Predator Spyware hooks iOS SpringBoard to hide Mic & Camera Activity.

The malware does not exploit any iOS vulnerability but leverages previously obtained kernel-level access to hijack system indicators that would otherwise expose its surveillance operation.

⁉️Researchers at mobile device management company Jamf analyzed Predator samples and documented the process of hiding the privacy-related indicators.⁉️

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing #developer, #engineer and #producer Dan Korneff from Korneff Audio, creator of legendary plugins like Chocolate Milk, and Pawn Shop Comp.

We discussed audio #plugin design, #analog inspiration, and using #linux for #proaudio workloads. 😎

Fake Zoom, Teams Meeting Invites use Compromised Certificates to Drop Malware.

A new wave of phishing attacks is hitting office workers where they feel safest- their daily meeting invites. Instead of using obvious malware, threat actors are now using stolen digital certificates to trick computers into trusting malicious files.

⁉️According to researchers from the Microsoft Defender Security Research Team, these attacks involve highly convincing fake updates for apps like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Adobe Reader.⁉️

I was reading google tools and saw https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-library/guides/development/keep-files-in-sync/ which looks like a linter job doing some replace. Here is a open source tool doing that https://github.com/simonepri/ifttt-lint

I am wondering where do we use this kind of tool in projects ? Just real world scenarios.

please boost to reach more people.

TIA

I've been working with #AI for 20 years. It's been, in one way or another, something I've been doing my entire adult life.

I've been working with Language Models for over 10 years. Been working with computational linguistics for over 20 years.

I've been working with Large Language Models for 6 year, and 3 in a professional capacity.

I have spoken at conferences, been in academic debates, given lectures, published a small press paper, and arm pre-publication for a paper in the psychometric society on them.

I recently had a #Job interview where a "Software #Engineer" at least a decade younger than me interviewed me about #Agentic AI System design. The pre-instructions, AI written, explicitly told me to identify problems in my code, and proactively tackle them without being asked.

The person interviewing me did not understand the words coming out of my mouth,.

They did not understand the problem space they were interviewing me on.

They didn't know what job I was applying for.

They literally said that they think "#Claude #Code is perfect.

They haven't written any code for a year.

I did not get the job I applied to as an "AI Engineer".

I was genuinely embarassed for the person interviewing me, and infuriated that the company would put me through this process.
