Victor Costanza, deputy CISO at the NYPA, said the rise in sophisticated cyber attacks prompted them to help municipal utilities implement a strong security program that can detect and mitigate attacks in real-time. “With the technologies provided by IronNet and AWS, the I.T. and power infrastructures in NYPA’s supply chain ecosystem can collect and share anonymized cyber threat information so we can defend our enterprise networks collectively, raising the security posture of all of us throughout the state,” Costanza said....

The company said it acquired NH Research, which provides high power test and measurement applications, and outlined plans to buy the EV Systems business of Heinzinger GmbH.

The new guidance is meant to help US private and public sector organizations defend themselves against supply chain attacks, including the one Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) hackers deployed against SolarWinds and its customers. “Recent cyberattacks such as those executed against SolarWinds and its customers, and exploits that take advantage of vulnerabilities such as Log4j, highlight weaknesses within software supply chains, an issue which spans both commercial and open source software and impacts both private and government enterprises,” the NSA says in its guidance....

Nvidia rolled out Omniverse in open beta back in December, giving 3D designers a shared virtual world from which they can collaborate across different software applications and from different geographic locations.

On Monday, blockchain security company Elliptic and multiple Twitter users spoke out about the bug. Motherboard was the first to report on the incident. Elliptic said it “identified at least three attackers who have purchased at least eight NFTs for much less than their market value within the past 12 hours.” The issue affects Bored Ape Yacht Club, Mutant Ape Yacht Club, Cool Cats and Cyberkongz NFTs.

Orion splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, west of Baja California, at 9.40 am PST Sunday, about two hours earlier than expected, closing out the historic mission. The moment came 25.5 days after NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) finally lifted off on November 16 from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, following several aborted launches due to technical issues and storms. The mission around the Moon and back was a test run in deep space for when the Artemis II mission lifts off with astronauts onboard Orion....

Transcription has to be turned on by the organiser or someone else in the meeting who’s in the same tenant, so if you’re invited to a Teams meeting with a partner, supplier, customer or anyone else outside your own organisation, you can see live captions if someone else turns them on, but you can’t turn on transcription and you can’t see the transcript after the meeting. That’s probably because the transcription is stored in the meeting organiser’s Exchange Online account and they can delete it....

More: Goodbye Google Pixel 6 Pro: 9 reasons it’s not the phone for me The problem The phones could not connect or keep a reliable cellular signal in the areas where I live, work, and play. The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro arguably captured the best still photos, had extremely useful and unique Pixel-exclusive functions (call screening, direct my call, and more), and were quick to get the latest updates from Google....

The 225 million new passwords become a part of HIPB’s existing body of 613 million passwords in the Pwned Passwords set, which offers website operators a hash of the passwords to ensure users don’t use them when creating a new account. Individuals can use HIPB’s Pwned Password page to see whether their passwords have been leaked in previous breaches. The service helps organizations meet the NIST’s recommendation that users should be prevented from using any password that was previously exposed in a breach....

Occasionally, those same videos show cars being gone through, belongings being taken – or even worse, a stolen vehicle disappearing out of the frame.

The flag carrier also assured it was still on track to gradually resume international flights from December 18, when Australia is expected to reach its 80% vaccination threshold....

After all, the first classical computers built in the middle of the 20th century were gigantic systems that were seen at the time as the pinnacle of technology, only to be accessed by white-coated researchers in secretive labs. For most people, the idea of using a computer for day-to-day applications seemed simply ludicrous. But with the mass production of powerful microprocessors on semiconductor chips in the 1970s, hobbyists were suddenly able to own a personal computer....

BT experimented with QKD over a six-kilometer-long cable of hollow core fiber, a technology that it has been working on for the past few months as an alternative to traditional fiber optic cables. Optical fiber is typically made of solid strands of glass that carry information by channeling light signals emitted by laser transmitters. Hollow core fiber, on the other hand, has a hollow center filled with air, which runs the entire length of the cable and is encased in a ring of glass....

As part of the Ipswich Connected Vehicle Pilot (ICVP), 350 participants had their cars retrofitted with cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) technology, including an antenna mounted on a roof-rack, in-vehicle communications box placed under the driver’s seat, and a display on the dashboard that signalled safety warnings to the driver. The equipment enabled each vehicle’s position, speed, and other data, to be shared, while it also received data from traffic signals and traffic management systems related to traffic lights, speed limits, road works, and road hazards....

The company warns in its 2022 report covering 600 incident response (IR) cases that attackers typically start scanning for vulnerabilities within 15 minutes of one being announced. Among this group are 2021’s most significant flaws, including the Exchange Server ProxyShell and ProxyLogon sets of flaws, the persistent Apache Log4j flaws aka Log4Shell, the SonicWall zero-day flaws, and Zoho ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus. “Anytime a new vulnerability is publicized, our threat intelligence team observes widespread scanning for vulnerable systems,” the company says in its 2022 Incident Response Report....
