Dark Matter May Have Finally Been Detected in Our Galaxy’s Glow

A strange, never-before-seen glow in the halo of our galaxy may be the strongest dark-matter breadcrumb yet.

A new analysis of 15 years’ worth of data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope reveals a glow of unusually high-energy gamma rays that cannot easily be attributed to any known source.

According to astronomer Tomonori Totani of the University of Tokyo in Japan, it may be the radiation produced when hypothetical dark matter particles collide and wipe out one another.

Your Brain Goes Through 5 Distinct Epochs, Massive Study Finds

The human brain is not a hard-wired machine but a malleable organ that is regularly re-shaping itself.

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK and the University of Pittsburgh in the US have now identified four major turning points in brain wiring between birth and death.

Like chapters of our lives, each of these neurological ‘epochs’ marks a new era of development or decline.

Scientists Cracked Open a Lunar Rock And Found a Huge Surprise

A tiny sample of the Moon locked away for more than 50 years turns out to have been hiding an astronomical secret.

In specks of troilite dust collected by Apollo 17 in 1972, scientists have found material that may be as old – or even older – than the Moon itself, a 4.5-billion-year-old relic of the early Solar System.

“My first thought was, ‘Holy shmolies, that can’t be right,’” says planetary scientist James Dottin of Brown University in the US.

When Your $2M Security Detection Fails: Can your SOC Save You?

Why did all eight detection tools identically fail where the SOC succeeded?

What all these organizations have in common is a balanced investment across the alert lifecycle, which doesn’t neglect their SOC.

This article examines how investing in the SOC is indispensable for organizations that have already allocated significant resources to detection tools. Additionally, a balanced SOC investment is crucial for maximizing the value of their existing detection investments.

Popular Forge library gets fix for signature verification bypass flaw

A vulnerability in the ‘node-forge’ package, a popular JavaScript cryptography library, could be exploited to bypass signature verifications by crafting data that appears valid.

The flaw is tracked as CVE-2025–12816 and received a high severity rating. It arises from the library’s ASN.1 validation mechanism, which allows malformed data to pass checks even when it is cryptographically invalid.

“An interpretation-conflict vulnerability in node-forge versions 1.3.1 and earlier enables unauthenticated attackers to craft ASN.1 structures to desynchronize schema validations, yielding a semantic divergence that may bypass downstream cryptographic verifications and security decisions,” reads the flaw’s description in the National Vulnerabilities Database (NVD).
