The AI backdoor your security stack is not built to see

The AI backdoor your security stack is not built to see 2026-05-18 at 09:42 By Sinisa Markovic Enterprises deploying LLMs have spent the past two years building defenses around a reasonable assumption: malicious behavior leaves a trace in the input. Scan for suspicious tokens, filter unusual characters, watch for prompt injection patterns. New research from […]

Deepfake detection is losing ground to generative models

Deepfake detection is losing ground to generative models 2026-05-15 at 09:04 By Sinisa Markovic Deepfake detection has been built around a single question for close to a decade. Given a video or audio clip, is it real or synthetic? Commercial detectors analyze pixels, frequencies, and biometric signals to answer that question, and the best of […]

Zombie linkages are keeping expired domains trusted for years

Zombie linkages are keeping expired domains trusted for years 2026-05-15 at 08:24 By Sinisa Markovic Domains expire, get transferred, and return to the market every day. The systems connected to those domains can continue trusting the original owner long after control has changed. Researchers at USC and the University of Twente examined this problem in […]

The hidden smart fridge risks that emerge years after purchase

The hidden smart fridge risks that emerge years after purchase 2026-05-12 at 09:28 By Mirko Zorz Household refrigerators are built to last more than a decade. The software, cloud services, and mobile apps that control them are not. A new analysis from Erik Buchmann at Leipzig University maps what happens when those two timelines collide, […]

One keypress is all it takes to compromise four AI coding tools

One keypress is all it takes to compromise four AI coding tools 2026-05-08 at 01:14 By Mirko Zorz Developers clone unfamiliar repositories all the time. Open-source projects, work from teammates, sample code from a tutorial, a library someone recommended on a forum. The convention is old and reasonable: you look at what’s inside before you […]

Can your coding style predict whether your code is vulnerable?

Can your coding style predict whether your code is vulnerable? 2026-05-05 at 13:21 By Sinisa Markovic Developers leave fingerprints in the code they write. Naming choices, indentation patterns, preferred APIs, and the way someone structures a loop or handles a pointer all carry traces of individual habit. Researchers have used these stylistic signals for years […]

What researchers learned about building an LLM security workflow

What researchers learned about building an LLM security workflow 2026-05-04 at 09:46 By Sinisa Markovic Security operations centers are running into the same wall everywhere. Detection tools generate more alerts than analysts can work through, and the early stages of any investigation involve pulling together logs from several sources to decide whether something is worth […]

Researchers develop tool to expose GPS signal spoofing in transit networks

Researchers develop tool to expose GPS signal spoofing in transit networks 2026-04-30 at 15:31 By Anamarija Pogorelec The Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed a portable detector that identifies GPS spoofing in real time, including during motion, to help protect transportation systems. Spoofing involves transmitting counterfeit signals that imitate authentic GPS transmissions and produce […]

Indirect prompt injection is taking hold in the wild

Indirect prompt injection is taking hold in the wild 2026-04-24 at 23:26 By Zeljka Zorz The open web is slowly but surely filling up with “traps” designed for LLM-powered AI agents. The technique, known as indirect prompt injection (IPI), involves hiding (more or less) covert instructions inside ordinary web pages, waiting for an AI agent […]

A study of 1,000 Android apps finds a privacy policy logging gap

A study of 1,000 Android apps finds a privacy policy logging gap 2026-04-24 at 08:22 By Anamarija Pogorelec Android developers write log statements for the same reasons they always have: debugging crashes, tracing performance issues, and understanding how features behave in production. Legal and privacy teams, working from templates and regulatory checklists, draft policies describing […]

Researchers build an encrypted routing layer for private AI inference

Researchers build an encrypted routing layer for private AI inference 2026-04-21 at 07:31 By Sinisa Markovic Organizations in healthcare, finance, and other sensitive industries want to use large AI models without exposing private data to the cloud servers running those models. A cryptographic technique called Secure Multi-Party Computation (MPC) makes this possible. It splits data […]

Command integrity breaks in the LLM routing layer

Command integrity breaks in the LLM routing layer 2026-04-16 at 09:02 By Sinisa Markovic Systems that rely on LLM agents often send requests through intermediary routing services before reaching a model. These routers connect to different providers through a single endpoint and manage how requests are handled. This layer can influence what gets executed and […]

Network segmentation projects fail in predictable patterns

Network segmentation projects fail in predictable patterns 2026-04-15 at 07:25 By Mirko Zorz Most enterprise networks have segmentation on the roadmap. Many have had it there for years. A survey of 400 U.S.-based network security practitioners who lived through failed segmentation projects finds that failure clusters into four distinct patterns, and the type of failure […]
