The American company Epirus has provided an impressive demonstration of its Leonidas microwave defense system, designed to combat drones. At the Camp Atterbury test site in Indiana, the system was able to neutralize 49 drones with a single pulse, and during the exercise, 61 devices were downed, with a 100% success rate. Drones are becoming an increasingly serious threat: they are small, can appear suddenly, and are cheap enough to be used en masse . This poses a threat not only to military aviation, but also to civilian aviation, whether from hooligans or simply uninformed users. Therefore, a whole range of anti-drone

This year, Microsoft celebrates its first 50 years, a milestone that reflects the company’s transformation from a small startup in 1975 to a global technology giant. Founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, Microsoft revolutionized the world of software with the Windows operating system, Office , and many other innovations, becoming a benchmark for users and businesses worldwide. Over the past half century, the company has reinvented itself many times, from software to cloud services with Azure, to artificial intelligence, and finally to cybersecurity. Beyond its iconic products, Microsoft has profoundly influenced digital culture and the global economy. From the democratization of

The undersea cables connecting the UK to the outside world are vital to the country, with transactions amounting to £220 billion every day. The Joint Committee on National Security Strategy (JCNSS) has called on the government to more actively protect cable infrastructure, the Register reports . A report published in September called the government “overly timid” in its approach to this issue. The report notes that 64 cables connect the country to the outside world , carrying the vast majority of traffic, while satellite traffic is negligible . Furthermore, digital backbones are quite difficult to protect: approximately 200 cables break each year

An Android banking Trojan and RAT called Klopatra masquerades as an IPTV and VPN app and has already infected over 3,000 devices . The malware is a Trojan capable of monitoring the device’s screen in real time, intercepting input, simulating gesture navigation, and features a stealth VNC (Virtual Network Computing) mode. Cleafy , the company that discovered the malware, notes that the Trojan is not associated with any documented Android malware family and appears to be the work of a Turkish hacking group. Klopatra is designed to steal banking credentials via overlays, steal clipboard contents and intercept keystrokes, steal victim accounts via

Google has unveiled a new AI tool for Drive for desktop. The model is said to have been trained on millions of real-world ransomware samples and can suspend syncing to mitigate the damage of a ransomware attack. Google Drive for desktop is an application designed to sync Google Drive with Windows and macOS, allowing you to keep local files synchronized with cloud storage. The developers say the new AI will look for signs of ransomware (such as attempts to encrypt or damage large numbers of files) and will be able to suspend file syncing, which will help prevent the malware from spreading

Microsoft has announced that it is investigating a significant issue with the traditional Outlook desktop client for the Windows operating system, which causes the application to crash upon startup. When a user tries to open the classic version of Outlook for Windows, the problem occurs. Instead of loading the mailbox, the application displays an error message stating: “Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. Cannot open the folder set. The attempt to log on to Microsoft Exchange failed.” To identify users potentially affected by this specific bug, Microsoft has provided IT administrators and technical teams with a precise diagnostic tool

A new hacker group linked to the Chinese Communist Party has been identified by experts at Palo Alto Networks. Unit 42, the California-based company’s threat intelligence division, has released a report revealing the existence of “Phantom Taurus”, a state-run organization that has been engaged in cyber espionage against government and diplomatic institutions for years. Targeted attacks and strategies consistent with Beijing’s interests According to the document, over the past three years the group has conducted covert operations against foreign ministries, embassies and telecommunications companies in the Middle East, Africa and Asia . The leaked information concerns geopolitical issues, foreign relations, and military

A study conducted at the Champalimode Foundation in Portugal has shown that a simple video recording is enough to “peek” into the thought process. Scientists discovered that mice’s facial expressions reflect their internal decision-making strategies. This finding paves the way for noninvasive studies of brain function, but also raises new questions about the boundaries of mental privacy. In previous experiments, rodents were presented with a task involving two bowls of water. Only one of them contained sugar water at a given time, and the animals had to guess where the reward was located. As the source changed, the mice had to adapt

Microsoft is accelerating the in-house production of semiconductors for its data centers, aiming to reduce its dependence on external suppliers like Nvidia and AMD. Kevin Scott, the tech giant’s Chief Technology Officer , said this on Wednesday, emphasizing that the long-term strategy calls for the predominant adoption of chips developed in-house. Data centers, the heart of the processing required for developing applications and artificial intelligence models, currently rely largely on GPUs from Nvidia, the undisputed leader in the industry, and to a lesser extent on AMD. However, Microsoft, like other cloud computing players, including Google and Amazon, is investing in the development

Starting September 1, 2025, all artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content in China must be marked with an “electronic watermark,” according to new legislation. The stated goal is to improve the transparency of digital content and reduce the spread of false information. In March this year, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) , together with four other departments, released the “Measures for Identifying Artificial Intelligence-Generated Synthetic Content” (known as the “Identification Measures” ). According to these rules, text, images, audio, video, and virtual scenes created using AI must carry both explicit identifiers, visible to users, and implicit identifiers, embedded in the data that produces
