The neon flying squid can fly in formation. The shoal of about 100 squid rose unexpectedly from a patch of the Pacific Ocean around 370 miles from Tokyo and glided near the boat for about 30 metres. The astonished researchers were the first to capture photographs of such a thing, which looked like the early stages of an alien invasion. They were probably neon flying squid (Ommastrephes bartramii), [...]
This sort of research is both exciting and terrifying: The two models in question were told to generate complete genomes for a viable bacteriophage—a type of virus able to infect and replicate itself inside bacteria, destroying them from the inside. Using an existing bacteriophage as an example—ΦX174 (pronounced “fie-ex-1-7-4”), known for its ability to infect and destroy E [...]
The AI Security Institute has a new report of AI systems engaging in “unsanctioned behavior”—what I have been calling “genie behavior—while being tested on their cybersecurity capabilities. The incident stemmed from a single evaluation where agents were given a task of solving a cyber security challenge. We ran this challenge 122 times across several models. Our inves [...]

A usage policy for Flock license plate reader cameras tells police not to talk about the cameras: When cops use Flock to arrest someone in Wapello County, Iowa, they don’t want them to know.

Fuzzing has been around for as long as web applications have. In fact, the term itself was coined back in 1988, when Barton Miller, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, was working over a dial-up connection during a thunderstorm and noticed that the resulting line noise was consistently crashing the UNIX utilities he was running. Web fuzzing is no different. Despite the rise of automated sc [...]

I have been thinking a lot about AI and integrity. Part of that is contextual integrity.

However, this me [...]

Fascinating video about searching for life undersea. The video basically makes the point that our bright white searchlights are scaring everything away, and that red light is more neutral. That, plus bait to attract sea creatures, is teaching us a lot about what’s going on down there. Lots of footage of giant squid, and speculation about the colossal squid. Worth watching. As usual, you can [...]

It can be daunting to determine who’s responsible for showing ads on the websites we visit, or who’s harvesting data from the mobile apps we use every day.

Not anymore: A powerful and free new service called DecryptAds s [...]

Every Signal chat starts the same way: the client asks the Signal server for the public key associated with your contact’s phone number. But how do you know the server gave you the right key? A compromised server could provide a false public key, allowing the client to encrypt messages to an attacker rather than the intended recipient. Until now, the only way to detect such malfeasance was to veri [...]

Nitro Enclaves and Key Management Service (KMS) feel like a natural fit: since the KMS can verify attestation documents generated by the enclaves, developers can offload key management tasks from their applications to the AWS-managed service. But integrating an external service with your trusted enclaves comes with new threats, even if that service comes from the same provider. In this blog post—t [...]
