Sony just announced a new camera sensor that claims to handle dynamic range like a pro. The LYTIA L910, with 50-megapixel resolution, is headed to smartphones later this summer. The standout specs include 100 dB of dynamic range and 4K/60fps video capture under maximum-brightness conditions, all while improving power efficiency. If your phone’s camera has ever blown out a night scene with bright LED signs in the background, or made a dark corner completely unreadable, this sensor fixes exactly that. Sony So what makes the LYTIA L910 different? Part of the reason the L910 can handle tough lighting so well…
Security researchers have uncovered a network of 152 Google Chrome extensions posing as live wallpaper and new-tab customization tools that secretly collected user information and generated fake web traffic to make money through advertising. The extensions, which featured popular themes ranging from anime characters and football stars to sports cars and video games, were spread across 38 different Chrome Web Store publisher accounts. Together, they amassed more than 105,000 installations, according to research from Socket’s Threat Research Team. The operation was linked to three backend brands: tabplugins[.]com, yowgames[.]com, and chromewallpaper[.]com. Researchers said the extensions were built from a shared codebase,…

I’ve spent some time investigating financial crime across the open web, dark web forums, and increasingly, across encrypted messaging platforms. Nothing, however, has shifted the threat landscape quite like Telegram. What began as a privacy-focused messaging app has quietly become one of the most active marketplaces for financial fraud, money laundering, carding, crypto laundering, and investment scams on the planet. For those of us doing investigations, whether you’re in law enforcement, financial intelligence, or private OSINT work, understanding how to operate on Telegram is no longer optional. It’s a core competency. This article is my operational methodology. I’m going to…
An auto factory worker can remember the storage bin where she left a partly assembled component the night before, and quickly return to that spot to pick it up. But robots that may work side-by-side with her would struggle to develop and access this same type of “spatiotemporal” memory.Now, MIT researchers have developed a long-term memory framework that allows robots to rapidly form and recall a detailed mental model of complicated, large-scale environments.In the future, this advance could allow the factory worker to send a robotic assistant to fetch the item, simply by asking it to “go and grab the…
It’s official. Elon Musk is now the world’s first-ever trillionaire, after his rocket ship company SpaceX’s record-shattering $2 trillion debut on the NASDAQ last Friday.With a mind-numbing net fortune of $1.4 trillion that is growing by the day, Musk is now worth more than the entire economy of Switzerland. He is more than 13 times as wealthy as Bill Gates, and if you are anywhere near middle class, he is over 11 million times wealthier than you. He’s rich enough to collectively purchase every seat for every single World Cup match, every stub in every city on Taylor Swift’s Eras…
Cyber resilience company CYGNVS Inc. today launched its AI Incident Command Center, a platform built to help organizations manage operational crises caused by their own artificial intelligence deployments. The product extends CYGNVS’ existing out-of-band incident platform to a new category of risk: failures in the models and agents companies are putting into production. Those failures range from biased outputs and hallucinations to data leakage and autonomous agents pursuing objectives in unintended or destructive ways. CYGNVS built its platform around isolation, the same principle security teams apply to ransomware response. The company said the architecture keeps incident response off the corporate…
