Los hackers norcoreanos del grupo Lazarus se blindan con IA y cifrado poscuántico

La computación cuántica, todavía en fase experimental, está llamada a revolucionar la informática. Se supone que multiplicará exponencialmente la capacidad de cómputo de los ordenadores. Eso es una muy buena noticia para la investigación y los desarrolladores, pero también tiene algunas implicaciones en el campo de la seguridad: los ordenadores cuánticos serán tan potentes que, presumiblemente, serán capaces de romper el cifrado (es decir, conseguir la clave) de muchas de las comunicaciones consideradas hoy bien protegidas. Este problema lleva tiempo anticipándose en el campo de la ciberseguridad, que busca estrategias para desarrollar sistemas de criptografía que puedan resistir a ordenadores cuánticos.

In November, U.S. voters elected Donald Trump as president, a figure widely regarded as a bad joke by both Democrats and establishment Republicans. Both events marked the beginning of a far-right wave that, a decade later, continues to sweep across much of the world. And both were aided, perhaps decisively, by a small London-based political consultancy: Cambridge Analytica. The company collected data from 87 million Facebook users without their consent and used it to create personalized political propaganda to boost the campaigns for Trump and Brexit, among others.

Websites down and bots disabled: The unexpected consequences of bombing data centers

Ukraine has struck a major blow to Russia’s digital infrastructure. Since last Thursday, Ukrainian drones have carried out a series of attacks that destroyed three large data centers belonging to Yandex — known as “the Kremlin’s Google”— on the outskirts of Moscow. The Yandex Taxi ride-hailing app and the group’s payments service, Yandex Pay, have been temporarily taken offline. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy even said the bombings disabled Russian bots.
