“[W]e’ve demonstrated that attackers can manipulate Gemini for Workspace’s outputs in Gmail, Google Slides, and Google Drive, allowing them to perform #phishing attacks and manipulate the #chatbot’s behavior. While #Google classifies these as "Intended Behaviors", the vulnerabilities explored highlight the importance of being #vigilant when using LLM-powered tools.”

This is a #FunFact (not): #DDoS against Environmental Services Industry surged by 61,839% in 2023. 🤯

As the article notes, I too have noticed a trend for longer and stronger DDoS attacks lately, as well as enhanced sophistication with techniques. A lot of the uptick has to do with the active wars in #Gaza and the #Ukraine, but not all of it.

""This recurring pattern underscores the growing intersection between environmental issues and #cybersecurity, a nexus that is increasingly becoming a focal point for #attackers in the digital age," the researchers said."

#CyberWarfare has been in full effect for a while now, and isn't going anywhere. It will only get worse.

Limit your #DigitalFootprint Make sure your #OpSec is on point at all times. Keep up with #EmergingTechnologies in the space so you can #secure yourself as much as you can. #BeCyberAware #StayCyberSafe
