After infecting 30,000 Android devices nationwide, the BADBOX malware operation was halted by German authorities. Some smartphones and tablets, video players, streaming devices, digital picture frames, and other gadgets with outofdate Android firmware had the malware preinstalled. BADBOX made it possible for nefarious behaviours like establishing fictitious accounts to disseminate false information, engaging in ad fraud by secretly opening websites, and serving as a home proxy for illicit activity. It might infect devices with more malware as well. Chinese threat actors behind the PEACHPIT botnet are connected to the operation, first reported by HUMANs Satori Threat Intelligence. The example underlines the risks of buying lowcost or fake technology, which may unintentionally pose security risks. Read More..

Meta Launches Video Seal to Combat Deepfakes with AIPowered Watermarking

Meta has unveiled Video Seal, a brandnew AIdriven watermarking application made to add undetectable, unchangeable watermarks to videos. To stop the proliferation of deepfakes—increasingly used for fraud, fraud, and disinformation—Video Seal will join Metas other solutions, such as Audio Seal and Watermark Anything. Because the watermark is resistant to compression, cropping, and blurring, the quality of the video is unaffected. This research supports programs like C2PA, Microsoft, and Googles attempts to address concerns about synthetic content. Although the code is not yet publicly accessible, Meta intends to make Video Seal opensource under a liberal license. Given the increasing difficulty in identifying AIgenerated material, these techniques are essential for improving digital authenticity and transparency. Read More..

The Phi4 AI model, the most recent in Microsofts opensource Phi series of small language models SLMs, was released four months after the Phi3.5 model.

The Phi4 AI model, the most recent in Microsofts opensource Phi series of small language models SLMs, was released four months after the Phi3.5 model.

Next week, Hugging Face will debut it after being available on Azure AI Foundry under a Microsoft Research License Agreement. With its Azure AI Content Safety features, available via API for improved application monitoring and including fast shields and groundedness detection, Microsoft strongly emphasises security. Even though Phi4 and other smaller models can increase efficiency with synthetic data after deployment, realworld consistency is still a problem. Read More..
