Is Your Medical Scan Putting Your Privacy at Risk? What to Know About AI in Imaging Artificial intelligence is transforming how radiologists read X‑rays, CT scans, and MRIs. It can speed up diagnoses, catch subtle abnormalities, and even predict disease risk. But the same technology that makes imaging more powerful also creates new ways for your personal health data to be exposed. ...
TamperedChef Malware Exploits Signed Apps: Here’s How to Stay Safe A new malware campaign called TamperedChef is making the rounds, and it’s worth paying attention to even if you consider yourself careful with downloads. What makes it different is that the malicious installers are digitally signed—meaning they carry a certificate that usually signals to your computer and security software that the software is legitimate. That trust is exactly what the attackers are exploiting. ...
What Patients Need to Know About the Privacy Risks of Medical Imaging AI Artificial intelligence is becoming a routine part of medical imaging. Many radiology departments now use AI tools to help detect tumors, measure organ dimensions, or flag abnormalities in X‑rays, CT scans, and MRIs. This can mean faster, more accurate diagnoses. But there is a less visible side: your medical images may be processed by third‑party AI services, stored in the cloud, or used in ways you never consented to. ...
What Patients Need to Know About AI Privacy Risks in Medical Imaging Artificial intelligence is increasingly used to read X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. The promise is real: faster diagnoses, fewer missed findings, and more consistent interpretation. But a recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) warns that these tools also open the door to privacy risks that many patients and even some clinicians are not fully aware of. ...
TamperedChef Malware: How Hackers Use Signed Productivity Apps to Steal Your Data A new malware campaign, tracked as TamperedChef, is taking advantage of the trust people place in signed software. The attackers are distributing legitimate-looking productivity apps — clones or repackaged versions of tools like Notion, Trello, and Asana — that carry valid digital signatures. Once installed, these apps quietly deliver information stealers and remote access trojans (RATs) to the victim’s device. ...
What Patients Should Know About Privacy Risks in Medical Imaging AI Artificial intelligence is transforming radiology, helping radiologists detect tumors, fractures, and other findings more quickly and accurately. But the same technology that makes diagnosis faster also creates new privacy risks for patients. A recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) warns that AI tools can inadvertently re-identify people from supposedly anonymized medical images, and that large imaging datasets used for AI training are vulnerable to breaches. For many patients, the question is no longer just “Will AI help my care?” but “What happens to my data after the scan?” ...
New Malware ‘TamperedChef’ Hides in Signed Productivity Apps – What to Watch For On May 21, 2026, cybersecurity researchers disclosed a newly identified malware campaign named TamperedChef. It targets everyday users by disguising malicious installers as legitimate productivity software—and it uses stolen digital certificates to make those installers look authentic. If you download tools like Notepad++ or 7-Zip from unofficial sources, this campaign is worth understanding. ...
The Privacy Risks of AI in Medical Imaging: What Patients Need to Know Artificial intelligence is changing how medical images such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans are interpreted. AI tools can help radiologists detect diseases faster and more accurately. But along with these benefits, there are growing concerns about patient privacy. A recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) warns that AI in medical imaging opens what it calls a “Pandora’s box” of privacy-related risks. If you have ever had a medical scan, it is worth understanding what is at stake. ...
New ‘TamperedChef’ Malware Hides in Fake Productivity Apps – How to Stay Safe If you’ve ever searched for a free PDF editor or note-taking app and downloaded it from a random website, you’re not alone. Many people do it to save money or time. But a recent malware campaign called TamperedChef shows why that habit can be dangerous. The attackers are distributing malware that appears to be legitimate productivity software—and because the files are digitally signed, they look trustworthy even to security software. ...
How Medical Imaging AI Could Expose Your Private Health Data—What You Need to Know You go to the hospital for an X-ray or an MRI, and the image goes straight into a computer. A radiologist reads it, but these days an artificial intelligence tool may also analyze it to help spot a fracture or a tumor. That same AI system, however, may be storing more than just the scan. ...
