Dubbed SloppyLemming also Outrider Tiger and Fishing Elephant, an advanced threat actor connected to India, has been aggressively leveraging cloud service providers for commandandcontrol activities, malware distribution, and credential harvesting.

Expanding access beyond the restricted set of users who received the capability in July, OpenAI has made the Advanced Voice Mode available to all Chat

Expanding access beyond the restricted set of users who received the capability in July, OpenAI has made the Advanced Voice Mode available to all ChatGPT paying customers. This mode, exclusive to Android and iOS apps, provides a humanlike, emotionally expressive voice experience with five additional voices Vale, Spruce, Arbour, Maple, and Sol. By pressing the waveform symbol, users may turn it on and personalise their replies using the custom instructions function. However, the EU, UK, and other European nations are not included in the rollout because of privacy concerns.

Microsoft Launches Correction Feature to Tackle AI Hallucinations in Azure

Microsoft has released a new AI function, "Correction," meant to solve the situation where AI models generate false information—a.k.a. AI hallucinations. The functionality is included in Azure AI Content Safetys groundedness detection mechanism, ensuring that AIgenerated replies correspond with certain grounding documents, especially in document summarisation and retrievalbased situations. Correction offers a reason for the modification and a request for correction when it finds an unfounded or inaccurate assertion. This functionality is aimed at enterprise clients and is accessible through Azure. Microsoft stresses that while groundedness detection helps to match verified documents with AI replies it does not fix accuracy problems entirely. The business is still investigating ways to lessen AI delusions. Read More..

Critical Vulnerability Discovered in FreeBSDs bhyve Hypervisor Urgent Upgrade Required

The bhyve hypervisor in FreeBSD has a severe vulnerability in its USB emulation feature when it is set to simulate devices on a virtual USB controller

The bhyve hypervisor in FreeBSD has a severe vulnerability in its USB emulation feature when it is set to simulate devices on a virtual USB controller XHCI, as discovered by a newly released security warning. This vulnerability can allow a privileged guest operating system to execute arbitrary code or cause the hypervisor to crash. It arises from inadequate boundary validation in the USB emulation code. This presents a significant danger because it gives hostile actors access to the host computer. Synacktiv researchers found this, and there isnt a fix as of right now. The FreeBSD Project recommends that users update to the most recent patched versions of FreeBSD, mentioning that restarting guest operating systems that employ XHCI emulation is necessary for the fix to take effect.

CrowdStrike Apologizes for Global IT Outage Affecting 8.5M Devices, Delta Air Lines Considers Legal Action

A U.S. House panel heard an apology from Adam Meyers, a senior official at the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, over a July worldwide IT disruption

A U.S. House panel heard an apology from Adam Meyers, a senior official at the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike, over a July worldwide IT disruption brought on by a bad software update. The issue affected over 8.5 million Microsoft Windows machines and caused disruptions to several businesses, such as banking, healthcare, and aviation. It was connected to the companys Falcon Sensor security software. With 7,000 flights cancelled, $500 million in losses, and a threat of legal action against CrowdStrike—which contests the claim—Delta Air Lines was particularly hard struck. Meyers insisted that the problem was caused by a configuration error rather than a cyberattack and reassured the committee that CrowdStrike is taking precautions to avoid another occurrence like this one. As a result of the continuing impact, the business has subsequently updated its financial estimates. Read More..
