Are we doomed?Midas TouchIt's been nearly a year since Nobel peace laureate and war criminal Henry Kissinger died but he's somehow still offering policy suggestions from beyond the grave.In an uncanny video introducing his posthumously-published book "Genesis," an AI-generated voice clone of the amply loathed Kissinger likens the burgeoning field of AI to the curse of King Midas.As the mythic tale goes, the Greek god Dionysus grants the greedy Midas a wish: that everything he touches will turn to gold. Before long, the king realizes that the gift is actually a curse when it comes true to the letter, and by the time he seeks to wash it off in the River Pactolus, he'd already lost his beloved daughter Marigold to it."What does this tell us," the robotic Kissinger voice intones, "about humanity trying to wield a power which they cannot possibly understand?"Mixed MessagesThis book co-written by Richard Nixon's secretary of state, alongside ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt and former Microsoft executive Craig Mundie, seems mixed in its takeaways about both the dangers and the benefits posed by AI."Eric, Craig, and I decided to write Genesis to examine what artificial intelligence means for humanity," AI Kissinger said, "and explore solutions to the challenges it poses."In the video, Mundie and Schmidt point out that they were the ones to introduce Kissinger to the concept of AI, and that in doing so, it brought the powerful trio closer than ever.Together, they theorized about what role AI will play in the so-calledHomo technicus era, a term coined two decades ago to describe the next era of human evolution in which we might essentially become one with the machine.While the technology could revolutionize everything from healthcare to diplomacy, as the AI voice clone of the architect of the Vietnam War said without a trace of irony, it could also threaten our very existence."As these AI systems become increasingly sophisticated," the Kissinger voice clone explained, "it is imperative that governments create an environment where ethical considerations and technological advancement can progress in tandem."It remains unclear whether that particular bit of advice will be heeded.During his forthcoming second presidency, Donald Trump has already vowed to unleash AI from its current barely-imposed constraints. He'll also, however, be once again bringing his son-in-law and onetime Kissinger protege Jared Kushner along for the ride.More on AI politics: AI Bros Terrified Singularity Will Hit While Trump Is PresidentShare This Article

"And this is only what can be said publicly."Grime TimeClaire "Grimes" Boucher is getting personal on Elon Musk's "everything" app as she opens up about how the right-wing billionaire has affected her and her art.The Canadian-born artist and mother to three of Musk's ever-growing litter of children suggested in a lengthy post on X-formerly-Twitter that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO is no longer the man she fell in love with.Boucher wrote that among the life experiences going into her next project, "detaching from the love of my life as he becomes unrecognizable to me" is chief among them.Though not explicitly stated, that sorry statement seems like a certain reference to Musk's rightward turn that led him to disown and disavow Vivian Jenna Wilson, his estranged transgender daughter, as part of his transphobic crusade that Boucher once said was "not [his] heart." Over the summer, Boucher publicly shared her support for Wilson and said she is "endlessly proud" of the 20-year-old.Beyond the bigotry, the billionaire has also become a newly-minted politico during his crusade to get Donald Trump back into the White House though given that Boucher has claimed she's apolitical, that may not matter all that much to her.Behind Closed DoorsIn the post, Grimes went on to say that having access to only a "fraction of [Musk]'s resources" and his "IQ/strategy experience," whatever that means is yet another difficulty she's gone through during the ordeal."And this is only what can be said publicly," she continued cryptically, "since most of my experience these last years should remain behind closed doors."Notably, these comments could discount reporting from Peopleearlier this month suggesting that Boucher and Musk were house-hunting together in Los Angeles as the multi-hyphenate business owner seeks to get all his exes and kids below the age of 18 into one massive compound.Then again, the 36-year-old singer did point out in her X post that during her protracted legal battle with Musk, she was painfully separated from one of their three children for five months which could, in a coercive way, incentivize her to join the billionaire's reproductive compound.Dramatic as her tempestuous partnership with Musk has been, Boucher said she's "grateful for every bullet" she's caught because it's leading her to create more and better art than ever before."It might be upsetting and provocative to many," she concluded, "but it's real and the people who will feel me will feel me."More on Musk's family matters: We Have to Point Out That Elon Musk Clearly Has Huge Daddy IssuesShare This Article

