AI in Medical Imaging: What Patients Need to Know About Privacy Risks Artificial intelligence is increasingly used to analyze medical images like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. These tools can detect diseases faster and sometimes more accurately than unaided radiologists. But a new report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) warns that this technology also introduces privacy risks that patients and healthcare providers need to take seriously. ...

TamperedChef Malware Uses Signed Apps to Sneak In – Here’s How to Protect Yourself A new malware campaign called TamperedChef is targeting everyday users by hiding inside signed versions of popular productivity apps. Unlike many threats that rely on obvious tricks, this one uses valid digital signatures to bypass basic security checks. Recent reports from May 2026 suggest the attacks are active and spreading through fake download sites and phishing emails. ...

Your Medical Scans Are More Vulnerable Than You Think: What AI Means for Privacy Medical imaging has entered a new era. AI tools now help radiologists detect tumors, measure organ volumes, and flag abnormalities in seconds. But this progress comes with a less discussed trade-off: your medical images are being used in ways you almost certainly never agreed to, and privacy protections have not kept pace. ...

AI in Medical Imaging: What You Should Know About Your Privacy Artificial intelligence is being used more and more to help radiologists read X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. These tools can spot patterns that human eyes might miss, speed up diagnosis, and reduce workloads. That’s good for patients. But as AI becomes a standard part of medical imaging, a quieter question is getting attention: what happens to your data after the image is taken? ...

Watch Out: Malware Hides Inside Signed Productivity Apps to Steal Your Data If you regularly download productivity apps to stay organized, you might be the target of a new malware campaign. Researchers have identified a threat called TamperedChef that uses digitally signed applications to install credential stealers and remote access trojans (RATs). The twist: the apps look legitimate and even pass basic security checks, making them harder to spot than typical fake software. ...

Medical Imaging AI Raises New Privacy Risks: What Patients Need to Know Medical imaging has become a crucial part of modern diagnostics, and artificial intelligence is increasingly used to interpret X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans faster than human radiologists. The promise is real—earlier detection, fewer missed findings, and less workload for overburdened clinicians. But a growing body of research from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) suggests a less discussed side effect: AI in medical imaging creates new privacy and security risks that patients should not ignore. From deepfake X-rays that fool both doctors and algorithms to large language model (LLM) threats that can bypass security systems, the vulnerabilities are more than theoretical. This article explains what is happening, why it matters to you, and what steps you can take to protect your medical images. ...

How Malware Hides Inside Signed Productivity Apps – What You Need to Know If you use apps like Notion, Trello, or Slack to manage your work or personal projects, you probably trust that the software you download is safe. Most people assume that if an app shows a valid digital signature, it has been checked by the developer and is free of malware. That assumption is being tested by a new campaign called TamperedChef. ...

How Medical Imaging AI Could Expose Your Private Health Data — and What to Do Artificial intelligence is making medical imaging faster and more accurate, but recent research reveals a darker side: the same AI tools that help radiologists spot disease can also be turned against patients. Deepfake X-rays, model inversion attacks, and security gaps in large language models (LLMs) are creating new ways for personal health data to be exposed or manipulated. Here’s what’s happening and how you can protect yourself. ...

How to Protect Your PC from TamperedChef Malware Hiding in Signed Productivity Apps A new malware campaign called TamperedChef is currently spreading by hiding inside legitimate productivity applications that still carry valid digital signatures. Instead of relying on typical tricks like fake updates or malicious macros, the attackers take real software—such as Notepad++, PDF editors, and file converters—and repackage them with information stealers and remote access trojans (RATs). Because the modified installer still bears a legitimate digital signature, many antivirus tools and users treat it as safe. ...

Your Medical Scans Could Be Faked: How AI Is Creating New Privacy Risks Medical imaging plays a central role in diagnosis, from broken bones to cancer detection. But a new set of risks is emerging as artificial intelligence becomes sophisticated enough to generate convincing fake X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs — and to automate attacks on the systems that store and transmit those images. Recent reports from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) highlight that these threats are no longer theoretical. ...
