Threat actors are employing a new variation of the ClickFix social engineering technique called InstallFix to convince users into running malicious commands under the pretext of installing legitimate command-line interface (CLI) tools. The new trick exploits the common practice among developers these days of downloading and executing scripts through ‘curl-to-bash’ commands from online sources without closely inspecting the assets first. Researchers at Push Security, a browser threat detection and response company, found that attackers use the new InstallFix technique with cloned pages for popular CLI tools that serve malicious install commands. Since the current security model “boils down to ‘trust…

In honor of International Women’s Day, we asked five women at EFF about women in digital rights, freedom of expression, technology, and tech activism who have inspired us.   Anna Politkovskaya  Jillian York, Activist This International Women’s Day, I want to honor the memory of Anna Politkovskaya, the Russian investigative journalist who relentlessly exposed political and social abuses, endured harassment and violence for her work, and was ultimately killed for telling the truth. I had just started my career when I learned of her death, and it forced me to confront that freedom of expression isn’t an abstract principle but rather something people risk—and sometimes lose—their lives for.  Her story reminds me that journalism at…

When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 Ultra at the late-February Galaxy Unpacked event, everyone was buzzing about the new Privacy Display feature. Not only that, but Samsung claimed it has finally upgraded its displays to true 10-bit panels, capable of displaying over a billion colors and eliminating the color banding that has plagued its flagships for years.While that last part is true of the S26 Ultra’s screen, Samsung confirmed to Android Authority that the displays were actually 8-bit panels (16.7 million colors), not 10-bit (1.07 billion colors) as initially advertised.

However, like any other device, a Raspberry Pi doesn’t fit into every mold, requirement, or scheme. It’s a tiny computing device, and most of us overestimate its capabilities. There’s also a problem of using the incorrect Raspberry Pi model for a project, due to which the overall setup feels sluggish and underpowered. I’ve had my fair share of Raspberry Pi mishaps where using the wrong Pi model or an SBC forced me to rebuild everything…

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a multi-stage malware campaign that uses batch scripts as a pathway to deliver various encrypted remote access trojan (RATs) payloads that correspond to XWorm, AsyncRAT, and Xeno RAT. The stealthy attack chain has been codenamed VOID#GEIST by Securonix Threat Research. At a high level, the obfuscated batch script is used to deploy a second batch script, stage a legitimate embedded Python runtime, and decrypt encrypted shellcode blobs, which are executed directly in memory by injecting them into separate instances of “explorer.exe” using a technique called Early Bird Asynchronous Procedure Call (APC) injection. “Modern malware…

OpenAI is backing away from putting checkout directly inside ChatGPT. Instead, purchases will shift to retailer apps that connect to ChatGPT, The Information reported. Why we care.

That suggests AI-powered shopping is only influencing the consideration stage (at least for now), not driving conversions. What happened. OpenAI had planned to let shoppers buy products directly from listings in ChatGPT search results. Instead, an OpenAI spokesperson said that Instant Checkout is moving to Apps, where purchases happen inside connected…
