An Alabama man has been handed 14 months behind bars after hacking an SEC social media account to post fake news about Bitcoin. Eric Council Jr., 26, of Huntsville, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit aggravated identity theft and access device fraud back in February, after the incident took place in January 2024. According to court documents, he created a fake identity card using personally identifiable information (PII) of the victim obtained from co-conspirators. He…

An April breach at the UK’s Legal Aid Agency resulted in the theft of a large volume of personal information belonging to applicants, including criminal records, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has admitted. The agency, which provides citizens with access to vital civil and criminal legal services, first became aware of the attack on April 23. However, on Friday it discovered the extent of the breach was much greater than at first thought and has temporarily…

A new era of inconceivably fast quantum machines is not far away, with computers almost ready to completely transform the way we solve problems, communicate, and compute. However, this transformation is not all positive, and the cybersecurity industry fears that functional quantum computers will be able to break even the strongest encryption we have today, rendering today’s security infrastructure obsolete. Looking back, most public-key algorithms rely on mathematical problems that are easy to solve in…

There are ghosts in the machine. Not the poetic kind. I mean literal, running-code-with-root-access kind. The kind that was set up ten years ago by an admin who retired five jobs ago. The kind that still wakes up every night at 3:30 a.m.; processes something no one remembers, and then quietly vanishes into the system logs. Until, of course, something goes wrong—or someone takes advantage of it. Welcome to the world of dead man’s scripts:…

Cloud environments have become a lucrative target for cyber-threat actors, a subject that will be discussed by experts during the upcoming Infosecurity Europe conference. Research has shown that nearly half of all data breaches now originate in the cloud, with 80% of organizations experiencing a cloud security breach in the past year. This is a result of organizations moving their key applications and data from on-prem to cloud environments to improve efficiency. Yet, in many…

코덱스는 챗GPT 내 사이드바에서 제공된다. 사용자는 간단한 프롬프트를 입력해 코덱스에 새로운 코딩 작업을 지시하거나 코드베이스 관련 질문을 할 수 있다. 작업은 코드베이스가 탑재된 독립적인 환경에서 진행되며, 테스트 도구와 타입 체커, 린터 등을 실행할 수 있다. 작업 소요 시간은 난이도에 따라 1분에서 30분까지 다양하며, 실시간 진행 상황도 확인할 수 있다. 작업이 완료되면 코덱스는 환경 내에서 변경사항을 커밋한다. 이후 명령줄 로그와 테스트 결과 등 검증 가능한 근거를 제공해 사용자가 작업 과정을 추적할 수 있도록 한다. 이후 사용자는…

이미 AI 에이전트를 개발하고 관리할 플랫폼을 보유한 기업이 많으며, 어떤 곳은 2개 이상을 동시에 운영하고 있다. 에이전트의 확산(agent sprawl)은 기업 내 다양한 영역에서 AI 에이전트를 활용한다는 장점이 있지만, 동시에 복잡성을 높이고 보안 문제를 가중시키며 투자 대비 수익률(ROI)에 악영향을 줄 수 있다. 지난 한 해 동안 벤더들은 자사 제품군에 에이전틱 AI 기능을 추가해 왔다. 마이크로소프트(MS), 아마존웹서비스(AWS), 구글, IBM, 세일즈포스, 서비스나우, 워크데이, SAP 등이 이미 AI 에이전트를 제공하고 있으며, 데이터 관리 소프트웨어 기업인 인포매티카(Informatica)도 최근 자사의 지능형…
