Nightmare Fuel: Artificial Intelligence for Drug Discovery Repurposed to Discover New Chemical Weapons

"Our company—Collaborations Pharmaceuticals, Inc.—had recently published computational machine learning models for toxicity prediction in different areas, and, in developing our presentation to the Spiez meeting, we opted to explore how AI could be used to design toxic molecules. It was a thought exercise we had not considered before that ultimately evolved into a computational proof … Continue reading Nightmare Fuel: Artificial Intelligence for Drug Discovery Repurposed to Discover New Chemical Weapons

Collateral Damage: SATCOM Terminals

"My theory is that attackers somehow managed to compromise/spoof the ground station/NOC in charge of those spot beams covering, at least, Ukraine. At a certain time they abused a legitimate control protocol to issue specific commands to the targeted SATCOM terminals, resulting in the claimed permanent damage. That request may involve disabling the transmitter, corrupting … Continue reading Collateral Damage: SATCOM Terminals