Nov 21, 2024Ravie LakshmananVulnerability / Cyber AttackAs many as 2,000 Palo Alto Networks devices are estimated to have been compromised as part of a campaign abusing the newly disclosed security flaws that have come under active exploitation in the wild.According to statistics shared by the Shadowserver Foundation, a majority of the infections have been reported in the U.S. (554) and India (461), followed by Thailand (80), Mexico (48), Indonesia (43), Turkey (41), the U.K. (39), Peru (36), and South Africa (35).Earlier this week, Censys revealed that it had identified 13,324 publicly exposed next-generation firewall (NGFW) management interfaces, with 34% of these exposures located in the U.S. However, it's important to note that not all of these exposed hosts are necessarily vulnerable.The flaws in question, CVE-2024-0012 (CVSS score: 9.3) and CVE-2024-9474 (CVSS score: 6.9), are a combination of authentication bypass and privilege escalation that could allow a bad actor to perform malicious actions, including modifying configurations and executing arbitrary code.Palo Alto Networks, which is tracking the initial zero-day exploitation of the flaws under the name Operation Lunar Peek, said they are being weaponized to achieve command execution and drop malware, such as PHP-based web shells, on hacked firewalls.The network security vendor has also warned that cyber attacks targeting the security flaws are likely to escalate following the availability of an exploit combining them.To that end, it said it "assesses with moderate to high confidence that a functional exploit chaining CVE-2024-0012 and CVE-2024-9474 is publicly available, which will enable broader threat activity."It further noted that it has observed both manual and automated scanning activity, necessitating that users apply the latest fixes as soon as possible and secure access to the management interface as per recommended best practice deployment guidelines.This particularly includes restricting access to only trusted internal IP addresses to prevent external access from the internet.Found this article interesting?

Nov 21, 2024Ravie LakshmananCyber Espionage / MalwareThe China-aligned advanced persistent threat (APT) actor known as Gelsemium has been observed using a new Linux backdoor dubbed WolfsBane as part of cyber attacks likely targeting East and Southeast Asia.That's according to findings from cybersecurity firm ESET based on multiple Linux samples uploaded to the VirusTotal platform from Taiwan, the Philippines, and Singapore in March 2023.WolfsBane has been assessed to be a Linux version of the threat actor's Gelsevirine backdoor, a Windows malware put to use as far back as 2014. Also discovered by the company is another previously undocumented implant named FireWood that's connected to another malware toolset known as Project Wood.FireWood has been attributed to Gelsemium with low confidence, given the possibility that it could be shared by multiple China-linked hacking crews."The goal of the backdoors and tools discovered is cyber espionage targeting sensitive data such as system information, user credentials, and specific files and directories," ESET researcher Viktor perka said in a report shared with The Hacker News."These tools are designed to maintain persistent access and execute commands stealthily, enabling prolonged intelligence gathering while evading detection."The exact initial access pathway used by the threat actors is not known, although it's suspected that the threat actors exploited an unknown web application vulnerability to drop web shells for persistent remote access, using it to deliver the WolfsBane backdoor by means of a dropper.Besides using the modified open-source BEURK userland rootkit to conceal its activities on the Linux host, it's capable of executing commands received from an attacker-controlled server. In a similar vein, FireWood employs a kernel driver rootkit module called usbdev.ko to hide processes, and run various commands issued by the server. The use of WolfsBane and FireWood is the first documented use of Linux malware by Gelsemium, signaling an expansion of the targeting focus."The trend of malware shifting towards Linux systems seems to be on the rise in the APT ecosystem," perka said. "From our perspective, this development can be attributed to several advancements in email and endpoint security.""The ever-increasing adoption of EDR solutions, along with Microsoft's default strategy of disabling VBA macros, are leading to a scenario where adversaries are being forced to look for other potential avenues of attack."Found this article interesting?

