Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security and Privacy Concerns

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security and Privacy Concerns Data Breaches : AI systems often require large datasets, which can be targeted by hackers to access sensitive information. Algorithmic Bias : AI systems can perpetuate and even amplify existing biases in data, leading to unfair outcomes. Transparency and Accountability : Ensuring AI decisions are transparent and that there is accountability for those decisions is crucial. Adversarial Attacks : Hackers can manipulate AI systems by feeding them misleading data, causing them to make incorrect decisions.

Watch Out! Hackers now use Google Calendar to steal your data

  Hackers have uncovered a novel method to exploit Google Calendar for their malicious activities, posing a significant cybersecurity threat to numerous internet users. Traditionally, cybercriminals have relied on a command and control (C2) infrastructure to execute malicious commands on infected endpoints. This infrastructure often involves compromised servers, but it has a major flaw: cybersecurity professionals are typically quick to detect these connections and halt them. However, hackers are now leveraging legitimate resources, such as  Google Calendar , as  C2  infrastructure. This approach significantly complicates the task of security experts who must identify and effectively counter these attacks. Google has already issued a warning to the entire security community about a proof-of-concept exploit known as "Google Calendar RAT" (GCR), circulating on the dark web. Hackers use Google Calendar to steal your data GCR operates by clandestinely establishing a chan...
