In the age of social media, the rapid spread of misinformation has become a pressing concern, driven not solely by the intentional act of spreading false information but also by the psychological responses those posts provoke. A compelling study by Princeton University’s Killian McLoughlin and colleagues unveiled that misinformation inflicts a potent blend of anger and disgust in social media
In a groundbreaking discovery, cybersecurity researchers have brought to light a novel side-channel attack known as "InputSnatch," which poses a significant threat to user privacy as individuals interact with large language models (LLMs). This newly identified attack exploits timing discrepancies in cache-sharing mechanisms—tools that are often employed to enhance LLM inference performance—to expropriate input data. Remarkably, the attack can specifically
As the gaming community eagerly awaits Intel’s next-generation Battlemage GPUs, the upcoming release has sparked considerable excitement and speculation. Rumors indicate that Intel will officially announce these GPUs, specifically the Arc B580 and B570 models, on December 3. The actual launch date is projected to be December 12, with a staggered approach seeing Intel’s reference boards debuting first, followed by
A recent surge in sophisticated phishing attacks has exploited DocuSign, primarily targeting businesses that interact with governmental agencies at various levels. Cybersecurity researchers observed a significant 98% increase in DocuSign phishing URLs between November 8 and 14 compared to the preceding two months. These attacks are particularly hazardous as they exploit the inherent trust between businesses and regulatory bodies, creating
As the holiday shopping season approaches, both e-commerce businesses and consumers prepare to capitalize on sales and promotions. However, this festive period also marks a peak time for cybercriminal activities. Darknet marketplaces are playing a central role in democratizing access to sophisticated malicious tools, enabling even individuals with minimal technical skills to engage in cybercrimes. This heightened level of activity
In a move that underscores the high stakes within the AI technology sector, NVIDIA is rapidly advancing its efforts to secure a reliable supply of High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) from Samsung, with a particular focus on Samsung’s upcoming HBM3E chips. Despite earlier reports that Samsung failed to secure NVIDIA as a customer, Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO, has revealed that the company
NVIDIA’s decision to integrate Samsung’s GDDR7 memory into its upcoming GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" gaming GPUs represents a monumental shift in the tech landscape, signaling a potential leap forward in gaming performance and efficiency. For years, NVIDIA has relied heavily on Micron’s GDDR5X and GDDR6X memory for their RTX 30 and RTX 40 series, establishing a strong and fruitful relationship.
In a move that underscores its continuing commitment to pushing the boundaries of processor technology, AMD has revealed the Krackan Point, a Zen 5-based APU that features an innovative 6-core 3+3 configuration. This revelation was made through a recent Geekbench AI benchmark test, sparking interest and excitement in the tech community. The importance of this APU lies in its potential
The UK’s data protection regulator has recently highlighted a critical issue exacerbating the ongoing fraud epidemic: the hesitancy of organizations to share customers’ personal information. According to official statistics, fraud has become the most prevalent crime in England and Wales, representing nearly 39% of total offenses. The reluctance to share data responsibly, fairly, and proportionately is allowing fraudsters to exploit
Intel is poised to release a significant microcode update for its Arrow Lake "Core Ultra 200S" desktop CPUs aimed at optimizing their Voltage-Frequency (VF) behavior. This update is critical due to the Arrow Lake lineup’s failure to meet performance expectations, particularly disappointing enthusiasts who anticipated a generational breakthrough. Intel’s Robert Hallock has acknowledged these performance issues and confirmed that Team