Carrie Pallardy, Contributing ReporterNovember 21, 20244 Min ReadSOPA Images Limited via Alamy Stock PhotoThe way Microsoft provided the US government with cybersecurity upgrades is under scrutiny. ProPublica published a report that delves into the White House Offer: a deal in which Microsoft sent consultants to install cybersecurity upgrades for free. But those free product upgrades were only covered for up to one year.Did this deal give Microsoft an unfair advantage, and what could it take to shift the federal governments reliance on the tech giants services?The White House OfferProPublica spoke to eight former Microsoft employees that played a part in the White House Offer. With their insight, the ProPublicas report details how this deal makes it difficult for users in the federal government to shift away from Microsofts products and how it helped to squeeze out competition.While the cybersecurity upgrades were initially free, government agencies need to pay come renewal time. After the installation of the products and employee training, switching to alternatives would be costly.ProPublica also reports that Microsoft salespeople recommended that federal agencies drop products from competitors to save costs.Critics raise concerns that Microsofts deal skirted antitrust laws and federal procurement laws.Why didn't you allow a Deloitte or an Accenture or somebody else to say we want free services to help us do it? Why couldn't they come in and do the same thing? If a company is willing to do something for free like that, why should it be a bias to Microsoft and not someone else that's capable as well? asks Morey Haber, chief security advisor at BeyondTrust, an identity and access security company. Related:ProPublica noted Microsofts defense of its deal and the way it worked with the federal government. Microsoft declined to comment when InformationWeek reached out.Josh Bartolomie, vice president of global threat services at email security company Cofense, points out that the scale of the federal government makes Microsoft a logical choice.The reality of it is there are no other viable platforms that offer the extensibility, scalability, manageability other than Microsoft, he tells InformationWeek.The Argument for DiversificationOverreliance on a single security vendor has its pitfalls. Generally speaking, you don't want to do a sole provider for any type of security services. You want to have checks and balances. You want to have risk mitigations. You want to have fail safes, backup plans, says Bartolomie.And there are arguments being made that Microsoft created a cybersecurity monoculture within the federal government.Related:Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) raised concerns and called for a multi-vendor approach.DoD should embrace an alternate approach, expanding its use of open-source software and software from other vendors, that reduces risk-concentration to limit the blast area when our adversaries discover an exploitable security flaw in Microsofts, or another companys software, they wrote in a letter to John Sherman, former CIO of the Department of Defense.The government has experienced the fallout that follows exploited vulnerabilities. A Microsoft vulnerability played a role in the SolarWinds hack.Earlier this year it was disclosed that Midnight Blizzard, a Russian state-sponsored threat group,executed a password spray attack against Microsoft. Federal agency credentials were stolen in the attack, according to Cybersecurity Dive.There is proof out there that the monoculture is a problem, says Haber.PushbackMicrosofts dominance in the government space has not gone unchallenged over the years. For example, the Department of Defense pulled out of a $10 billion cloud deal with Microsoft. The contract, the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), faced legal challenges from competitor AWS.Related:Competitors could continue to challenge Microsofts dominance in the government, but there are still questions about the cost associated with replacing those services.I think the government has provided pathways for other vendors to approach, but I think it would be difficult to displace them, says Haber.A New AdministrationCould the incoming Trump administration herald changes in the way the government works with Microsoft and other technology vendors?Each time a new administration steps in, Bartolomie points out that there is a thirst for change. Do I think that there's a potential that he [Trump] will go to Microsoft and say, Give us better deals. Give us this, give us that? That's a high possibility because other administrations have, he says. The government being one of the largest customers of the Microsoft ecosystem also gives them leverage.Trump has been vocal about his America First policy, but how that could be applied to cybersecurity services used by the government remains to be seen. Do you allow software being used from a cybersecurity or other perspective to be developed overseas? asks Haber.Haber points out that outsourced development is typical for cybersecurity companies. I'm not aware of any cybersecurity company that does exclusive US or even North America builds, he says.Any sort of government mandate requiring cybersecurity services developed solely in the US would raise challenges for Microsoft and the cybersecurity industry as a whole.While the administrations approach to cybersecurity and IT vendor relationships is not yet known, it is noteworthy that Trumps view of tech companies could be influential. Amazon pursued legal action over the $10 billion JEDI contract, claiming that Trumps dislike of company founder Jeff Bezos impacted its ability to secure the deal, The New York Times reports.About the AuthorCarrie PallardyContributing ReporterCarrie Pallardy is a freelance writer and editor living in Chicago.

