Submission + - Leaked documents detail Russian companies cyber attacks. (theguardian.com)

Falconhell writes: The Gaurdian reports on a document leak from Russian cyber “security” company Vulkan.
“ Inside the six-storey building, a new generation is helping Russian military operations. Its weapons are more advanced than those of Peter the Great’s era: not pikes and halberds, but hacking and disinformation tools.

The software engineers behind these systems are employees of NTC Vulkan. On the surface, it looks like a run-of-the-mill cybersecurity consultancy. However, a leak of secret files from the company has exposed its work bolstering Vladimir Putin’s cyberwarfare capabilities.”

‘’ Scientists are developing magnetically guided microscopic projectiles that can be injected into patients’ blood to attack breast, prostate and other tumours.

The project – led by researchers at Sheffield University – builds on progress in two key medical fields. The first involves viruses that specifically attack tumours. The second focuses on soil bacteria that manufacture magnets which they use to align themselves in the Earth’s magnetic field.

“The essence of this approach is straightforward: we are using bugs as drugs,” said Dr Munitta Muthana, one of the project’s leaders. “We are taking a class of viruses that naturally target tumours and are developing ways to help them reach internal tumours by exploiting bacteria that make magnets. It’s a twin approach and it has a lot of promise, we believe.”

Submission + - Boeing to use simulations rather than real world tests (theregister.co.uk)

Falconhell writes: In an ironic turn of events, Boeing wants to skip some phisical certification tests and use only simulations.
Given their current situation, this seems a rather controversial move. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Farticl...
