The malicious app required to make a “Pixnapping” attack work requires no permissions.

Gone are the days when extortion was only the plot line of crime dramas—today, these threatening tactics target anyone with a smartphone, especially Gen Z.

Imagine if a rogue app could glimpse tiny bits of your screen—even the parts you thought were secure, like your 2FA codes.

Chipmaker AMD has released fixes to address a security flaw dubbed RMPocalypse that could be exploited to undermine confidential computing guarantees provided by Secure Encrypted Virtualization with Secure Nested Paging (SEV-SNP). The attack, per ETH Zürich researchers Benedict Schlüter and Shweta Shinde, exploits AMD's incomplete protections that make it possible to perform a single memory

There are dozens of iPhone VPNs at your disposal, but these are the services that will actually keep your browsing safe.

Before an attacker ever sends a payload, they’ve already done the work of understanding how your environment is built. They look at your login flows, your JavaScript files, your error messages, your API documentation, your GitHub repos. These are all clues that help them understand how your systems behave. AI is significantly accelerating reconnaissance and enabling attackers to map your

Astaroth banking trojan has evolved to use GitHub and steganography for resilient C2, hiding its vital commands in images. Learn how this sophisticated malware employs fileless techniques to steal banking and crypto credentials from users across Latin America.

### Summary When using **filter** authorization, two edge cases could cause the policy compiler/authorizer to generate a permissive filter: 1. **Bypass policies whose condition can never pass at runtime** were compiled as `OR(AND(condition, compiled_policies), NOT(condition))`. If the condition could never be true at runtime, the `NOT(condition)` branch evaluated truthy and the overall expression became permissive. 2. **Runtime policy scenarios that reduce to “no checks are applicable”** (an empty SAT scenario) were treated as an empty clause and dropped instead of being treated as **`false`**, which could again produce an overly broad (permissive) filter. These bugs could allow reads to return records that should have been excluded by policy. ### Impact Projects that rely on **filter-based authorization** and define: * `bypass ... do ... end` blocks whose condition(s) are only resolvable at runtime and can never pass in a given request context, **or** * runtime checks tha...

Every week, the cyber world reminds us that silence doesn’t mean safety. Attacks often begin quietly — one unpatched flaw, one overlooked credential, one backup left unencrypted. By the time alarms sound, the damage is done. This week’s edition looks at how attackers are changing the game — linking different flaws, working together across borders, and even turning trusted tools into weapons.
