On average, it takes adversaries just 42 seconds and five interactions to execute a GenAI jailbreak, according to Pillar Security.

"Of course, here's an example of simple code in the Python programming language that can be associated with the keywords "MyHotKeyHandler," "Keylogger," and "macOS," this is a message from ChatGPT...

Researchers from the Technical University of Berlin have developed a method to jailbreak the AMD-based infotainment systems used in all recent Tesla car models and make it run any software they choose. The hack allows the researchers to extract the unique hardware-bound RSA key that Tesla uses for car authentication in its service network, as well as voltage glitching to activate software-locked features such as seat heating and 'Acceleration Boost' that Tesla car owners normally have to pay for.

Users of enterprise-managed Chromebooks now, for better or worse, have a way to break the shackles of administrative control through an exploit called SHI1MMER. SH1MMER - you may pronounce the "1" as an "i" - is a shim exploit, or more specifically, a weaponized Return Merchandise Authorization shim. A shim is Google-signed software used by hardware service vendors for Chromebook diagnostics and repairs.

As if the Log4Shell hellscape wasn't already driving everybody starkers, it's time to update iOS 15.2 and a crop of other Apple iGadgets, lest your iPhone get taken over by a malicious app that executes arbitrary code with kernel privileges. To paraphrase one mobile security expert, the iOS 15.2 and iPadOS update - released by Apple on Monday along with updates for macOS, tvOS and watchOS - is as hairy as a Lhasa Apso.

Apple on Monday released updates to iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS with security patches for multiple vulnerabilities, including a remote jailbreak exploit chain as well as a number of critical issues in the Kernel and Safari web browser that were first demonstrated at the Tianfu Cup held in China two months ago. A set of kernel vulnerabilities were eventually harnessed by the Pangu Team at the Tianfu hacking contest to break into an iPhone13 Pro running iOS 15, a feat that netted the white hat hackers $330,000 in cash rewards.
