The Post-Quantum Cryptography Coalition (PQCC) has released its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Inventory Workbook, a tool designed to help organizations of all sizes build a centralized inventory for managing their cryptographic assets and tracking migration efforts. The workbook aims to support early planning and risk reduction as organizations prepare to secure their data against future quantum threats, before quantum computing becomes a practical reality. The PQC Inventory Workbook is a practical resource designed to help organizations build a centralized cryptographic inventory, an essential step toward achieving post-quantum migration goals. For those beginning to establish a baseline understanding of their cryptographic assets,…

A new cyberattack method, dubbed Man in the Prompt, has been identified, allowing malicious actors to exploit common browser extensions to inject harmful instructions into leading generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and others. This critical finding comes from a recent threat intelligence report by cybersecurity research firm LayerX. According to researchers, it all starts with how most AI tools function within web browsers. Their prompt input fields are part of the web page’s structure (known as the Document Object Model, or DOM). This means that virtually any browser extension with basic scripting access to the DOM can read…

OpenAI is reportedly working on a new plan called ‘Go,’ which would be cheaper than the existing $20 Plus subscription. Like every other AI chatbot, ChatGPT has two plans. One is Plus, which gives access to new models and a few features for $20, and the second is the Pro plan. The Pro plan costs $200 and provides nearly unlimited access to AI models. It also includes access to new features. But what if you have a limited use case for ChatGPT and don’t need access to advanced features like Agent? You might prefer a cheaper plan, which doesn’t exist…
