Lasers reveal ‘lost’ pre-Hispanic civilization deep in the Amazon

Posted by in category: transportation

Millions of lasers shot from a helicopter flying over the Amazon basin have revealed evidence of unknown settlements built by a “lost” pre-Hispanic civilization, resolving a long-standing scientific debate about whether the region could sustain a large population, a new study finds.

The findings indicate the mysterious Casarabe people — who lived in the Llanos de Mojos region of the Amazon basin between A.D. 500 and 1,400 — were much more numerous than previously thought, and that they had developed an extensive civilization that was finely adapted to the unique environment they lived in, according to the study, published online Wednesday (May 25) in the journal Nature (opens in new tab).

Quantum physics offers insights about leadership in the 21st century

Posted by in categories: mapping, neuroscience, quantum physics

According to complexity economist Brian Arthur and physicist Geoffrey West human social systems function optimally as complex adaptive systems – or quantum systems.

The newly developed field of quantum leadership maps the human, conscious equivalents onto the 12 systems that define complex adaptive systems or quantum organisations. These are: self-awareness; vision and value led; spontaneity; holism; field-independence; humility; ability to reframe; asking fundamental questions; celebration of diversity; positive use of adversity; compassion; a sense of vocation (purpose).

Quantum leadership is essentially a new management approach that integrates the most effective attributes of traditional leadership with recent advances in both quantum physics and neuroscience. It is a model that allows for greater responsiveness. It draws on our innate ability to recognise, adapt and respond to uncertainty and complexity.

Screencastify Chrome extension flaws allow webcam hijacks

Posted by in category: security

The popular Screencastify Chrome extension has fixed a vulnerability that allowed malicious sites to hijack users’ webcams and steal recorded videos. However, security flaws still exist that could be exploited by unscrupulous insiders.

The vendor acknowledged the cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability and promptly fixed it after security researcher Wladimir Palant reported it responsibly on February 14, 2022.

However, the same privacy and security-related risks remain unaddressed, keeping users at potential risk from websites that partner with the Screencastify platform.

Trend Micro fixes bug Chinese hackers exploited for espionage

Posted by in category: cybercrime/malcode

Trend Micro says it patched a DLL hijacking flaw in Trend Micro Security used by a Chinese threat group to side-load malicious DLLs and deploy malware.

As Sentinel Labs revealed in an early-May report, the attackers exploited the fact that security products run with high privileges on Windows to plant and load their own maliciously crafted DLL into memory, allowing them to elevate privileges and execute code.

“Trend Micro is aware of some research that was published on May 2, 2022, regarding a purported Central-Asian-based threat actor dubbed ‘Moshen Dragon’ that had deployed malware clusters that attempted to hijack various popular security products, including one from Trend Micro,” the cybersecurity company said.
