52% of direct-to-IP threats are missing from intelligence feeds

Security tools are good at inspecting websites, domains, URLs, and files, so attackers are moving lower in the stack and communicating directly with IP addresses, where visibility is limited. According to Palo Alto Networks’ report, this creates a visibility gap that allows malicious traffic to blend into normal internet activity and evade detection. At the internet edge, this gap starves security systems of the telemetry needed to identify and block threats. Threat actors hide the … More → The post 52% of direct-to-IP threats are missing from intelligence feeds appeared first on Help Net Security.

Scientists finally complete Schrödinger’s 100-year-old color theory

Researchers have finally resolved a key problem in a 100-year-old theory of color, showing that the qualities we perceive in colors are intrinsic to the mathematics of color space itself. The discovery sharpens our understanding of human vision and could lead to more precise color technologies and visualizations.

AI-designed universal coronavirus vaccine passes first human trial

Scientists have successfully tested an AI-designed universal coronavirus vaccine in humans for the first time, finding it to be safe and well tolerated. The vaccine generated immune responses against multiple coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, SARS, and related bat viruses with pandemic potential. By targeting features shared across an entire virus family, it aims to provide protection even as viruses evolve.

Scientists discover a hidden quantum world inside cobalt

Scientists have uncovered unexpected quantum complexity inside cobalt, a metal long thought to be fully understood. Advanced measurements revealed a dense network of topological electronic states that remain robust at room temperature. These states enable extremely fast electron behavior and can be switched or controlled using magnetism. The discovery could open new paths toward next-generation computing and spin-based devices.
