Last year, researchers highlighted a WhatsApp vulnerability that can let an attacker alter users’ conversations. Despite disclosure, Facebook failed to fix the flaws. This year, researchers have deployed a WhatsApp Protocol Decryptor tool as well. The tool makes it much easier to exploit the flaw, as well as to decrypt the famous WhatsApp encryption. Researchers […]
Yeah, I know it doesn’t sound right, but this is what researchers have come up with. At the ongoing Black Hat conference in the USA, security researchers showed a weird method to hack Apple’s Face ID biometric system. The hack involves a pair of glasses with tape on them, fooling the Attention Detection feature of […]
A speculative execution vulnerability has been discovered by BitDefender researchers in systems running Intel modems built since 2012. SWAPGS vulnerability allows a malware-ridden program to access the computer’s kernel memory. This, in turn, allows the hacker to read sensitive data such as passwords, chat messages, e-mails, payment information and more. At the BlackHat conference 2019, […]
At the ongoing Black Hat USA 2019 conference, Microsoft announced the Azure Security Lab ‚ a sandbox-like environment for security researchers to test Azure security without putting the company’s customers at risk. The new Azure Cloud host testing environment will allow security researchers to test attacks on infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) scenarios without affecting users. With isolated […]
