has collected data on the outcomes of patients who have acquired “Pathogen A” responsible for an infectious respiratory illness. Available are 8 features of each patient and the outcome: (a) treated at home and recovered, (b) hospitalized and recovered, or (c) died. It has proven trivial to train a neural net to predict one of the three outcomes from the 8 features with almost complete accuracy. However, the health authorities would like to predict something that was not captured: From the patients who can be treated at home, who are the ones who are most at danger of having to…
A security vulnerability in a major carmaker’s online portal exposed customer data and could have let hackers remotely unlock vehicles.

The Current Landscape of Automotive Cybersecurity Modern vehicles are essentially computers on wheels. With up to 100 million lines of code and a growing number of wireless interfaces — from infotainment to vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication — each new feature is a potential entry point for hackers. Automotive cybersecurity focuses on securing these systems from unauthorized access, data breaches, and malicious control. Key Vulnerabilities in Connected Vehicles The rise of electric vehicles (EVs), autonomous driving systems, and over-the-air (OTA) updates has introduced complex cybersecurity risks. Hackers can exploit weaknesses in ECUs (electronic control units), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections, and even tire…
