A new Android malware named NGate can steal money from payment cards by relaying to an attacker's device the data read by the near-field communication (NFC) chip. [...]
Intel has divulged more details on its Raptor Lake family of 13th and 14th Gen Core processor failures and the 0x129 microcode that's supposed to prevent further damage from occurring. The chipmaker previously disclosed that the so-called instability issue plaguing many Raptor Lake chips stems from an elevated operating voltage set by the processor itself.

Google Cloud announced a new enterprise subscription for Chrome and a bevy of generative AI add-ons for Google Workspace during the Cloud Next '24 conference, held in Las Vegas from April 9 - 11. Overall, Google Cloud is putting its Gemini generative AI in place as much as it can; for instance, the company is betting on providing Vertex AI infrastructure for other companies' AI and hardware like the new Axion CPU. We attended a pre-briefing for an early look at the new features and tools, including a generative AI video service for marketing and internal communications use.
The threat resides in the chips' data memory-dependent prefetcher, a hardware optimization that predicts the memory addresses of data that running code is likely to access in the near future. The breakthrough of the new research is that it exposes a previously overlooked behavior of DMPs in Apple silicon: Sometimes they confuse memory content, such as key material, with the pointer value that is used to load other data.
The newly exposed GoFetch vulnerability affecting Apple's M1, M2 and M3 chips lets an attacker exfiltrate secret keys from cryptographic applications on a targeted system. DMPs - in contrast to classical prefetchers that only store the memory access pattern - "Also take into account the contents of data memory directly to determine what to prefetch," as written in the publication from Boru Chen, Yingchen Wang, Pradyumna Shome, Christopher W. Fletcher, David Kohlbrenner, Riccardo Paccagnella and Daniel Genkin that reveals all of the details about the GoFetch vulnerability.
The GoFetch vulnerability found on Apple M-series and Intel Raptor Lake CPUs has been further unpacked by the researchers who first disclosed it. DMPs are present on all Apple M-series CPUs and Intel's Raptor Lake processors, and the dedicated website for GoFetch now shows how exactly the exploit is carried out.
A new security shortcoming discovered in Apple M-series chips could be exploited to extract secret keys used during cryptographic operations. Dubbed GoFetch, the vulnerability relates to a...
SEMI, an industry association representing 3,000 chip vendors, would really appreciate it if the European Union would back off plans to impose export controls on China, arguing that they should only be used as a "Last resort" to protect national security. Restrictions on the export of chip tech have become a potent instrument in US efforts to stifle China's domestic semiconductor industry.
