Toyota Tsusho Insurance Broker India, an Indo-Japanese joint insurance venture, operated a misconfigured server that exposed more than 650,000 Microsoft-hosted email messages to customers, a security researcher has found. Zveare then examined the calculator web page on the TTIBI website and saw that it included a client-side function that created a request to send email using a server-side API. "This caught my eye because this was a client-side email sending mechanism," he wrote in a post describing his findings.
![Apple, AMD, Qualcomm GPU security hole lets miscreants snoop on AI training and chats](/static/build/img/news/apple-amd-qualcomm-gpu-security-hole-lets-miscreants-snoop-on-ai-training-and-chats-small.jpg)
Research made public on Tuesday detailed how miscreants can exploit the hole to read data they're not supposed to in a system's local GPU memory. While the flaw potentially affects all GPU applications on vulnerable chips, it is especially concerning for those processing machine-learning applications because of the amount of data these models process using GPUs, and therefore the amount of potentially sensitive information that could be swiped by exploiting this issue.
