September 14, 2023 #9 - The collapse of LAPSUS$ and the risks of AI data poisoning
👀 Here's a sneak peek at today’s episode:
🔒 Stay ahead of the game! LAPSUS$ Hackers may be making waves. Two members of this notorious group faced consequences in the UK, but shockingly, they continued their hacking activities even while under house arrest.
🤖 Data Poisoning in AI Training is a growing concern. Hackers can manipulate the data used to train AI models, introducing risks and vulnerabilities. Validating data integrity and randomizing data ingestion times are useful mitigations against this threat.
💻 The WinRAR Vulnerability (CVE-2023-38831)! This flaw was exploited against crypto-traders to infect their devices with malware, but should be considered a low concern for cloud customers unless using virtual desktops.
