The many variants of the ClickFix social engineering tactic

As new malware delivery campaigns using the ClickFix social engineering tactic are spotted nearly every month, it’s interesting to see how the various attackers are trying to refine the two main elements: the lure and the “instruction” page. In the latest email campaigns documented by the Google Threat Intelligence Group, the suspected Russian threat actor tried to trick the targets into downloading malware by urging them to “solve” a fake CAPTCHA page and then press … More → The post The many variants of the ClickFix social engineering tactic appeared first on Help Net Security.

One glass, full color: Sub-millimeter waveguide shrinks AR glasses

Augmented-reality (AR) technology is rapidly finding its way into everyday life, from education and healthcare to gaming and entertainment. However, the core AR device remains bulky and heavy, making prolonged wear uncomfortable. A breakthrough now promises to change that. A research team has slashed both thickness and weight using a single-layer waveguide.

AI-designed DNA controls genes in healthy mammalian cells for first time

A recent study marks the first reported instance of generative AI designing synthetic molecules that can successfully control gene expression in healthy mammalian cells. As a proof-of-concept, the authors of the study asked the AI to design synthetic fragments which activate a gene coding for a fluorescent protein in some cells while leaving gene expression patterns unaltered. They created the fragments from scratch and dropped them into mouse blood cells, where the sequence fused with the genome at random locations. The experiments worked exactly as predicted and pave the way for new strategies to give instructions to a cell and guide how they develop and behave with unprecedented accuracy.
