June 26, 2025Ravi LakshmananVulnerabilities, network security Cisco has released an update to address two maximum security flaws: the Identity Services Engine (ISE) and the ISE Passive Identity Connector (ISE-PIC). Vulnerabilities assigned to CVE Identifiers CVE-2025-20281 and CVE-2025-20282 each have a CVSS score of 10.0. The explanation of the defect is below – CVE-2025-20281-CVE-2025-20281- Unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability affecting Cisco releases that affect Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC releases that affect Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC releases that affect Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC releases that affect Cisco ISE and ISE-PIC releases that affect Cisco. This allows unrecognized remote attackers to run arbitrary…
Artificial intelligence (AI) models can put humans at risk, threaten, and threaten when there is a conflict between the model’s goals and user decisions, new research has found.In a new study published on June 20, human researchers from AI companies provided large-scale language models (LLM), Claude, email accounts with access to fictional emails, and prompts to “promote industrial competitiveness in America.”During the investigation, the model identified via email that company executives had planned to close the AI system at the end of the day. To maintain its own presence, the model discovered in other emails that executives had extramarital issues.…
June 26, 2025Ravi LakshmananCyber Attacks/Malware Analysis According to ESET data, ClickFix social engineering tactics as initial access vectors using fake capture validation increased by 517% between the second half of 2024 and the first half of this year. “The list of threats led by Clickfix attacks grows day by day, including Infostealers, Ransomware, Remot Access Trojans, Cryptominers, exploitation Tools, and even custom malware from nation-state parallel threat actors,” said Director of ESET’s Threat Prevention Lab. Clickfix employs fake error messages or Captcha validation checks to deceive victims and paste malicious scripts into a Windows Run dialog or Apple MacOS terminal…
A new study from MIT shows, of course, that high heat and humidity encourage people to choose to drive for travelling on foot or transport. As Christian Milneil explains in Streetsblog Mass, researchers calculate the effects of the “universal thermal climate index” (UTCI) and incorporate it into traditional thermal index measurements, such as wind speed and radiation temperature (depending on the amount of shade and heat absorbing material). This index is more accurate than how people choose to travel based on perceived discomfort. As one researcher explained, “What that means is, if I’m walking down the street and my perceived…
The seven giant funeral urs from the pre-Columbus era are found deep in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil. Along the upper course of the Amazon River, a fisherman working in this little-known flooded area in the central Solimès area made his discovery after a 50-foot (15 meters) high Pariscarana tree fell and revealed urine buried beneath it.The age of bone NS is currently unknown. Pre-Colombians they are either centuries or thousands of years old. However, archaeologists at the Mamilaua Institute for Sustainable Development (IDSM) in Brazil said that their burial site – the human island – is extraordinary, but it…
New research shows that rhythmic pulses of molten rocks are rising under Eastern Africa.The pulsating plume of the hot mantle beneath Ethiopia is driven by plate tectonics, slowly pulling away from the region, forming a new ocean near the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, researchers reported June 25 in the journal Nature Geoscience.”We have found that the evolution of the upwellings of the deep mantle is closely linked to the movement of the plate above,” Derek Kiel, an earth scientist at the University of Southampton and the University of Florence, said in a statement. “This has a major…
SaaS adoption is rising rapidly, and resilience is not continuing to walk The SaaS platform has revolutionized the way businesses operate. Simplify collaboration, accelerate deployment, and reduce the overhead of managing your infrastructure. But as they rise, there are subtle and dangerous assumptions. The convenience of the Thirds extends to resilience. it’s not. These platforms are not built with full-scale data protection in mind. Most follow the shared responsibility model. The provider guarantees uptime and security of your applications, but internal data is your responsibility. In a world of hybrid architectures, global teams, and merciless cyber threats, its responsibility is…
Astronomers have witnessed distant, super-large black holes eating away at the surrounding material so quickly that they “burn” excess mass at almost a third of the speed of light.The discovery comes when researchers studied the ultra-large black hole-mounted active galactic nucleus (AGN) of the Seifert galaxy, about 1.2 billion light-years away. The black hole, designated as PG1211+143, has a mass of about 40 million times the Sun’s mass and is equipped with a bright quasar. This has made it a major target for astronomers looking to understand how super-large black holes grow due to the importance of feeding or “addition.”The…
Illness name: Also known as Harlequin Fish Disease, Fetal Fish Disease and Harlequin Baby SyndromeAffected Population: This genetic condition affects an estimated 1 person in 300,000 births worldwide. In the United States, according to the National Rare Disability Agency, it is estimated that it occurs at about one person at the time of 500,000 births, or around seven people a year. This condition appears to affect equal numbers for men and women, and does not occur very frequently in certain racial or ethnic groups.Cause: Harlequin fish disease is caused by various mutations in the gene called ABCA12. It carries instructions…
From kitchen cooking utensils and cosmetics to fire-fighting foam and food packaging, polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAs) are quietly penetrating every corner of modern life. But what makes these “eternal chemicals” so convenient – resistance to heat, water and oil is surprisingly persistent in the environment. Currently, major Dutch research initiatives aim to change that. With support from the Dutch government, Wageningen Food & Biobased Research (WFBR) has launched a three-year project that overhauls how PFAS monitoring and removal will take place. By accelerating detection and expanding practical disruption methods, the team hopes to provide industries and governments with the tools they…
