ORNL says portable detector kit can separate real GPS signals from fake ones even at equal strength
ORNL says portable detector kit can separate real GPS signals from fake ones even at equal strength GPS spoofing, which sends fake satellite-like signals, and GPS jamming, which drowns receivers in noise, are increasingly serious problems. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee have created what they say is the most effective system yet for detecting GPS interference, which could help blunt such attacks.…
Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a mobile forensics tool called Massistant that's used by law enforcement authorities in China to gather information from seized mobile devices
Starlink Routers in Ukraine and Gaza Trackable via Apple WPS, Researchers WarnApple's Wi-Fi-based positioning system can be abused to track the live location of various types of devices around the globe, including Starlink routers in war zones, researchers warn. Until Apple puts in place more defenses, they say the system will continue to pose a "large-scale privacy threat."
In evolving smarter security, open source is the missing link Opinion Some ideas work better than others. Take DARPA, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Launched by US President Dwight Eisenhower in 1957 response to Sputnik, its job is to create and test concepts that may be useful in thwarting enemies. Along the way, it's helped make happen GPS, weather satellites, PC technology, and something called the internet.…
