What happened

Security-focused blog items discuss a computationally expensive RSA signature-forgery attack against unpadded (“pure”) RSA signatures, AI-enabled cyber misuse involving reconnaissance, exploitation, phishing, credential theft, cloud compromise and data theft, sophisticated malicious npm packages that evade install-script defenses, AI model self-jailbreaking, and reverse engineering of surveillance cameras that detect and store imagery of people, vehicles, license plates and bicycles. The RSA technique does not recover private keys and is generally not applicable to properly padded RSA schemes.
