Financial services brands spent years running AI pilots. The ones winning on customer experience aren’t piloting anymore. They’re deploying at scale. Financial services has never had a shortage of customer data. Banks know when you get paid. Insurers know your risk profile down to your postcode. Wealth managers know your portfolio, your goals, your risk appetite, sometimes your tax situation. No other industry sits on this much behavioral and financial intelligence about the people it serves. And yet, for most customers, interacting with a financial services brand still feels like calling a number and waiting. That gap, between the data…

The North Korean threat actors behind the ClickFix-style campaigns that employ typosquatted Zoom and Microsoft Teams domains have been found to operate an active phishing kit to impersonate the videoconferencing platforms in social engineering campaigns designed to deliver malware. “BlueNoroff has operationalised trust abuse by combining compromised industry contacts, social engineering, wallet reconnaissance and malware delivery into a repeatable victim acquisition pipeline,” JUMPSEC said in a detailed report shared with The Hacker News. “The platform profiles victims’ cryptocurrency wallets before malware delivery, enabling selective targeting of high-value victims.” Describing the campaign as an operator-driven victim acquisition platform, the cybersecurity company…

Instagram head Adam Mosseri addressed the issue in a recent Instagram Story, saying the platform is “trying to fight that every way we can.” Two accounts down, but the rulebook is missing So far, the clearest sign of enforcement is two deactivated accounts, both run by pickup artists who used the…

In pursuit of autonomous nuclear plant operationsIt turns out the research for the master’s was just the tip of the iceberg. There was still work left to be done.For the future viability of nuclear power, small plants, located in rural areas, are a distinct possibility. Thus far, operations conducted in legacy plants have involved intensive manual operations, which are viable because these facilities operate at 100 percent capacity and the power delivered can justify the costs of maintaining a large staff. But microreactors distributed at scale and in remote areas can’t afford a large bench of human talent. It’s where…

Peptides are inching closer to the mainstream.A panel of experts on Thursday narrowly recommended that the Food and Drug Administration reclassify four popular peptides—including one endorsed by podcaster Joe Rogan—to allow certain pharmacies to legally dispense them.In an at-times emotionally charged meeting that lasted more than 11 hours, members of an FDA advisory committee heard data presentations from FDA staff on four unapproved peptides—BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, and MOTs-C—as well as testimony from health care practitioners, patients, pharmacies, and clinics.Members voted eight to six, with one abstention, to add three of the four peptides to the agency’s bulks list, meaning compounding…

Enterprise AI ambition is far outpacing the readiness of the enterprise AI stack, and the growing rift between proof-of-concept deployments and production-scale agent operations is where most organizations are grounded. Closing that rift is the fundamental basis of the partnership between Nutanix and AMD, according to Suresh Andani (pictured, right), chief corporate vice president of compute and enterprise AI at Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The two companies, linked by AMD’s $250 million investment in Nutanix, are building a joint enterprise AI stack that spans AMD’s CPU and GPU silicon, Nutanix’s software control plane and a shared go-to-market model designed to help…

A Russian state-supported espionage group spent months reading Western mailboxes through a then-unknown flaw in Zimbra’s webmail client. The payload goes after the last 90 days of email, the organization’s entire email directory, the password saved in the browser and the codes kept for two-factor recovery. Opening the message was enough to start it. The NSA, CISA and partner agencies published a joint advisory on the campaign Thursday, alongside research from Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 and Proofpoint. The advisory calls the technique “a view-based exploit that only requires a user to view a malicious email” in a vulnerable client.…
