Doritos dye turns mice translucent, researchers find.

The study, published on Sept. 6 in the journal Science, explains how researchers at Stanford University in California used a common food dye called Yellow No. 5 — found in various foods and beauty products — on the skin of live mice

The ML in the ML-KEM name refers to Module Learning with Errors, a problem that can’t be cracked with Shor’s algorithm. As explained here

this problem is based on a “core computational assumption of lattice-based cryptography which offers an interesting trade-off between guaranteed security and concrete efficiency.”

The updates were made last week to SymCrypt, a core cryptographic code library for handing cryptographic functions in Windows and Linux.

The first new algorithm Microsoft added to SymCrypt is called ML-KEM. Previously known as CRYSTALS-Kyber, ML-KEM is one of three post-quantum standards formalized last month by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

#Microsoft has updated a key cryptographic library with two new encryption algorithms designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers.

The library provides cryptographic security used in email security, cloud storage, web browsing, remote access, and device management. Microsoft documented the update in a post on Monday.

@00pi yeah sideloading is relatively easy now but the new Integrity API will make it a lil more difficult to sideload apps in future though

Not impossible though that said the way Android security is heading that could change with updates making it impossible

@DavidKMresists well, as for the tech billionaires, having Vance as the VP is kinda like having "one of them" on the team and in daily contact with him

Vance will no doubt help their agendas

The three groups — which Sophos calls Cluster Alpha, Cluster Bravo and Cluster Charlie — each have ties to Chinese state-backed groups previously identified by other companies and governments - including APT15 and a subgroup of APT41 known by some researchers as “Earth Longzhi.”

The report follows up on one released in June about attacks on an unnamed government organization.

Researchers at Sophos published on Tuesday its second report covering what they call Crimson Palace — a Southeast Asia-based espionage campaign run by Chinese state-backed hackers.

Sophos examined activities last year by the three groups carrying out the campaign but after a brief hiatus researchers saw renewed activity from two of them in the fall of 2023 and throughout this year

Google is bringing Android closer to iPhone. Hardcore members of the Android fan club may not like it when I point this out, but that doesn’t make it less true.
