The AI Fix #44: AI-generated malware, and a stunning AI breakthrough

Read Time:33 Second

In episode 44 of The AI Fix, ChatGPT won’t build a crystal meth lab, GPT-4o improves the show’s podcast art, some students manage to screw in a lightbulb, Google releases Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental and nobody notices, and Mark invents a clock for measuring AI time.

Graham explains how ChatGPT’s love for Young Adult fiction can be used to turn it into an evil malware developer, and Mark looks at the ARC-AGI-2 benchmark and a staggering leap forward in AI intelligence.

All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.

Cell Phone OPSEC for Border Crossings

Read Time:36 Second

I have heard stories of more aggressive interrogation of electronic devices at US border crossings. I know a lot about securing computers, but very little about securing phones.

Are there easy ways to delete data—files, photos, etc.—on phones so it can’t be recovered? Does resetting a phone to factory defaults erase data, or is it still recoverable? That is, does the reset erase the old encryption key, or just sever the password that access that key? When the phone is rebooted, are deleted files still available?

We need answers for both iPhones and Android phones. And it’s not just the US; the world is going to become a more dangerous place to oppose state power.

This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that nginx incorrectly handled when multiple
server blocks are configured to share the same IP address and port.
An attacker could use this issue to use session resumption to bypass
client certificate authentication requirements on these servers.
