Quanten-Computing Warum Unternehmen dem Q-Day nicht ausgeliefert sind
Durchaus besorgt warnen Cybersicherheitsexperten seit Jahren vor dem sogenannten ‘Q-Day”. Dabei handelt es sich um einen hypothetischen Tag in der Zukunft oder eher einen Zeitpunkt, zu dem Quantencomputer in der Lage sein werden, gängige Verschlüsselungsmethoden zu knacken. Was einst als fernes, theoretisches Risiko galt, wird womöglich rascher zur Realität als ursprünglich angenommen. Fortschritte in […]…

Linux ELF Malware Generator Evades ML Detection With Semantic-Preserving Changes
As Linux continues to dominate high-performance computing, cloud services, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it has become a prime target for cybercriminals. However, while much research has focused on manipulating Windows executables to bypass security, the Linux Executable and Linkable Format (ELF) has largely been ignored. To address this gap, researchers at the Czech…
