Researchers find deliberate backdoor in police radio encryption algorithm
In what may be a startling discovery, security researchers recently uncovered a deliberate backdoor inserted into the encryption algorithm used by police forces worldwide for wireless two-way radio communications. The backdoor was found in the TAIL algorithm, otherwise known as “Type-Appropriate Open Impact Layer”, which is a dual-mode algorithm designed for both broadcast and point-to-point… Continue reading Researchers find deliberate backdoor in police radio encryption algorithm
Stanford researchers find Mastodon has a massive child abuse material problem
Stanford researchers have come to a startling realization. Mastodon, a social media network that is considered as a safer and respectable alternative to other social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, has a major issue with child abuse material. According to the researchers, Mastodon has over 15 million active users and many of them… Continue reading Stanford researchers find Mastodon has a massive child abuse material problem
Elon Musk and top AI researchers call for pause on ‘giant AI experiments’
The move away from large-scale, high-impact artificial intelligence (AI) projects has been initiated by some of the top Artificial Intelligence researchers and tech giants such as Elon Musk. The move is aimed at a call to pause, which they have proposed in an open letter to the scientific community.
