Edgar Cervantes / Android AuthorityTL;DR Leonardo US Cyber and Security Solutions is proposing its SignalTrace tech to law-enforcement agencies. SignalTrace could let police track vehicles using the electronic signals from phones, laptops, smartwatches, and other nearby devices alongside ALPR cameras. While Leonardo says the system does not identify individuals, recurring device signatures could potentially be linked to specific vehicles and their registered owners. The technology could help police track vehicles that evade license-plate cameras, but it could also flag innocent people when their devices appear in vehicles associated with an investigation. Imagine a world where the police can identify people…

As projects like Pacing the Frontier look to major labs as a way to keep AI research safe, open-source models have become a sore spot for the industry. With free distribution and little control over how they’re used, open-weight models aren’t easily controlled, leading some labs to treat them as downright scary. But at the Ai4 conference in Las Vegas last week, three of the world’s most respected AI researchers — Nobel Prize winner Geoffrey Hinton, World Labs CEO and co-founder Fei-Fei Li, and Coursera co-founder Andrew Ng — spoke out on the issue. And while they disagreed on particular…

A SharePoint vulnerability patched last month is now being exploited in the wild, with the attacks starting shortly after the release of a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-55040, was fixed by Microsoft with its July Patch Tuesday updates. Microsoft described it as a weak authentication issue that allows an attacker to bypass a security feature over a network. “Exploiting this vulnerability could allow an attacker to disclose files and modify data,” Microsoft said, adding, “In a network-based attack, an unauthenticated attacker could bypass authentication and make an anonymous connection.” Rapid7 disclosed the technical details of CVE-2026-55040 on…

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech As US lawmakers continue to ponder how to regulate AI, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders (VT-D) is issuing a dire warning. In a letter addressed to the CEOs of OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, Sanders highlighted several recent incidents involving AI agents from all three companies escaping their confines, gaining access to the internet, and infiltrating the systems of third parties. “Almost every day, there is a new story about how your companies are losing control of the AI technology you are developing, with potentially…

Artificial Intelligence has changed the way we surf the internet. Now, it is changing the way we interact with our computers. AI agents can now perform actions on your system by understanding instructions in natural language. You can use them to automate manual tasks, such as opening applications, moving files, browsing the internet for research […] This article How to Build AI-powered desktop automation workflows in Windows 11? first appeared on TheWindowsClub.com.

As much as I love reading for pleasure, reading academic literature for school might be one of the most mind-numbing things I engage in on a daily basis. The language is dense, the pages are endless, and the only imagery to accompany most of it is graphs or maps. This can create a backlog of reading between textbooks and PDFs piling up on any student’s desk, especially if they’re a slower reader or, like me, can lose focus halfway through any given chapter. A few years ago, I finally had enough of reading my textbooks the old-fashioned way. That’s when…

At DEF CON 34 in Las Vegas, security researcher Jonathan Brossard, known in the community as endrazine, announced the rebirth of the original Bugtraq mailing list. Established in 1993, Bugtraq is the original mailing list where cybersecurity vulnerabilities, mitigations, and cutting-edge techniques have been discussed at scale. With over 120,000 references from the NVD/CVE database, Bugtraq and its associated website securityfocus.com are a pillar of modern information security, providing moderated, quality information to Product Security teams and the larger infosec community, free of charge. For roughly a third of all catalogued vulnerabilities, SecurityFocus remains a primary technical reference. In a…

Limited-edition consoles usually settle for a new paint job with a new logo slapped on. But Sony is giving a little extra attention to detail to one of Marvel’s most beloved characters. The company has revealed its Marvel’s Wolverine limited-edition PS5 collection, headlined by a Battle Yellow PS5 Digital Edition covered in enormous claw marks that appear to tear through its outer shell and expose what lies underneath. A matching DualSense gets the same yellow-and-black treatment, complete with scratches and slashes inspired by Logan’s claws. The whole collection arrives September 15 alongside Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine, with preorders opening August…
