Making predictions is never easy, but it is agreed that cryptography will be altered by the advent of quantum computers.
Thirteen, 53, and 433. That’s the size of quantum computers.

Hacker group discloses the ability to encrypt an RTU device using ransomware, leading to reactions from Claroty and SynSaber.
The Guardian dice que un incidente cibernético a fines de diciembre de 2022 que provocó que el periódico británico cerrara sus oficinas durante semanas fue causado por ransomware e informó al personal el miércoles que los hackers habían accedido a sus datos.
Un correo electrónico enviado a su personal por la directora ejecutiva de Guardian Media Group Anna Bateson y la editora en jefe Katharine Viner dijeron que el ataque probablemente fue provocado por un correo electrónico de phishing.

Researchers from the cyber security firm Imperva Red Team have disclosed information on a newly found and fixed vulnerability that affected over 2.5 billion Google Chrome users as well as all Chromium-based browsers such as Edge and Opera.
The vulnerability, which is identified as CVE-2022–3656, makes it possible for remote attackers to acquire sensitive user data such as passwords for cloud service providers and knowledge about cryptocurrency wallets. After further investigation, it was determined that the problem was caused by the manner in which the Chrome browser dealt with symlinks when processing directories and files.
A new malware campaign has been observed targeting Italy with phishing emails designed to deploy an information stealer on compromised Windows systems.
“The info-stealer malware steals sensitive information like system info, crypto wallet and browser histories, cookies, and credentials of crypto wallets from victim machines,” Uptycs security researcher Karthickkumar Kathiresan said in a report.
Details of the campaign were first disclosed by Milan-based IT services firm SI.net last month.

Hackers constantly improve at penetrating cyber defenses to steal valuable documents. So some researchers propose using an artificial-intelligence algorithm to hopelessly confuse them, once they break-in, by hiding the real deal amid a mountain of convincing fakes. The algorithm, called Word Embedding–based Fake Online Repository Generation Engine (WE-FORGE), generates decoys of patents under development. But someday it could “create a lot of fake versions of every document that a company feels it needs to guard,” says its developer, Dartmouth College cybersecurity researcher V. S. Subrahmanian.
If hackers were after, say, the formula for a new drug, they would have to find the relevant needle in a haystack of fakes. This could mean checking each formula in detail—and perhaps investing in a few dead-end recipes. “The name of the game here is, ‘Make it harder,’” Subrahmanian explains. “‘Inflict pain on those stealing from you.’”
Analysis of chatter on dark web forums shows that efforts are already under way to use OpenAI’s chatbot to help script malware.
Microsoft has revealed the tactics used by KeRanger, FileCoder, MacRansom, and EvilQuest, all targeting macOS systems.
In this article, let us see how to build a potential darkweb monitoring tool out of ChatGPT
The dark web is a notorious and often misunderstood part of the internet, known for its anonymous communication and the buying and selling of illegal goods and services. It is not indexed by traditional search engines and is only accessible through specialized software, such as the Tor browser.
While the dark web can be a breeding ground for criminal activity, it is also a valuable resource for cyber security firms, law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity and threat intelligence individuals looking to track and monitor illegal activities.
What would happen if you combined the power of artificial intelligence with a human’s intellect and creativity? That’s the question Hack My Dogma sought to answer with the groundbreaking new series of videos featuring conversations between an AI GPT-3 created by OpenAI and Marcus, a human.
Through these videos, viewers can experience the power of AI first hand and get a glimpse into the potential of artificial intelligence, as well as what the future may hold.