Shane Snider, Senior Writer, InformationWeekNovember 21, 20245 Min ReadIvan Marc Sanchez via Alamy StockA bi-partisan US congressional group this week released a report urging a Manhattan Project style effort to develop AI that will be able to outthink humans before China can win the AI arms race.The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission outlined the challenges and threats facing the US as powerful AI systems continue to quickly proliferate. The group calls for the government to fund and collaborate with private tech firms to quickly develop artificial general intelligence (AGI).The Manhattan Project was the historic collaboration between government and the private sector during World War II that culminated in the development of the first atomic bombs, which the US infamously unleashed on Japan. The subsequent proliferation of nuclear weapons led to an arms race and policy of mutually assured destruction that has so far deterred wartime use, but sparked the Cold War between the United States and Russia.While the Cold War with Russia ultimately ended in 1991, the nuclear stalemate caused by the arms pileup remains.A new stalemate may be brewing as superpowers race to develop AGI, which ethicists warn could present an existential threat to humanity. Many have likened such a race to the plot of the Terminator movie, where the fictional company Cyberdyne Systems works with the US government to achieve a type of AGI that ultimately leads to a nuclear catastrophe.Related:The commissions report doesnt sugarcoat the possibilities. The United States is locked in a long-term strategic competition with China to shape the rapidly evolving global technological landscape, according to the report. The rise in emerging tech like AI could alter the character of warfare and for the country winning the race, would tip the balance of power in its favor and reap economic benefits far into the 21st century.AI Effort in China ExpandsChinas State Council in 2017 unveiled its New Artificial Intelligence Development Plan, aiming to become the global leader in AI by 2030.The US still has an advantage, with more than 9,500 AI companies compared to Chinas nearly 2,000 companies. Private investment in the US dwarfs Chinas effort, with $605 billion invested, compared to Chinas $86 billion, according to a report from the non-profit Information Technology & Innovation Foundation.But Chinas government has poured a total of $184 million into AI research, including facial recognition, natural language processing, machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, robotics, automation, computer vision, data science, and cognitive computing.Related:While four US large language models (LLMs) sat on top of performance charts in April 2024, by June, only OpenAIs GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 remained on top. The next five models were all from China-backed companies.The gap between the leading models from the US industry leaders and those developed by Chinas foremost tech giants and start-ups is quickly closing, the report says.Where the US Should FocusThe report details areas that could make the biggest impact on the AI arms race where the US currently has an advantage, including advanced semiconductors, compute and cloud, AI models, and data. But China, the report contends, is making progress by subsidizing emerging technologies.The group recommends a priority on AI defense development for national security, with contracting authority given to the executive branch. The commission urges US Congress to establish and fund the program, with the goal of winning the AGI development race.The report also recommends banning certain technologies controlled by China, including autonomous humanoid robots, and products that could impact critical infrastructure. US policy has begun to shift to recognize the importance of competition with China over these critical technologies, the report states.Related:Manoj Saxena, CEO and founder of Responsible AI Institute and InformationWeek Insight Circle member, says the power of AGI should not be underestimated as countries race toward innovation.One issue is rushing to develop AGI just to win a tech race and not understanding the unintended consequences that these AI systems could create, he says. it could create a situation where we cannot control things, because we are accelerating without understanding what the AGI win would look like.Saxena says the AGI race may result in the need for another Geneva Convention, the global war treaties and humanitarian guidance that were greatly expanded after World War II.But Saxena says a public-private collaboration may lead to better solutions. As a country, were going to get not just the best and brightest minds working on this, most of which are in the private sector, but we will also get wider perspectives on ethical issues and potential harm and unintended consequences.An AI Disaster in the Making?Small actors have limited access to the tightly controlled materials needed to make a nuclear weapon. AI, on the other hand, enjoys a relatively open and democratized environment. Ethicists worry that ease of access to powerful and potentially dangerous systems may widen the threat landscape.RAI Institutes Saxena says weaponization of AI is already occurring, and it might take a catastrophic event to push all parties to the table. I think there is going to be some massive issues around AI going rogue, around autonomous weapon attacks that go out of control somewhere Unfortunately, civilization progresses through a combination of regulations, enforcement, and disasters.But in the case of AI, regulations are far behind, he says. Enforcements are also far behind, and it's more likely than not that there will be some disasters that will make us wake up and have some type of framework to limit these things.About the AuthorShane SniderSenior Writer, InformationWeekShane Snider is a veteran journalist with more than 20 years of industry experience.

