Thinking AI models emit 50x more CO2—and often for nothing

Every query typed into a large language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT, requires energy and produces CO2 emissions. Emissions, however, depend on the model, the subject matter, and the user. Researchers have now compared 14 models and found that complex answers cause more emissions than simple answers, and that models that provide more accurate answers produce more emissions. Users can, however, to an extent, control the amount of CO2 emissions caused by AI by adjusting their personal use of the technology, the researchers said.

GPS tracker detection made easy with off-the-shelf hardware

Cyberstalkers are increasingly turning to cheap GPS trackers to secretly monitor people in real time. These devices, which often cost less than $30 and run on 4G LTE networks, are small, easy to hide under a bumper or in a glovebox, and can go undetected for months. A new paper from researchers at NYU, You Can Drive But You Cannot Hide, presents an affordable, practical method for detecting these hidden cellular GPS trackers using off-the-shelf … More → The post GPS tracker detection made easy with off-the-shelf hardware appeared first on Help Net Security.

Thieves don’t need your car keys, just a wireless signal

A recent study by researchers at the University of Padova reveals that despite the rise in car thefts involving Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) systems, the auto industry has made little progress in strengthening security. Since RKE’s introduction in the early 1980s, automakers have worked to improve security by adding features such as immobilizers, which prevent the engine from starting without proper authentication. Vehicle remote entry technologies and evolution Over the past year, new web and … More → The post Thieves don’t need your car keys, just a wireless signal appeared first on Help Net Security.

91% noise: A look at what’s wrong with traditional SAST tools

Traditional static application security testing (SAST) tools are falling short. That’s the key takeaway from a recent report that tested these tools against nearly 3,000 open-source code repositories. The results: more than 91% of flagged vulnerabilities were false positives. The Exorcising the SAST Demons report comes from Ghost Security, which scanned public GitHub projects in Go, Python, and PHP. The study focused on three vulnerability types commonly found in real-world apps: SQL injection, command injection, … More → The post 91% noise: A look at what’s wrong with traditional SAST tools appeared first on Help Net Security.
