraine. In the meantime, Russia has lessened the impact of Western prohibitions by shifting exports to Asia and Latin America. A complicated web of economic interconnection is revealed by the statistics, casting doubt on the efficacy of the sanctions regimes in place. Read More..

People Inc. CEO Calls Google a “Bad Actor” Over AI Content Scraping

Google has been called a "bad actor" by Neil Vogel, CEO of People Inc., for employing a single crawler to index webpages for search and AI training without paying publishers. Vogel made the case during his speech at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference that this dual usage enables Google to "steal content" and still profit from search traffic. He pointed out that in recent years, Googles traffic share to People Inc. has decreased from 90% to less than 30%. In response, People Inc. inked a contract with OpenAI, which Vogel referred to as a "good actor," and teamed up with Cloudflare to restrict AI crawlers that dont pay. Talks have been started by other major LLM providers. The argument highlights the escalating conflicts over data ownership and AI monetisation between publishers and internet behemoths. Read More..
