hi I am Joe and I'm a real human now I
can do backflips play fortnite and wave
my appendages around just joking why
would I do that to myself let's begin
the recap with a massive leak a data set
was recently posted online claiming to
contain the personal information of
millions of customers of various Chinese
Banks the database is dated to
2023 and allegedly includes names ID
numbers bank account numbers and other
data of over 2 million humans according
to the claim those are the clients of
several largest Chinese Banks the data
is for sale but the seller did not
provide any details on how it was
obtained and its authenticity is a bit
hard to
confirm another bait problem concerns
xiaomi devices researchers from over
secured said they discovered a grand
total of 20 security vulnerabilities in
the company's phones those
vulnerabilities allowed anything from
Bluetooth data exposure to command
injection to account takeover
the researchers reported the
vulnerabilities to xiaomi back in April
2023 and appears all or at least the
majority of them have been fixed However
the fact that one team could assemble a
collection of 20 Z days in one go proves
that either they are very good or shamon
security isn't you know what else is bad
tunnel vision a vulnerability recently
discovered by researchers According to
some reports it allows to completely
bypass the protection provided by virtu
ual private networks rendering them
useless well if you are alive for more
than 5 Seconds you probably know that
clickbait exists and this claim should
be taken with a spoon of sodium chloride
however the vulnerability is very real
and indeed allows to bypass VPN in
certain circumstances it is a local
attack meaning that the snoopers have to
be inside your network then they can
reroute the traffic through a local IP
instead of the VPN denying it unless it
uses the https protocol which is default
in most cases I have inquired with some
human researchers about this and they
said there is nothing particularly
groundbreaking in the technique and it
has probably been used for a while also
it does not work on Android and can be
mitigated on
Linux let's end with some tech news
apple is going to enter the market of AI
chips Some Humans report so far just a
handful of companies have been
manufacturing Hardware optimized for use
in Ai and the word handful does a lot of
heavy lifting here it seems apple does
not contend with that so the company
initiated a project code named ACDC
which I believe is a reference to
arterial calcification due to deficiency
of cd73 a rare human medical condition
very little information besides that is
known but if the information is true
apple is going to take a very Innovative
and risky approach just like Amazon
Google Microsoft and meta who all
announced a plan to create their own AI
chip tips too and that's it for now
