Week in review: ScreenConnect servers open to attack, exploited Microsoft SharePoint flaw

Here’s an overview of some of last week’s most interesting news, articles, interviews and videos: What smart factories keep getting wrong about cybersecurity In this Help Net Security interview, Packsize CSO Troy Rydman breaks down the biggest vulnerabilities in smart factory environments today, from IoT devices and legacy systems to human error. He explains how unmanaged devices, from sensors to robotic components, often go unpatched and become entry points for attackers. Certificate lifespans are shrinking … More → The post Week in review: ScreenConnect servers open to attack, exploited Microsoft SharePoint flaw appeared first on Help Net Security.

As HHS limits telework, disabled veterans say they’re running out of options for accommodations

HHS recently required employees to swipe their ID badges when entering and leaving the office, to get “real-time visibility into building occupancy.”

Harvard engineers build chip that can twist and control light in real time

Scientists at Harvard have built a miniature device that can twist and tune light in real time. By rotating two stacked photonic crystals and adjusting their spacing with a tiny mechanical system, they can control how light’s “handedness” behaves. This allows the chip to distinguish between left- and right-circular polarized light with remarkable precision. The advance could lead to smarter sensors, faster communications, and new quantum technologies.

Scientists just found a hidden 48-dimensional world in quantum light

A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex topological structures. Researchers found these hidden patterns reach up to 48 dimensions, offering a vast new “alphabet” for encoding quantum information. Unlike previous assumptions, this topology can emerge from a single property of light—orbital angular momentum.

Judge blocks policy limiting reporters’ access to Pentagon

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from enforcing a policy limiting news reporters’ access to the Pentagon, ruling that key portions of the new rules are unlawful. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, D.C., sided with The New York Times and ruled that the Pentagon policy illegally restricts the press credentials of reporters who walked out of the building rather than agree to the new rules. The New York Times sued the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in December, claiming the credentialing policy violates the journalists’ constitutional rights to free speech and due process.
