What the Rise of AI in Medical Imaging Means for Your Privacy Artificial intelligence is transforming how radiologists read scans. Algorithms can now detect tumors, fractures, and early signs of disease faster than a human eye. But there is a less visible side to this progress: medical images contain far more information than what meets the eye – and AI is getting better at extracting it. ...
Fake Productivity Apps Spreading TamperedChef Malware: How to Stay Safe A new wave of malware is spreading through counterfeit versions of popular productivity apps. Dubbed TamperedChef by some researchers, the attack uses digitally signed installers to slip stealers and remote access trojans past security software. If you rely on apps like Microsoft Teams or other collaboration tools for work, the following explains what’s happening and how to avoid getting caught. ...
How to Protect Your Medical Images from AI Privacy Risks: A Patient’s Guide If you’ve had an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan recently, there’s a growing chance that your images are being used not just for diagnosis but also to train artificial intelligence systems. AI tools in radiology can help detect tumors, fractures, and other abnormalities faster and more accurately. But this rapid adoption has raised serious privacy concerns that patients should understand. ...
New ‘TamperedChef’ Malware Hides Inside Signed Productivity Apps – What to Do Now If you regularly download productivity apps—note‑taking tools, collaboration software, or office utilities—you might assume a digital signature means the file is safe. A recent campaign called TamperedChef exploits that trust. Security researchers report that attackers are using legitimately signed productivity apps to bypass antivirus and endpoint protection, then silently install stealers and remote access trojans (RATs) on victims’ devices. Here’s what we know and how to protect yourself. ...
Malware Hidden in Signed Productivity Apps: How to Protect Yourself If you use apps like Microsoft Teams, Slack, or other productivity tools at work or home, a new malware campaign called TamperedChef should be on your radar. Security researchers have found that attackers are packaging malware inside legitimate-looking, signed versions of these apps. Because the apps carry valid digital signatures, they often slip past antivirus and other security checks. ...
Your Medical Scans Could Feed AI Models: Here’s What to Know About Privacy Risks Introduction If you’ve had an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan recently, chances are that image was processed or interpreted with the help of artificial intelligence. Radiology AI tools can speed up diagnoses, reduce human error, and spot patterns a radiologist might miss. But the same technology that makes scans more useful also creates new privacy concerns. Your medical images—often considered among the most sensitive personal data—are being fed into AI models in ways that patients rarely understand or consent to. ...
New Malware Hides Inside Fake Signed Productivity Apps—Here’s How to Spot Them If you’ve ever searched for a free download of Microsoft Teams, Slack, or Zoom outside the official channels, you might have stumbled upon something that looks legitimate but isn’t. A new malware campaign called TamperedChef is using fake versions of these productivity apps—and what makes them particularly dangerous is that they are cryptographically signed, which can fool both users and basic security checks. ...
Fake Signed Apps Are Spreading Malware – Here’s How to Spot Them Most of us have been told that “signed” software is safe. When you download a program and see a digital signature from a known publisher, Windows or macOS will usually let it run without extra warnings. But that trust is being exploited in a new wave of malware campaigns — including one security researchers have named TamperedChef. ...
Medical Imaging AI Raises New Privacy Concerns – Here’s What Patients Need to Know Artificial intelligence is making its way into radiology departments across the country. Algorithms can now help detect tumors, fractures, and other findings in X‑rays, CT scans, and MRIs faster than ever. But a recent report from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) warns that these advances come with a growing set of privacy risks that patients should be aware of. While the benefits of AI in medical imaging are real, the way patient data flows into these tools is often invisible to the people whose images are being used. This article explains what the RSNA found, why it matters for you, and what you can do to protect your medical data. ...
New ‘TamperedChef’ Malware Targets Productivity Apps: What You Need to Know If you rely on Microsoft Teams, Slack, or Zoom for daily work, a new malware campaign called TamperedChef is worth your attention. It’s not another phishing link—it’s a more subtle trick: fake or compromised versions of those apps, signed with legitimate-looking code certificates, that quietly drop credential-stealers and remote access tools onto your machine. ...
