This new 3D chip could break AI’s biggest bottleneck

Researchers have created a new kind of 3D computer chip that stacks memory and computing elements vertically, dramatically speeding up how data moves inside the chip. Unlike traditional flat designs, this approach avoids the traffic jams that limit today’s AI hardware. The prototype already beats comparable chips by several times, with future versions expected to go much further. Just as important, it was manufactured entirely in a U.S. foundry, showing the technology is ready for real-world production.

Counterfeit defenses built on paper have blind spots

Counterfeit protection often leans on the idea that physical materials have quirks no attacker can copy. A new study challenges that comfort by showing how systems built on paper surface fingerprints can be disrupted or bypassed. The research comes from teams at the University of Maryland and North Carolina State University, and examines paper based physically unclonable functions, or paper PUFs, which rely on microscopic surface variations in paper to authenticate products. Paper PUFs have … More → The post Counterfeit defenses built on paper have blind spots appeared first on Help Net Security.

What happens to enterprise data when GenAI shows up everywhere

Generative AI is spreading across enterprise workflows, shaping how employees create, share, and move information between systems. Security teams are working to understand where data ends up, who can access it, and how its use reshapes security assumptions. This article explores how GenAI is increasing data exposure, creating new threats, and outpacing existing policies, controls, and testing. GenAI is exposing sensitive data at scale Sensitive data is everywhere and growing fast. A new report highlights … More → The post What happens to enterprise data when GenAI shows up everywhere appeared first on Help Net Security.

“Purifying” photons: Scientists found a way to clean light itself

A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University of Iowa researchers found that unwanted photons produced by lasers can be canceled out by carefully tuning the light itself. The result is a much purer stream of single photons, a key requirement for quantum computing and secure communication. The work could help push photonic quantum technology closer to real-world use.

Budding infosec pros and aspiring cyber crooks targeted with fake PoC exploits

Malware peddlers are targeting infosec enthusiasts, budding security professionals, and aspiring hackers with the Webrat malware, masquerading the threat as proof-of-concept (PoC) exploits for known vulnerabilities. Delivering the malware The recently uncovered Webrat can steal data from Telegram, Discord and Steam accounts and cryptocurrency wallets. It’s also capable of logging keystrokes, recording the computer screen, taking over the machine’s webcam and microphone, and acting as a backdoor through which the attackers can control the system. … More → The post Budding infosec pros and aspiring cyber crooks targeted with fake PoC exploits appeared first on Help Net Security.

Weak enforcement keeps PCI DSS compliance low

Payment card breaches continue to surface across industries, even after years of investment in security standards. A new study links this pattern to enforcement, showing that PCI DSS compliance trails behind HIPAA, GDPR, and the EU’s NIS2 Directive. A compliance gap that keeps widening The authors report that only about 32% of organizations met all PCI DSS requirements in 2022. That figure comes from industry reporting and represents the most recent stable data point before … More → The post Weak enforcement keeps PCI DSS compliance low appeared first on Help Net Security.

AI code looks fine until the review starts

Software teams have spent the past year sorting through a rising volume of pull requests generated with help from AI coding tools. New research puts numbers behind what many reviewers have been seeing during work. The research comes from CodeRabbit and examines how AI co-authored code compares with human written code across hundreds of open source projects. The findings track issue volume, severity, and the kinds of problems that appear most often. The data shows … More → The post AI code looks fine until the review starts appeared first on Help Net Security.
