Your Medical Scans Are Now AI Training Data: What That Means for Your Privacy If you’ve ever had an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan, those images are stored in a digital record. What you may not know is that more hospitals and radiology clinics are now feeding those scans into artificial intelligence tools—both to help radiologists detect disease and to train the algorithms themselves. ...
How a New Malware Hides Inside Signed Productivity Apps – What to Know If you’ve ever downloaded a free version of a paid productivity tool from an unfamiliar site, you’re not alone. A lot of people do it to save money or get a feature quickly. But a recent campaign called TamperedChef shows why that habit is riskier than ever. Attackers are taking legitimate productivity applications, injecting malware into them, and then signing the tampered files with valid digital certificates. That means the file looks perfectly normal to your operating system and many security tools. ...
Beware: TamperedChef Malware Hides in Signed Productivity Apps to Steal Your Data A new malware campaign named TamperedChef is making the rounds, and it has a particularly sneaky trick: it uses legitimate-looking, digitally signed productivity applications to deliver information stealers and remote access trojans (RATs). Because the apps appear to be signed by their real publishers, many users let their guard down. Here’s what you need to know and how to avoid becoming a victim. ...
TamperedChef Malware Uses Signed Apps to Steal Data – How to Stay Safe If you rely on productivity apps to manage your daily tasks, a new malware campaign called TamperedChef deserves your attention. Attackers are using signed versions of these apps to sneak past security software and infect devices with information stealers and remote access trojans (RATs). The threat is real and active. Here’s what you need to know and how to protect yourself. ...
How AI in Medical Imaging Risks Your Privacy — and What to Do About It If you’ve had an X‑ray, MRI, or CT scan recently, the images that help doctors diagnose you are probably also being analyzed by artificial intelligence. That’s often a good thing: AI can spot subtle patterns a human eye might miss, leading to earlier detection of diseases like cancer. But a growing number of experts are warning that widespread AI use in radiology comes with serious privacy trade‑offs. ...
How to Spot Malware Hidden in Fake Signed Productivity Apps A new malware campaign is targeting everyday users by hijacking a trick that normally helps keep software safe: digital signatures. The malware, dubbed TamperedChef, uses stolen or forged code‑signing certificates to make malicious copies of popular productivity apps look completely legitimate. If you use tools like Notion, Slack, Trello, or similar programs, this is worth understanding—not because you should panic, but because the right habits can keep you out of harm’s way. ...
AI in Medical Imaging: The Privacy Risks Patients Should Know About If you’ve had an X‑ray, MRI, or CT scan in the last year, there’s a decent chance the images were not only reviewed by a radiologist but also fed into an algorithm. Hospitals and clinics are adopting AI tools to help detect cancers, measure organs, and flag abnormalities. The promise is real: faster, sometimes more accurate diagnoses. ...
Medical Imaging AI Raises Serious Privacy Risks: What Patients Need to Know Artificial intelligence is changing how radiologists read X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. Algorithms can now spot tumors, fractures, and other abnormalities faster than a human eye. But this progress comes with a catch: your medical images may be far less private than you think. ...
New Malware Hides Inside Fake Productivity Apps: How to Protect Yourself Another week, another reminder that even well-known categories of software can be weaponized. Security researchers recently reported on a malware campaign called TamperedChef that delivers credential-stealers and remote access trojans (RATs) through fake productivity apps. What makes this campaign particularly tricky is that the malicious apps appear to be signed with legitimate certificates, which can fool both users and some security tools. Here’s what’s happening, why it matters to you, and what you can do to stay safe. ...
Is Your Medical Image Data Safe? Privacy Risks of AI in Radiology If you’ve ever had an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan, those images contain far more than the information your doctor needs to make a diagnosis. They are now also raw material for artificial intelligence systems that are being deployed in radiology departments worldwide. And according to a recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), this rapid adoption of AI is opening up risks to patient privacy that many people are not aware of. ...