The following post contains minor SPOILERS for Wicked.I assume youre reading this because you want to know how the film compares to the Broadway show. If you dont,youre about to haveone short day in the Emerald City.In some ways, theWickedmovieis one of the most faithful adaptations of a hit Broadway musical. It features all of the showsbest-knownsongs, including Defying Gravity, The Wizard and I, and Popular. All of the shows characters appear in their familiar roles. Even some of the dialogue is repeated verbatim on the big screen.In other ways, it is drastically different from the play. Has any movie musical based on a stage play ever adaptedjusthalf of the original show before? Thats the case here.As the dad of two deeply obsessedWickedgirls (and the husband of aWickedobsessed wife who got the kids hooked on the show in the first place) Im extremely familiar with BroadwaysWicked.In fact, I saw it for the third time for my daughters birthday less than a month ago. Alsomy family has listened to theWicked soundtrack approximately 38,000 times, and my daughters perform their favorite numbers nightly in our living room. (Theyre actually getting pretty good at Loathing. Please dont tell them I said that, it will only encourage them.)Long story short: Ive got a pretty good handle on the differences between the twoWickeds. There are other minor changes. (Defying Gravity is extended with a lot of additional dialogue between the verses, for example.), but these are the big ones.The Differences Between the Wicked Movie and ShowThe Wicked movie is faithful to the long-running Broadway show but it does make a few significant changes to its source material.READ MORE: The Best Movie Musicals For People Who Hate MusicalsGet our free mobile appFamous Movies Featuring Once-Beloved Products That No Longer ExistThese movies now work as time capsules, capturing a time when these now-defunct products existed.

Thestory of the nextScreamsequel (Scream VII for those keeping score at home)is coming into focus with the news that the movie will feature the grown daughter one of one of the franchises original heroes, Sidney Prescott, played by Neve Campbell.After sitting outScream VI, Campbell is expected to return for the film as well.PerVariety, the character of Sidneys daughter will be played by Isabel May, who is known for portraying Elsa Dutton on the Yellowstonespinoffs1883and1923.ParamountParamountloading...READ MORE: 10 Horror Movies So Extreme They Made People SickScream 7has not had an easy development process, despite comingon the heels of two fairly successful franchise-revitalizing legacyquels, 2022sScream and 2023s Scream VI. While those films featured the surviving originalScreamcharacters to some degree, including Campbells Sidney plus Courteney Coxs Gale Weathers and David Arquettes Dewey Riley, theirmain stars were a new generation of younger actors. Most centrally, they followed a pair of sisters, played by Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, who turn out to have a connection to the original Ghostface.But then Barrera was fired from Scream VII, allegedly over controversial social media posts, and Ortega dropped out of the film as well. The projects director, Christopher Landon, then left as well, and later said publicly that the gig was a dream job that turned into a nightmare.Eventually, Kevin Williamson, the co-creator of the franchise anda writer onScream,Scream 2, andScream 4, came aboard to direct. It is his first time directing a movie in the series, and only the second time in his career that hes directed a feature film.The recent sequelsdid establishthat Sidney had started a family betweenScream 4 andScream, but Im not sure the math checks out for her to have a daughter as old as Isabel May. According to Wikipedia, her first childwas born in roughly 2013. May is 24 years old. So either the film will be set a few years in the future, May will be playing much younger than her real age, or the film will just retcon what theyd previously established about Sidneys family.Scream 7is scheduled to open in theaters on February 27, 2026.Get our free mobile appEvery Scream Movie RankedGhostface has slashed his way through more than two decades of horror movies.
