Researchers have demonstrated an attack that can break through modern Intel and AMD processor technologies that protect encrypted data stored in memory.

A group of academics from KU Leuven and the University of Birmingham has demonstrated a new vulnerability called Battering RAM to bypass the latest defenses on Intel and AMD cloud processors. "We built a simple, $50 interposer that sits quietly in the memory path, behaving transparently during startup and passing all trust checks," researchers Jesse De Meulemeester, David Oswald, Ingrid

The Confidential Clusters project integrates confidential computing technology into Kubernetes clusters. It's an end-to-end solution that provides data confidentiality on cloud platforms by isolating a cluster from its underlying infrastructure. In a confidential cluster, all nodes run on top of confidential virtual machines (cVM). Before a node can join the cluster and access secrets, the platform and environment's authenticity are verified through remote attestation. This process involves communication with a trusted remote server.Confidential Clusters enables you to use Red Hat OpenShift,

The US banned the sale of AI chips to China and then backed off. Now, Chinese sources are calling on NVIDIA to prove its AI chips have no backdoors.

LLMs may serve as powerful assistants to malware analysts to streamline workflows, enhance efficiency, and provide actionable insights during malware analysis.

Trellix exposes SquidLoader malware targeting Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia's financial service institutions. Learn about its advanced evasion tactics and stealthy attacks.

Semiconductor company AMD is warning of a new set of vulnerabilities affecting a broad range of chipsets that could lead to information disclosure. The attacks, called Transient Scheduler Attacks (TSA), manifests in the form of a speculative side channel in its CPUs that leverages execution timing of instructions under specific microarchitectural conditions. "In some cases, an attacker may be

For the first time in 2025, Microsoft's Patch Tuesday updates did not bundle fixes for exploited security vulnerabilities, but acknowledged one of the addressed flaws had been publicly known. The patches resolve a whopping 130 vulnerabilities, along with 10 other non-Microsoft CVEs that affect Visual Studio, AMD, and its Chromium-based Edge browser. Of these 10 are rated Critical and the
