The Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI) unveiled a newer version of its hyper-scale pre-trained deep learning model. The latest version of the model, known as Wudao, literally meaning an understanding of natural laws, sports 1.75 trillion parameters, breaking the record of 1.6 trillion previously set by Google's Switch Transformer AI language model.

This clearly is an important contract for SpaceX, as the U.S Department of Defense has near-limitless budgets and could become an important customer of Starship. SpaceX already launches spy and communications satellites for the US military. However, in moving into logistics and the potential movement of munitions, the company may be treading on an ethical line with some space enthusiasts. It would also further embolden the claims of some international critics, such as Russian space leader Dmitry Rogozin, who has suggested that SpaceX aims to launch nuclear weapons into space.

Why You Should Stop Using Other People's iPhone Cables. Cables were not designed to attack iPhones, but the Macs and other computers they're plugged into for a charge or a sync. O.MG cables are a very different twist on the theme. It doesn't matter what you plug the cable into - because the cable itself is the attack device. An independent WiFi access point, payload storage, geofencing capacity, the capacity to log keystrokes or inject its own - it can be instructed on the fly. Each cable can be controlled by a browser - you can log directly into the cable's access point or have the cable connect to a network to find its own route to you.

The Times gained access to the internal « dashboard » that DarkSide customers used to organize and carry out ransom attacks. The login information was provided by a cybercriminal through an intermediary. Access to the #DarkSide dashboard offered an extraordinary glimpse into the internal workings of a Russian-speaking gang that has become the face of global cybercrime. Cast in stark black and white, the dashboard gave users access to DarkSide's list of targets as well as a running ticker of profits and a connection to the group's customer support staff, with whom affiliates could craft strategies for squeezing their victims. The dashboard was still operational as of May 20, 2021 when a Times reporter logged in, even though DarkSide had released a statement a week earlier saying it was shutting down. According to the cybersecurity firm Elliptic, which has studied DarkSide's Bitcoin wallets, the gang has received about $15.5 million in Bitcoin since October 2020, with another $75 million going to affiliates.

A new ransomware enters the fray - The name Epsilon Red, like many coined by ransomware threat actors, is a reference to pop culture. The character Epsilon Red was a relatively obscure adversary of some of the X-Men in the Marvel extended universe, a “super soldier” alleged to be of Russian origin, sporting four mechanical tentacles and a bad attitude.
