Direct cell engineering reshapes cancer therapy

Californian researchers have demonstrated a new method to generate cancer-fighting immune cells directly inside the human body, potentially transforming one of the most complex and costly treatments for blood cancers. The approach, detailed in a peer-reviewed study, aims to bypass the elaborate laboratory process required for conventional CAR-T therapy, offering the prospect of faster, more accessible treatment. Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, widely known as CAR-T, has […]

UAE gas hub resumes after attack disruption

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Operations at a major natural gas processing facility in Abu Dhabi have resumed following a disruption that forced a temporary halt to supplies critical for domestic energy needs, while much of the country’s liquefied natural gas output remains curtailed.

Officials […]

Low cost KVM flaws expose enterprise control

Cheap IP-KVM devices widely used in enterprise environments have been found to contain critical security vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to seize low-level control of entire networks, according to findings from multiple cybersecurity researchers. The flaws, identified across several budget remote management products, enable attackers to bypass standard security protections and gain direct access to connected systems at the BIOS level. Once compromised, a single IP-KVM device […]

VoidStealer bypass targets Chrome encryption safeguards

A new strain of the malware-as-a-service infostealer known as VoidStealer has introduced a technique that allows attackers to extract sensitive data from Google Chrome without relying on privilege escalation or code injection, marking a shift in how browser security defences are being bypassed. Security researchers tracking the campaign say the updated variant leverages a debugger-based method to defeat Chrome’s Application-Bound Encryption, a protection designed to secure stored […]

CanisterWorm exploits npm accounts at scale

A coordinated supply chain attack targeting the Node Package Manager ecosystem has exposed a new level of automation and persistence, with threat actors hijacking trusted publisher accounts to distribute malicious code across widely used software libraries. Security researchers tracking the campaign, known as “CanisterWorm,” say it relies on stolen access tokens and compromised namespaces to infiltrate development pipelines without immediate detection. The campaign has been linked to […]
