This week, Amazon Web Services introduced new integrations with its Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL and Amazon DynamoDB
database management services that allow them to share data with the Amazon Redshift data warehouse services,
without the need to set up ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) workflows between them.
Researchers found a flaw in a Kia web portal that let them track millions of cars, unlock doors, and
start engines at will—the latest in a plague of web bugs that’s affected a dozen carmakers.
A paravisor executes within the confidential trust boundary and provides the virtualization and device services
needed by a general-purpose operating system (OS), enabling existing VM workloads to execute securely without
requiring continual service of the OS to take advantage of innovative advances in confidential computing
technology. As confidential computing becomes available on more hardware platforms and evolves, the software
stack can keep VMs running seamlessly thanks to the paravisor, in much the same way other advances in
virtualization software enabled VMs to run seamlessly on ever evolving hardware.
The 9.0 release of System.Text.Json includes many features, primarily with a focus on JSON schema and intelligent
application support. It also includes highly requested enhancements such as nullable reference type support,
customizing enum member names, out-of-order metadata deserialization and customizing serialization indentation.
The malware, tracked under the name FASTCash, is a remote access tool that gets installed on payment switches
inside compromised networks that handle payment card transactions.
The purpose of FASTCash is to compromise a key switch inside the complex networks that broker payment
transactions among merchants and their banks on the one hand and, on the other, the payment card issuers
who must approve a transaction… When a compromised card is used to make a fraudulent translation,
FASTCash tampers with the messages the switch receives from issuers before relaying it back to the
merchant bank. As a result, issuer messages denying the transaction are changed to approvals.
If you need to access a variable during the build process but not at runtime, use ARG. If you need to access
the variable both during the build and at runtime, or only at runtime, use ENV.
The invisible characters, the result of a quirk in the Unicode text encoding standard, create an ideal covert channel
that can make it easier for attackers to conceal malicious payloads fed into an LLM. The hidden text can similarly
obfuscate the exfiltration of passwords, financial information, or other secrets out of the same AI-powered bots.
Because the hidden text can be combined with normal text, users can unwittingly paste it into prompts.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Chinese hackers (Salt Typhoon) penetrated the networks of US broadband providers,
and might have accessed the backdoors that the federal government uses to execute court-authorized wiretap requests. Those
backdoors have been mandated by law—CALEA—since 1994.
