Spotify Faces Backlash as Users Sell Streaming Data to Build AI Tools

After more than 10,000 customers sold their streaming data to create AI tools through a collective called *Unwrapped*, housed on the decentralised platform Vana, Spotify is receiving criticism. Each user received roughly $5 in cryptocurrency when the organisation sold Solo AI its artist preference data for $55,000. Spotify warns Unwrapped against utilising its platform for machine learning, claiming that this is against its developer terms and trademark. However, Unwrapped developers contend that users are using international privacy rules to exercise their right to manage and profit from personal data. The Electronic Frontier Foundation advises against commodifying privacy but supports user data ownership. Spotify allegedly hindered Unwrappeds growth by making data access difficult. Tensions between platform control and userdriven data autonomy are highlighted by the dispute. Read More..

Adobe Patches Critical Magento Flaw Allowing Full Account Takeover

Adobe has fixed "SessionReaper," a serious flaw in its Magento and Commerce platforms that received a 9.1/10 rating from the National Vulnerability Da

Adobe has fixed "SessionReaper," a serious flaw in its Magento and Commerce platforms that received a 9.1/10 rating from the National Vulnerability Database. The vulnerability, identified as CVE202554236, impacts the Web APIs ServiceInputProcessor component and enables hackers to get around security measures, potentially resulting in complete account takeover without any user intervention. Magento 2.4.9alpha2 through 2.4.4p15 and earlier are among the vulnerable versions. Researchers caution that a leaked hotfix could facilitate reverse engineering and other assaults, even if no active exploits have been reported. Although web application firewalls protect users of Adobe Commerce Cloud, all users are encouraged to install the patch right away. Some developers warn that the update can interfere with external code, making some Magento features inoperable. Read More..

Google Cloud and Qualcomm Unite to Power Smarter InCar AI Assistants

In order to help manufacturers create sophisticated incar AI assistants, Google Cloud and Qualcomm have extended their collaboration to incorporate Ge

In order to help manufacturers create sophisticated incar AI assistants, Google Cloud and Qualcomm have extended their collaboration to incorporate Gemini AI models with Snapdragon Digital Chassis. Beyond simple voice commands, these multimodal agents will provide conversational, contextaware experiences that enable entertainment, navigation, and car controls. The solution offers manufacturers flexibility and quicker development cycles by utilising a hybrid method that combines cloudbased AI for complicated tasks with ondevice AI for immediate replies. Shiv Venkataraman of Google highlighted the platforms brandowned, secure character, while Nakul Duggal of Qualcomm referred to it as a milestone for personalised mobility. The partnership expands on their work from 2016 and represents a larger trend towards AIdriven, softwaredefined cars that have the potential to completely transform automotive innovation in the future.

After Canonicals servers went down for 36 minutes on September 5 and 7, Ubuntu users experienced extended delays in updates. Despite the short outage, it caused a huge backlog of update requests, which resulted in days of unsuccessful installations, stalled processes, and damaged repositories. Installing Ubuntu Server 24.04.2 LTS was difficult for users some users reported problems even two days later. Although the issue was declared addressed on Canonicals status page, community feedback indicated that there may still be lingering disruptions. Erich Eickmeyer, the lead for Ubuntu Studio, verified that the backlog overloaded security updates and mirrors. Services returned to normal on September 8, but the event brought to light the dangers of even brief disruptions to vital infrastructure and the dependence of the Linux community on security.ubuntu.com.

GhostAction Attack Steals 3,325 Secrets from 327 GitHub Accounts

A significant supplychain attack known as "GhostAction" gained access to 327 GitHub accounts and stole 3,325 secrets, including GitHub credentials, AW

A significant supplychain attack known as "GhostAction" gained access to 327 GitHub accounts and stole 3,325 secrets, including GitHub credentials, AWS keys, and PyPI tokens. After a fraudulent GitHub Actions workflow was introduced into the FastUUID project, security firm GitGuardian found the compromise. The method was utilised by the attacker to steal confidential information from Cloudflare, DockerHub, and npm. Many impacted repositories undid the changes after GitHub was notified and the campaign was shut down. "S1ngularity," a different npm assault, affected 2,000 accounts but was judged unrelated. GitGuardian alerted users by creating bugs in compromised repositories. The incident emphasises the growing risks to opensource ecosystems and the pressing need for proactive monitoring and more robust CI/CD pipeline security. Read More..
