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. ...

Hackers Are Using Fake Signed Productivity Apps to Infect Your PC—Here’s How to Stay Safe If you’ve ever downloaded a productivity tool like Zoom, Slack, or Notion from a search result rather than the official site, you’ve probably felt safe when Windows or macOS showed a “signed by a verified publisher” message. That green checkmark is supposed to mean the software hasn’t been tampered with and came from a legitimate developer. But a recently uncovered malware campaign called TamperedChef shows that trust can be misplaced. Attackers are using valid digital signatures on trojanized versions of these apps to slip past antivirus and straight onto your machine. ...

New TamperedChef Malware Hides Inside Signed Productivity Apps A recently uncovered malware campaign—dubbed TamperedChef—is using digitally signed productivity applications to bypass security defenses and deliver stealers and remote access trojans (RATs) to victims’ machines. The technique is not entirely new, but it underscores how attackers continue to exploit trust in code signing to slip past antivirus and endpoint detection. ...

Beware of Fake ‘Productivity’ Apps: New Malware Steals Data Using Signed Software Intro Most people assume that if an app shows a legitimate digital signature, it’s safe to install. That assumption is exactly what the creators of a new malware campaign, dubbed TamperedChef, are exploiting. First reported on May 21, 2026, by CyberSecurityNews, TamperedChef uses signed productivity applications to slip stealers and remote access trojans (RATs) onto users’ systems. This is a reminder that even software that appears to come from a trusted publisher can be dangerous. ...

New ‘TamperedChef’ Malware Hides in Signed Productivity Apps—What to Look For A new malware campaign, tracked as TamperedChef, is using digitally signed productivity applications to bypass security checks and deliver information stealers and remote access trojans (RATs). The threat was reported by CyberSecurityNews on May 21, 2026, and it highlights a growing trend: attackers are investing in legitimate-looking code signing certificates to make their malicious software appear trustworthy. ...

How TamperedChef Malware Sneaks in Through Fake Productivity Apps—and What You Can Do If you use productivity apps like Notepad++, PDF editors, or note-taking tools, you probably assume they’re safe as long as they appear to be digitally signed. A malware campaign known as TamperedChef is exploiting that trust. It uses fake versions of legitimate productivity software—complete with valid code‑signing certificates—to bypass security checks and install info‑stealers and remote access trojans (RATs) on victims’ machines. Here’s what’s happening and how you can protect yourself. ...

AI in Medical Imaging: What It Means for Your Privacy Artificial intelligence is being adopted rapidly in medical imaging—helping radiologists detect tumors faster, flag abnormalities, and even predict patient outcomes. But alongside these advances, a quieter concern is emerging: the privacy and security of the images themselves. ...

AI in Medical Imaging: A New Privacy Risk for Patients Artificial intelligence is increasingly used to help radiologists interpret X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. It can spot patterns that human eyes might miss and speed up diagnosis. But as AI becomes more embedded in medical imaging, a less discussed issue is emerging: new privacy and security risks for patients. Recent reports from the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) warn about deepfake medical images and vulnerabilities in large language models (LLMs) that could put your health data at risk. ...

New TamperedChef Malware Hides Inside Signed Productivity Apps – How to Stay Safe A recently discovered malware campaign is using a technique that makes malicious software look legitimate — even to security tools. Called TamperedChef, the malware arrives inside digitally signed productivity applications, allowing it to bypass some antivirus scans and trick users into trusting the download. Here’s what this means and how to avoid falling victim. ...

How Medical Imaging AI Could Expose Your Health Data—And What to Do About It Every time you get an X-ray, MRI, or CT scan, the images become part of your medical record. Hospitals increasingly use artificial intelligence tools to help radiologists interpret those images faster and more accurately. That sounds good—and often it is. But the same technology also introduces serious privacy risks that many patients don’t know about. ...
