The largest risk for Bitcoin (BTC) in the event of a quantum computing breakthrough is the potential adaptation window to become resistant, VanEck’s head of digital assets research Matt Sigel wrote in a June 2 post on X.He said banks, tech platforms, and other blockchains face the same cryptographic weakness as Bitcoin does in the context of post-quantum computing. Yet, most can patch their servers once post-quantum standards clear the National Institute of Standards and Technology process.Sigel noted that custodians, exchanges, and even Ethereum (ETH) could introduce lattice- or hash-based signature schemes behind the scenes. Central control allows them to…

I a never-so-mentioned topic, that being how we can make sense of grammar in a non-statistical way. Many AI models, such as DeepMind’s GEM, and Google’s PARSEVAL don’t rely purely on statistical learning to make sense of grammar. Instead, these hybrid models reintroduce formal grammars, such as Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG), into their architecture. This allows these models to make use of decades of Linguistic analysis in just a few lines of code. Theoretically, allowing them to reach the same level of competence in less time and at less cost. But how can we turn grammar into something a computer…

An international law enforcement operation shut down a cybercriminal services designed to encrypt and test their malware to ensure that their malware could not be detected by antivirus or other cybersecurity tools.Agencies from the United States, the Netherlands, and Finland seized the domain for AVCheck, a major counter antivirus (CAV) service that was used by threat groups to test if their malware could be detected by antivirus programs before they deployed it in the wild.At the same time, the U.S. Justice Department seized four domains and their associated server that was used to provide crypting services – including CAV tools…

Microsoft and CrowdStrike announced today that they’ve partnered to connect the aliases used for specific threat groups without actually using a single naming standard. As the two companies explained on Monday, this will be done by mapping (or linking) the different names their security analysts use for each group they track. Microsoft has updated its threat actor reference guide with a list of common hacking groups tracked by CrowdStrike and Redmond, all mapped using each company’s naming systems. “This reference guide serves as a starting point, a way to translate across naming systems so defenders can work faster and more…

Two U.S. Senators have introduced legislation designed to deepen cybersecurity collaboration within the nation’s energy infrastructure. The proposed measure seeks to formalize and expand the role of the Department of Energy’s Energy Threat Analysis Center in facilitating cross-sector threat intelligence exchange. Titled ‘Energy Threat Analysis Program Act,’ the bipartisan legislative effort if enacted would authorize the Center to serve as a strategic conduit for cyber threat assessments and mitigation strategies, coordinating efforts among the Department of Energy (DOE), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the intelligence community, and private-sector energy operators. Introduced by Jim Risch, a Republican from Idaho,…
