New Cyberattack Warning For Millions Of Home Internet Routers: Report
Most routers used at home have a “guest network” feature nowadays, providing friends, visitors and contractors the option to get online without (seemingly) giving them access to a core home network. Unfortunately, a new report from researchers at Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has now suggested that enabling such guest networks introduces a critical security vulnerability. The advice […]
Academics steal data from air-gapped systems via a keyboard’s LEDs
CTRL-ALT-LED technique can exfiltrate data from air-gapped systems using Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs. The Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs on a keyboard can be used to exfiltrate data from a secure air-gapped system, academics from an Israeli university have proved. The attack, which they named CTRL-ALT-LED, is nothing […]
Signs from above: Drone with projector successfully trolls car AI
If the cars and the drones ever band together against us, we’re in trouble. After a recent demo using GNSS spoofing confused a Tesla, a researcher from Cyber@BGU reached out about an alternative bit of car tech foolery. The Cyber@GBU team recently demonstrated an exploit against a Mobileye 630 PRO Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS) installed on a Renault Captur, and […]
New computer attack mimics user’s keystroke characteristics and evades detection
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) cyber security researchers have developed a new attack called Malboard. Malboard evades several detection products that are intended to continuously verify the user’s identity based on personalized keystroke characteristics. The new paper, “Malboard: A Novel User Keystroke Impersonation Attack and Trusted Detection Framework Based on Side-Channel Analysis,” published in […]
Should cyber-security be more chameleon, less rhino?
Billions are being lost to cyber-crime each year, and the problem seems to be getting worse. So could we ever create unhackable computers beyond the reach of criminals and spies? Israeli researchers are coming up with some interesting solutions. The key to stopping the hackers, explains Neatsun Ziv, vice president of cyber-security products at Tel […]
Computer virus alters cancer scan images
A computer virus that can add fake tumours to medical scan images has been created by cyber-security researchers. In laboratory tests, the malware altered 70 images and managed to fool three radiologists into believing patients had cancer. The altered images also managed to trick automated screening systems. The team from Israel developed the malicious software to […]
Hospital viruses: Fake cancerous nodes in CT scans, created by malware, trick radiologists
Researchers in Israel created malware to draw attention to serious security weaknesses in medical imaging equipment and networks. When Hillary Clinton stumbled and coughed through public appearances during her 2016 presidential run, she faced critics who said that she might not be well enough to perform the top job in the country. To quell rumors […]
Researchers warn open sky drone policy poses cybercriminal risk
Left unchecked, our drones may pose significant risks to our privacy and security. Drones flying over populated areas, unchecked, represent a real threat to our privacy, researchers have warned. On Wednesday, academics from Israel’s Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) and Fujitsu System Integration Laboratories revealed the results of a new study which examined over […]
Talk about a cache flow problem: This JavaScript can snoop on other browser tabs to work out what you’re visiting
Yes, even the Tor browser can be spied on by this nasty code Special report Computer science boffins have demonstrated a side-channel attack technique that bypasses recently-introduced privacy defenses, and makes even the Tor browser subject to tracking. The result: it is possible for malicious JavaScript in one web browser tab to spy on other open […]
Deutsche Firmen holen sich Hilfe für Cybersicherheit im Land der ständigen Alarmbereitschaft
Bösartige Kühlschränke, entführte Autos, manipulierte Algorithmen – Schutz gegen Attacken aus dem Netz ist für Staaten wie Israel überlebenswichtig. Be’er Sheva/Tel AvivHinter „Golden Cup“ lauerte die Gefahr: Die Smartphone-App zur Fußball-WM in Russland sollte Live-Berichterstattung liefern. Doch sie nahm auch Telefonate auf, stahl Kontaktdaten und lieferte mittels GPS einen genauen Standort des Nutzers. Die Adressaten: israelische Soldaten. […]
